Signal clamping in pressure transmitters

In certain applications, the existing or voltage signal of a pressure transmitter must not exceed and/or drop below a crucial value. Legitimate can be ensured with the aid of so-called signal limiting.Why is a sign clamping necessary to begin with?If Sacred on a pressure transmitter lies within the nominal pressure range, then you will have … Read more

Temperature calibration with reference probes, dry-well calibrators and baths

Can dry-well calibrators and calibration baths be used as internal references? Money -well calibrators and baths are a practical solution for temperature calibrations. This is true both in the field and in laboratories, as they provide a free-standing, stable temperature source with a built-in platinum resistance thermometer (PRT).The PRT measures the temperature inside the dry-well … Read more

Difference of 4-20 mA in 2-wire and 3-wire technology in pressure sensors

What exactly is the difference between your 4-20 mA output signal in 2- and 3-wire technology? This question is answered best from the viewpoint of the user: An output signal in 2-wire technology means:less wiring requiredbetter EMC protection, since interferences could be filtered more easilybetter protection against wiring errorsThe only benefit of 3-wire technology is … Read more
