Example 1
Situation
A pressure sensor that generates a 4-20 milliamp signal is connected to
the CAS. The specifications of the sensor state that it generates 4
milliamps at 0.0 PSI and 20 mA at 50.0 PSI.
Setup
The sensor is connected to a channel input set up with a resistor scaling
network to produce 60 millivolts at 20 mA. (See the Inputs section of
Chapter 2: Installation for more information on scaling networks.)
The sensor measures PSI in tenths, so the appropriate display format is -
999.9 to +3000.0.
This table shows the input readings.
The scaling values are therefore:
