Current Loop Transmitter
The current loop transmitter will transmit a 4-20mA output to an external
receiver. The loop compliance on the transmitter is 12.5V. Loop
compliance is the maximum voltage at which a transmitter can generate
to achieve the maximum current and is usually a function of the power
supply voltage. Therefore, the PowerFlex 7000 ‗C‘ Frame transmitter
can drive a receiver with an input resistance up to 625 ohms. The figure
below shows a block diagram of the transmitter.

This type of transmitter is known as a 4-wire transmitter, and will
―sink‖ current from a receiver. The receiver is connected by two wires
only from pins 20 (+ connection) and either pins 18, 19, 21
(- connection).
The recommended connection is shown above. The type of shielded
cable used is application specific and is determined by the length of
the run, the characteristic impedance and the frequency content of
the signal.
