>A programmable Logic Controller (PLC) is a solid state/computerized industrial controller that performs discrete or sequential logic in a factory environment. It was originally developed to replace mechanical relays, timers and counters. PLCs are used successfully to execute complicated control operations in a plant................!!!

>It is field programmable by the user. It allows the user to modify the programs as per the requirements of a plant without having to send the unit back to the manufacturer for this purpose.
>Plant Automation is the necessity for the manufacturing industry to survive in today’s globally competitive market.

We Have Two Field bus Pressure Transmitters of Different Sensor Range (I.E One is of Lower range and Another is of Higher Range).Is same Process Line. My Question is Can i provide Saturation Limit to my field Bus Transmitter as We can provide Saturation current limit to HART Instruments. As During Low Pressure Both Working OK ,But During High Pressure, transmitter with Lower sensor range Goes to Fault mode as Beyond its Sensor Limit it can Measure, So may I provide Saturation point Some where to Suppress This Fault during High Pressure.
