d/p flow transmitter LP side give to pressure.what you
geting out put ? how you get(ma)?
Answer Posted / carl_ellis
A loop powered transmitter's output can NEVER go to 3.0 mA
or 2.0 mA or 1.5 mA because this range is the electrical
current used to run the transmitter's electronics. A 2 wire
transmitter needs about 3.6 mA just to run its own
electronics. A 2 wire transmitter can only go as low as 0.1
or maybe 0.15mA below the nominal 4.0mA 'zero' to 3.9 mA or
3.85 mA.
But, 4.0 mA can be a negative number. There can be pressure
ranges of
-0.5 bar to - 0.8 bar
-0.5 bar to 0.0 bar or
-0.5 bar to +1.0 bar or
If the high side is left open to the atmosphere and a
pressure applied to the low side, the pressure will be
negative because a DP transmitter subtracts the low side
from the high side.
high side minus low side = pressure
atmosphere minus pressure = negative pressure
0 barg minus 0.5 barg = -0.5 barg
Just because the pressure is negative doesn't mean the
output has to be negative. The 4-20mA range just represents
a pressure range and that range can include a negative
pressures. The 4-20mA is interpreted as a positive or
negative value by the receiver, the
DCS/PLC/controller/indicator.

Whether the DI, DOs shields can be connected with Analog Input Shield Earthpit?
A PLC is programmed to drive three motors A, B and C as follows : After running motor A for an hour, motor B should get ON and motor A should get OFF. And after running motor B for an hour, motor C should get ON and motor B should get OFF. And after running motor C for an hour, motor A should get ON and motor C should get OFF. (That is, a cyclic repetition with time period one hour) Now, the second condition is: If any motor gone faulty and is tripped, the consecutive motor should get ON and the faulty (tripped) motor should be eliminated from cyclic repetition. The remaining two motors should bear the cyclic repetition of one hour each. (For healthy motor take logic as high and for tripped motor take logic as low) Now, the third condition is: When motor A load(Amps) exceeds 60% of its rated load, motor B should get ON in parallel to motor A. And when both motors A & B are running in parallel, and if their load exceeds 60% of their rated load, motor C should also start in parallel to A & B. [Here the cyclic repetition is eliminated, until their loads become normal(40%)] [Take logic high(1) for load at 60% and logic low(0) for load at 40%] Now draw a flow chart or a ladder diagram to fulfill the above condition.
