Answer / karthik

24VDC is the driving voltage for the entire loop of the
transmitter. The loop consists of the supply, t/x and may be
some load resistance. The transmitter's min. working voltage
is around 12V. So t/x is bound to give a 4-20mA o/p based on
the range of the measured process variable if it has a
supply more than this min. value.

Primarily 24VDC is to drive the electronics associated with
the Primary sensing element present in the t/x.

Hi buddies! my name is sachin and i am working as a electrical and instrumentation engineer in a paper plant. right now i am facing a problem and if someone could help me it will be an immense pleasure to me. i am using AC 800M to synchronise DCS500 drives on paper machine and rewinder.communication is on PROFIBUS and we are using NPBA-01 module to link profibus to DC drives.But these days two of these drives are showing a error named FIELDBUS COMM.TIMED OUT and the drives get tripped.I have changed the NPBA module and PROFIBUS cable.So if anyone can do please help me out with this problem.I'll be highly grateful.
