why 4 to 20 ma used at 0 set..

Answer / tang

Because we want to know the "life zero".
Life zero is a condition where there's a signal when the process is at 0%. For an example if we use 0mA instead of 4mA, we might don't know either the process is really 0% or the measuring unit is faulty(that will also indicate 0mA).

We have a Yokogawa Micro-XL DCS, which is having around 300 I/O, but whenever there is any wire gets grounded in field, the 24v supply to all loops gets dipped & all the indications at DCS goes to IOP(shows input open), at present we have fixed 500mA fuses in all the lines but which does not working. Does it required to replace with lower amps fuse, then how much or is there any other solution for this.
