Answer / anshul jaiswal
if we use 0-20 mA scale for 0-100%,then 0% will be read in two cases;1)when instrument has any kind of damage problem(not responding case)& 2)for the ground level reading.so we use 4-20mA which shows 4mA for 0%(ground level) & 20mA for 100%(full value) and 0mA shows that instrument has any damage problem.And guyz,in the range of 4-20mA the calibration shows linear characterstic too.

Answer / ramali
current output is 4-20 mA.
Let take a transmitter operating range is 0-100%
in this case, 0% is only 4 mA,100%is 20 mA.
Because the transmitter have no power,then its output is
0mA.That means zero , live zero.
zero means there is no process is done.
live zero is transmitter have no power,etc.,

Answer / p.v.srikumar
because if use 0 -20 mA as 0-100% there is any signal cable
damage or cable open it will show only 0%. if use 4-20mA as
0-100% it will show bad process value(live zero).

Coriolis flow meter coil supply is 24vdc but why still we given 230ac for this transmitter let me explained detailed review please
yokogawa Temperature transmitter showing Error 15 which is Reverse Cal Fail (confirmation calculation result is bad) in manual they mentioned reasion That the output goes to the value set by hardware failure mode jumper. How can solve this problem ? anybody can say solution
