Question { 10687 }

Why 4-20mA SIGNAL IS PREFERRED OVEA A 0-10v signal?


Answer

We can use 0-10 volt also for signal. But while signal
transmission voltage drop will occur on lead wires. Also
voltage will have noise due to this we may loose signals at
receiving end. To overcome this we are using current
(4-20mA) for signals.

Question { 5504 }

What is the IEC Standard for PLC I/O Terminal wiring
Procedure?


Answer

If it is a 3-core cable then it should be wired like this,
For 24VDC,
Core 1 - 0/24VDC
Core 2 - 24VDC
Core 3 - Signals

For 230VAC,
Core 1 - 0/230VAC
Core 2 - 230VAC
Core 3 - Signals
Core 4 - PE

If it is a 2-core cable then it should be wired like this,
For 24VDC,
core 1 - Signals
Core 2 - 24VDC

Question { Tisco, 4969 }

what is thermo coupler and how it works


Answer

Thermocouple consists of two dissimilar metals connected at one end. When we heat that junction an emf will be introduced at other end and this induced emf is directly propotional to the metal temperature. There are different types of thermocouples available in market which are B, E, J, K, N, R, S and T type.
