why 4-20 mA signal is preferred over a 0-10V signal

Answer Posted / shahaji shelke

To troubleshoot the loop or transmission signals,if voltage
signals is used it is difficult to troubleshoot due to it's
non linear properties as well as it's voltage drop within
the transmission,but due to linear current properties it is
easy to troubleshoot the transmission signal or 4-20 mA
signal.
Due to this the 4-20 mA is used in signal transmission.

We Have Two Field bus Pressure Transmitters of Different Sensor Range (I.E One is of Lower range and Another is of Higher Range).Is same Process Line. My Question is Can i provide Saturation Limit to my field Bus Transmitter as We can provide Saturation current limit to HART Instruments. As During Low Pressure Both Working OK ,But During High Pressure, transmitter with Lower sensor range Goes to Fault mode as Beyond its Sensor Limit it can Measure, So may I provide Saturation point Some where to Suppress This Fault during High Pressure.
