4-20mA Isolators Temperature Transmitters

& Splitters Resource Finder:
A temperature transmitter is an electical instrument that
interfaces a temperature sensor (e.g. thermocouple, Application Notes
RTD, or thermistor) to a measurement or control device and Technical Briefs
(e.g. PLC, DCS, PC, loop controller, data logger,
display, recorder, etc.). Typically, temperature
transmitters isolate, amplify, filter noise, linearize, and Videos
convert the input signal from the sensor then send
(transmit) a standardized output signal to the control Catalog
device. Common electrical output signals used in
manufacturing plants are 4-20mA or 0-10V DC ranges. White Papers
For example, 4mA could represent 0C and 20mA
means 100C. Request more information
about Temperature Transmitters Software and
Temperature Transmitter Inputs Firmware

A thermocouple sensor is a pair of FAQs and

dissimilar metal wires joined at one end. The junction Knowledge base
produces a low level voltage proportional to the
difference in temperature between the open and closed
ends.

An RTD or Resistance Temperature Detector is a

passive circuit element whose resistance increases
with increasing temperature in a predictable manner.
