Overview

Description

The 4mA to 20mA current loop is the dominant standard for sensor systems in many industries, primarily because it is the simplest option to configure and connect. It also uses less wiring and connections than other signals, therefore reducing overall system cost. In addition, in large locations, it is better for traveling long distances, since current doesn't degrade like voltage does. Resistant to surrounding noise, this board design uses a standard 4mA to 20mA loop making it perfect to transmit data over large distances in industrial environments.

Features

  • Simple and accurate readings on a 4mA to 20mA loop
  • 7-segment LCD display for low power
  • System can run off loop power or separate power
  • Pmod™ for optional wireless connectivity
