Loop-powered transmitters have progressed from purely analog signal conditioners to highly flexible smart transmitters, but the chosen design approach still depends on a system’s performance, ...

In this installment of Weekly Boiler Tips we break down how a current simulator (current calibrator) helps boiler technicians troubleshoot systems.

Significant efficiency and performance improvements can be realized by improving the current loop’s power supplies, replacing linear regulators with high-efficiency buck regulators. It also increases ...

Tucson, Ariz. – A programmable 4- to 20-milliamp current loop transmitter from Texas Instruments Inc.'s BurrBrown product line provides for digital calibration of sensor and transmitter errors, thus ...

PID loops are a central component of modulating boiler control systems with applications ranging from basic steam header pressure control to cascading 3-element drum level control. A modern ...

Pressure transmitters used in the process industries are very durable and reliable instruments. Even so, they still require periodic maintenance and calibration to ensure optimal performance. This is ...

Temperature transmitters are employed to transmit a signal from a temperature sensor, such as a RTD or thermocouple, to a control or measurement device. These temperature transmitters amplify and ...

Precise configuration is simple with a convenient USB connection to a PC. Other features include an operating temperature range of -40 to 80 °C (32-176 ºF), electrical noise immunity, and surge ...
