Should I used 0-10VDC and 4-20mA Analog Signals?

Tim where do I buy one of those analog simulators? It looks like a nice tool to have for troubleshooting.

0-10VDC isnt 0-10v its usually 2-10VDC to detect disconnects but yes they both have pros and cons

Are you going to cover PID loops?

Nice comparison of both choices and why to use one over the other!

Great ❤️❤️

My nigga every.time I have a question you have a video I don't regret buying your plc training at 800 thank you Sensei

The video was very helpful, thanks

Great point, well done.

Thanks a lot!!! what could we do with an control loop of the engine governor? what`s the difference in this case?

thank you Tim

learned something new today thanks again

Awesome explanation as always Tim :-)

100 mv signals can be transmitted by wire long?

Excellent - thanks.

Can you link me that voltage drop calculator Tim that was a nice one always good videos from you

I have a 0-10v output signal from a loadcell amplier to PLC. Can I wire a parallel connection from this to a digital panel meter in order to display it near the loadcell amplifier?

What is the difference between the range 0-5 v and 0-10 v ? some times we have both on input module types , when to use this or that ?

Right on the money!

Ok im pretty new to this kind of stuff, how do u generate 4-20mA from a PLC instead of voltage output?

Very concise and clear explanation. Thanks!

Tim maybe you can help me here.
I’m trying to drive an actuator (0(2)-10vdc or 4-20 ma) with an Arduino.
Since the Arduino pin can only put out 5 volts I’m using the 4-20 ma input on the actuator.
I’m using a 250 ohm resistor and can produce a 4-20 ma signal but my stroke on the actuator isn’t no where near fully open.

Is this because (my guess anyway) that even though the input is a 4-20 ma it has to be based off of at least a 10v source for this actuator?

Or is 4-20ma in controls 4-20 no matter what?

Who would run awg22 wire 100 feet ?

My mentor has us using your 4-20ma simulator all the time. It reeeeeally helps me get a grasp of things as we use it on heating controls! You're a legend!

Your channel is great. Really solid content.

Hi I have watched some of your videos and they are very well done. I am not an engeneer but I am trying to make a device that is feed by:
1. In 110V 2. Out: 0-60V - 0-35mA. (with a knob to control the voltage and if is possible the mA as well. I want to use it as a intophoresis device. Can you help me out with the project? If there is a price for it, please let me know. Thanks.

Thank you once again Tim

great video. THANK YOU

Great video explaining it. The best part is how does the PLC or meter read that 4-20 signal? By measuring the voltage drop across a precision resistor on the input! I used to know the resistor values off the top of my head for 0-1V, and 0-10V but it's been a long time.

I have a question. I am trying to install a digital display meter that will be commanded by a 0-10VDC analog signal. Simply extending from control cabinet to outside of control room so truck drivers can watch a readout. Any suggestions on where I can get a LARGE weatherproof analog 0-10VDC readout?

thank you

why dont use 1 to 10VDC to avoid 0V

How do you program a 4-20mA input using CCW .
