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

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

why dont use 1 to 10VDC to avoid 0V

thank you

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?

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.

great video. THANK YOU

Thank you once again Tim

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.

Your channel is great. Really solid content.

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!

Who would run awg22 wire 100 feet ?

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?

Very concise and clear explanation. Thanks!

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

Right on the money!

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 ?

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?

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

Excellent - thanks.

100 mv signals can be transmitted by wire long?

Awesome explanation as always Tim :-)

learned something new today thanks again

thank you Tim

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

Great point, well done.

The video was very helpful, thanks

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

Great ❤️❤️

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

Are you going to cover PID loops?

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

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