Connection of Current Sensors as Two-Wire and Four-Wire Transducers
Figures 13-16 and 13-17 show you how to connect current sensors as two-wire
and four-wire transducers to analog input modules.
The 24 V voltage is supplied to the two-wire transducer via a protected output (L1
+
,
L2
+
). The two-wire transducer converts the measured variable to a current of 4 to
20 mA. The range 4 to 20 mA is converted to the required format by a software
driver function.
Four-wire transducers have a separate supply voltage.
