Signal Transmission - Standards
Standards used for signal transmission from sensor to controller in industrial processes:
Pneumatic pressure | 3 - 15 psig, 20 - 100 kPa |
Voltage | 0 - 10 V (or 0 - 5 V) |
Electric current (direct current) | 4 - 20 mA |
More and more sensor to/from controller transmission are now done with "smart" equipmement and wire/wireless data communication.
