I am looking for a simple circuit to simulate sensor inputs to PLC. Sensors take 12VDC and outputs 4-20mA. I was looking at your XTR series devices which seems to be able to achieve this but I am not sure which one will be ok to use for 12VDC voltage. Also, it would be good to have the range of output from 0 to 24mA rather than 4-20mA so that we c

an test the PLC input for error inputs as well. In particular, the XTR117 could be of interest for you, it includes its own linear regulator, and the input current could be generated using the Regulated 5V output in series with a potentiomenter to control the current output value. Thanks for the help Albert! You`re correct that the XTR117 is likely the best candidate for this type of simple circuit to simulate a 2-wire current loop transmitter. I have seen couple of answers given previously with circuit diagram and components to suit the requirement. Is it possible to get a schematic and calculations If not I have a circuit calculation for XTR116 which was previously posted so I can work with it. Ifound a XTR116 in lab at my work but XTR117 is not available so I will have to buy it. For my application, if I use XTR116 rather than XTR117 then do I miss out on anything do I need to keep anything else in mind when using XTR116 instead of your suggested XTR117 I have attached files that I found from one of the other questions on ti. com The XTR116 actually has more features than the XTR117, not less. The XTR116 includes everything that the XTR117 includes with the addition of a more precise reference voltage of 4. 096V. The XTR115 is a similar product with a 2. 5V precision reference. Both the XTR117 and XTR116 are fairly easy products to use and full applications diagrams are included in the datasheet. Figure 1 describes a...
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
