3.2.4 - Wiring of Actuator mA Loop Transmitter
3.0 - Electrical Installation, cont.
To comply with EMC (Electro Magnetic Compatibility) standards, the wiring must be placed in the conduit (must be connected to earth
ground) and shielded twisted pair cable (0.25mm
2
) should be used.
Depending on the type of input available on the controller (PLC), i.e.; isolated mA Loop input (isolated from earth potential Figure 3.4) or
non-isolated input (referenced to earth ground) and if a loop supply is available, different wiring schemes are feasible. See Figures 3.4 - 3.6.
Due to this arrangement the loop input is no
longer isolated which requires the input on
the controller to be isolated!

24VDC supply from the actuator by means of a wire link.
