Example 1: Connecting a transducer to the electrical circuit
In accordance with the technical data of the 2-wire transducer used, it requires a supply
voltage (U
min
) of at least 8.5 V. Using Ohm's Law, you can calculate the resistance of the
transducer used (R
2DMU
) for a current of 20 mA.
With a supply voltage of at least 8.5 V, the transducer has a resistance of 425 Ω. The
resistance is less than 820 Ω. You can therefore connect the transducer to the analog input
module (AI) without exceeding the maximum burden.
