Connecting current sensors as two- and four-wire measuring transducers
The supply voltage is fed to the two-wire measuring transducer and is inherently
short circuit-proof. The two-wire measuring transducer then converts the fed
measured value into a current. Four-wire measuring transducers have a separate
supply voltage connection.
The two-wire measuring transducers must be insulated measuring sensors.
The figure below shows how current sensors are connected as two-wire measuring
transducers to an EM 144 AI 2 I expansion module (4 to 20 mA).
