VIDEO: How to Ensure the Integrity of Your Loop Wiring

The integrity of the electrical loop from the transmitter to the host system is critical for communicating process information from the field. In the video below, I discuss how Emerson transmitters provide loop diagnostic coverage to help detect conditions that may jeopardize your operations.

  • Diagnosing failure in the 4-20 mA loop should be a requirement for every 4-20 mA circuit, and integrity check to know the signal is not being affected by ground loop current or increased resistance due to corrosion which may develop over time. Particularly for safety functions. Alternatively use digital signal transmission with error checking.
