Signal clamping in pressure transmitters

In certain applications, the existing or voltage signal of a pressure transmitter should never exceed and/or drop below a crucial value. This could be ensured using so-called signal limiting.
Why is a signal clamping necessary to begin with?
If the pressure on a pressure transmitter lies within the nominal pressure range, then you will have a precise signal output (e.g. 4 ? 20 mA or 0 ? 10 V). However, in technical applications, it frequently happens an originally planned pressure range is exceeded or is dropped below. ไดอะแฟรม can happen deliberately, for instance when cleaning, and accidentally, for example through load variations or in case of a fault. In such cases, the sensor signal may also move beyond your defined limits, so that, for example, an ongoing signal in the range of 3.6 to 25 mA can occur.
If now, however, the evaluation electronics are set so that they recognise a signal outside the defined limits as an error, in some situations, trouble-free operation of the entire system cannot be ensured anymore. In such cases, a signal limiting of the pressure transmitter is practical, so that the output signal is maintained within the required range (e.g. 3.8 ? 21 mA).
Note
เกจวัดแรงดัน of a pressure transmitter with that your voltage signal plus the current signal can be limited may be the model S-20 (for general industrial applications) or the model MH-3 (for mobile working machines) from WIKA.
