Hi,
In maintenance area of work, similar problem may offer you a good opportunity to think of a solution of your own.
4-20ma signal is one of the common languages among instrumentation devices, and making one Tx. To talk to more than one Rx requires special arrangements as it is a current loop. In our case we are using Signal Repeater or splitter which in simple: One signal in and two or more signals out, all of 4-20 mA.
I’m thinking of using my humble knoledge about PIC, with a lot of ETO Pros., to do this project, so I can decide, myself, how many outputs.
For simplicity I’ll make all of them analog, avoiding the need of converting the values into digital in case of LCD output type.
So, my questions are:
Is this project is possible using PIC ?
Which PIC best to choose for this project?
Thanks
