Comprehensive Guide to Transmitters in Process Control Instruments

Pressure Transmitter /

Introduction Process control instruments consist of three primary hardware components: the measurement and transmission unit, the actuator, and the controller. The measurement and transmission unit, commonly known as the transmitter, serves as the link between the sensor and the control system. In some cases, the transmitter and the sensor are integrated into a single device. […]

Conditions for Implementing a Two-Wire Transmitter System

Pressure Transmitter /

In industrial settings, it is often necessary to measure various non-electrical physical quantities, such as pressure, liquid level, temperature, differential pressure, humidity, soil moisture, and more. To transmit these physical quantities to a control room or display device, which could be hundreds of meters away, they need to be converted into standard analog electrical signals.
