How can I design a system that would allow me to put multiple receivers on a single 4-20mA current loop? Assume that I have design control over only one of the receivers.

Sensor:

  • Loop powered (2-wire)
  • Supply voltage: 12-28VDC
  • Max Load: 250 Ohms @ 12VDC (500 Ohms @ 24VDC)

Current Receiver Design:

  • 250 Ohm resistor to ground
  • Loop power supply ground is connected to ADC ground
