If a 4 wire instrument is connected to an Analogue Input channel of a DCS system will the signal need a signal isolator.
the AI module at the DCS is powered by 24V derived from a power supply in the panel. The instrument is powered by 110 VAC and generated the 4-20mA signal that is connected back to the DCS. As the 0 volt reference is generated from 2 different sources can the signal be read correctly or is there likely to be interference as the grounds are different?
