A legacy loop I am working on has a P+F active I.S barrier that has one 4/20 ma hazardous area input and a split into two outputs for feeding into two separate receivers. However the input actually coming in is from a Non I.S transmitter. So the barrier is just used as a signal splitter.
I have a slight concern that active I.S isolators may not be suitable for use with non I.S transmitters because of their sensitivity to the loop's inductances and capacitances especially on loops with fast process variable changes - like those in flow loops. Thus signal quality may be affected even if slightly.
Any informed opinions out there?
