Question on Profibus Transmitter

Girish

Hello,

Is it possible to use a field Transmitter which supports Profibus-PA, just like an ordinary 2 Wire Transmitter (Delivering 4 to 20mA to the
Analog Input Channel of the DCS)?

Thanks in advance,
Girish

Hi!

I would say normally not, but such 'added feature' would clearly be vendor/product specific.

Dear Girish,

Yes and No,It's depend on the module inside the fieldtransmitter. If it's design only for DP and no other output, than you have to replace the module with a normal module which provides 4-20 mA.(This was the No part). Some modules have also an 4-20mA output besides the DP output.So you can use that output.

Met vriendelijke groeten,
