The relationship between output voltage and input current in channel 1,2
In theory, their relationship can be described into this formula:
Vout1 = R1 * Iin1 * 2
Vout2 = R2 * Iin2 * 2
R1=R2=100ohm
Note: error ±2% in practical test.
Instruction
- 1. Upload the demo File:4_20mA_demo.zip into Iteaduino UNO
- 2. Connect the sensor brick and UNO as following picture. S1->A4 and S2->A5.
- 3. Measure current loop
- When access in type2,3 loop current, please connect JP1 or JP2, both 1In- and 2In- is equal to connecting ground, 1In+ and 2In+ are connected with the current pins to be measured.
- When access in type4 loop current, connect the input end to 1In+ or 2In+, the output end to 1In- or 2In-, and unplug JP1 or JP2 simultaneously.
