The DL205 base has a switching type power supply. As a result of switching noise, ±3–5
counts of instability may be noticed in the analog input data if the base power supply is used.
If this is unacceptable, try one of the following:
•
1. Use a separate linear power supply.
•
2. Connect the 24VDC common to the frame ground, which is the screw terminal marked “G”
on the base.
When using these methods, the input stability is rated at ±1 count.
Current Loop Transmitter Impedance
Standard 4–20 mA transmitters and transducers can operate from a wide variety of power
supplies. Not all transmitters are alike and the manufacturers often specify a minimum loop
or load resistance that must be used with the transmitter.
The F2-4AD2DA provides 250 ohm resistance for each input channel. If the transmitter
being used requires a load resistance below 250 ohms, adjustments do not have to be made.
However, if the transmitter requires a load resistance higher than 250 ohms, add a resistor in
series with the module.
Consider the following example for a transmitter being operated from a 30VDC supply with
a recommended load resistance of 750 ohms. Since the module has a 250 ohm resistor, add
an additional resistor.
