Signal clamping in pressure transmitters

In certain applications, the existing or voltage signal of a pressure transmitter should never exceed and/or drop below a critical value. This could be ensured using so-called signal limiting.
Why is a sign clamping necessary to begin with?
If the pressure on a pressure transmitter lies within the nominal pressure range, then you will see a precise signal output (e.g. 4 ? 20 mA or 0 ? 10 V). However, in technical applications, it frequently happens that an originally planned pressure range is exceeded or is dropped below. This can happen deliberately, for instance when cleaning, in addition to accidentally, for instance through load variations or in case of a fault. In เกจวัดแรงลม , the sensor signal may also move beyond your defined limits, so that, for example, an ongoing signal in the range of 3.6 to 25 mA may appear.
If now, however, the evaluation electronics are set so that they recognise a signal outside the defined limits as an error, in a few situations, trouble-free operation of the entire system cannot be ensured anymore. In these cases, a sign limiting of the pressure transmitter is practical, in order that the output signal is maintained within the mandatory range (e.g. 3.8 ? 21 mA).
Note
A good example of a pressure transmitter with which the voltage signal plus the current signal can be limited is the model S-20 (for general industrial applications) or the model MH-3 (for mobile working machines) from WIKA.
