ANALOG DATA IN METER AND IN PLC
Sir,
I am having a Transmitter that is used in a dehydration machine for obtaining Temperature and Water activity. A sensor having 2 analog outputs with 4-20 mA configuration. Also, transmitter analog output is using 3 wire technology. The outputs are connected to a Meter to display the actual value and it showing correctly the data. But now we need to collect the data to the PLC for some analysis purposes along with displaying it in the meter also.
We are using PM554 ETH PLC and AI561 Analog Card. I don't know how to wire it as we require Data in Both Meter and in our IO Card also. Kindly advise me on the wiring of it. I have attached the Wiring done up to the Meter and we are getting the data here. Kindly give advice in connection should be made in the IO Card

Hi,
In the wiring diagram attached, I see that there are two Analog Outputs which could be configured to retransmit the AI signals. Please go through the manual of the meter once to verify whether this method is possible.
In case it it not possible, then you will have to use a 3rd party signal duplication module (one input and two outputs duplicating the input) for each of the two analog signals from the transmitter.
