Anybody know how to fix this:
I have a 4-20mA analog output from a VFD going into a non-isolated analog input card (AB 1756-IF16). The VFD unit is powered by 208V buy supplies 24V for the output. The analog input card is also 24V but is powered by a separate 24V power supply.
The card can't read the output from the VFD. I believe the problem is that both devices are trying to power the 4-20 mA signal. Since they are not both supplied by the same source I don't believe I can wire it like a 3-wire transmitter. Anybody know how can I make these two devices work together?
