i have a GE fanuc 23 point versa max with 2 inbuilt analogue inputs,
the problem i am facing is an unstable reading, i am using a 4-20 mA danfoss MBS 3100 pressure transducer.
now i have tried all the shielding and grounding that is possble and all the possible combinations, i have also tried to connecting a capacitor and inductor to help me with the unstablity, but this was all in vain.
my values keep fluctuating between, 0,8,16 out of 32767 at atmospheric pressure. the fluctations are also present at higher pressure, they remain in the range of 0-24
now after 2 days of fiddling around with the PLC, i have found half a solution.
there are 2 analgue channels in this PLC, and 3 terminals for each channel(IN+,IN-, INJP)the IN+ is connected to INJP by a jumper when taking current input.
the fluctations stopped and the transducer was working perfectly when i connected the INJP1 to INJP2(second analogue channel(this channel was not in use)), sadly i cant do this as ill be connecting two transducers to both my analogue inputs,
so my question is what do i do, how do solve this?
and why did the fluctations stop when i connected the INJP1 terminal to the INJP2 via a jumper cable?
please help, deperately looking for any kind of help
