Hi All,
I have 4 PDIT (HART) transmitter attached to 1756-IF16 AI card as single ended float.
The PDIT (Rosemount 3051CD) is ranged from -1 to 1 (re-scaled from -3 to 3) in of H2O and generally reading around 0.0023 inh of H2O in operating conditions and the customer require it upto 3 decimal.
here is what is happening.
I have my fluke meter in series. I scaled the channel to read 4-20 engineer units to mimic 4-20mA readings.
Using the Hart communicator, I can see that the PDIT is reading 11.546mA (-0.0566 in. H2O), my meter reads 11.548 mA and PLC reads 11.987mA (-0.055 in.H20) and there is similar trend on all 4 PDIT.
However, When I disconnect the transmitter and use my meter as a simulator, if i force 11.548mA, i read 11.548 mA in my PLC.
so not sure why i am seeing the difference in mA signal when the transmitter is connected.
Would appreciate any input and solution to get over it.
Thank you.
