Hi All,
Any Analog experts out there,?I'd be grateful for their opinion. Just wondering if anyone has ever experienced the problem described...
We have a 4-20mA output giving random consistent spikes of 8mA. All other times, due to its scale is around 4-5mA and no more. This output is from a controller to a BMS. These spike do not reflect the readings if you convert the mA to the 'scale'. We disconnected the BMS cable and put a Eurotherm data logger directly into the output > still the spikes...The only (last) thing we can think of, is there is a relay output on the same card and wondering if this may be causing 'noise' when the relay is switching, causing spikes. The manufacture is wiping their hands saying it's our problem?
Appreciate any feedback
