Simulate a transmitter on an externally-powered loop
for a loop check
The Loop Diagnostics application can control current to simulate a 2-wire transmitter on
an externally-powered loop. In this setup, the digital control system is powering the
current loop and the Trex unit is controlling the current that is input into the digital control
system.
Procedure
1. Connect the lead set to the HART terminals on the Trex unit and to the powered
4-20 mA current loop.
