How the transmitter works
● The sensor supplies an electrical signal
● This signal is converted to a digital signal in an analog-to-digital converter
● The digital signal is evaluated in a secondary-side microcontroller
● The digital signal is transferred to the primary-side microcontroller
● The analog output valve is calculated in the primary-side microcontroller
● The digital-to-analog converter
● The source of auxiliary power supply is located in the output signal circuit.
