Hi Roberto,

 

An industrial standard for converting 4-20mA is to use a precision 250 ohm
resistor in series with the circuit.  This provides a 1-5VDC voltage drop
across the resistor which is proportional to 4-20mA.  250 ohm resistors are
expensive so I generally use 4 x 1k resistors in parallel.

 

The industry uses a 4-20mA signal as it can typically be transmitted >2 klm
over a twisted pair cable and is not influenced by the resistance of the
signal wire.

 

Regards

 

Rob

ok paul, i will check some devices too, maxim have samples for it :D hehehe

Look at http://owfs.org/index.php?page=voltage-measurement -- a table of the
voltage ranges for the different 1-wire slaves.

 

Current you read as voltage across a known (low) resistor.

hi guys, another question....
how could i read industrial values?

0-20mA
4-20mA
0-10V
1-10V
