Hi we have a client with multiple 4-20mA outputs from one PLC. We have installed several 2 Channel Industrial IoT Long Range Wireless 4-20mA Current Receivers (https://store.ncd.io/product/2-channel-industrial-iot-long-range-wireless-4-20ma-current-receiver/) that communicate well with the
Enterprise IIoT Gateway (https://store.ncd.io/product/enterprise-iiot-gateway/) at this site. They have now directed us to other PLCs that have upwards of 6-8 separate 4-20mA outputs and were hoping to integrate more of these signals into this project. To avoid installing many 2 Channel 4-20mA Current Receivers (multiple pieces of hardware), are we able to use theis Wireless 4-20mA 4-Channel Input endNode (https://store.ncd.io/product/wireless-4-20ma-4-channel-input-endnode/)? We do have access to power from the PLCs. Beyond this 4 Channel, are we able to custom order even more channels on one endNode/Current receiver? Thanks
Dave i don’t claim to see future but i knew you might need a 4 channel 4-20mA
so we made one for you. this one works just like two channels 4 -20mA but has 4 channels.
while placing order mention this in order notes " build with 4 M12 connectors"
Hello, we received these sensors (thank you!), but are getting some weird battery drain issues within a day of running them.
We are sampling these sensors every 1 minute. They will be wired to 12 V soon, but in the interim, just wondering if we would expect such a quick drain on battery?
Thank you,
This 4 channel is not optimized for battery. We recommend powering by external power.
Thank you for the update!
