The 4-20 mA current loop has been the standard for signal transmission and electronic control in control systems since the 1950's. The current loop is a common method of transmitting sensor information in many industrial process monitoring applications—typically in...

Convert 4-20 mA to 0-10 V using a resistor
All iSMA Universal Inputs cannot read a 4-20mA signal directly, so to read a 4-20mA sensor, you will find in the box of every iSMA device (with Universal Inputs) a set of 200 Ohm resistors. It is extremely simple to measure a 0-20 mA analogue signal from a sensor with...

Free Building Management System Software Tools
Often the controls manufacturers provide you with all the tools required to get the job done, but there are certain situations where you need to use 3rd party software or websites for certain tasks. I have a go-to set of trusted software solutions that I use time and...
BMS Engineers Bonus Carry Items
Here are 5 items that I hate going without when commissioning any project. These aren't your typical items, like screwdrivers and multimeters; they are bonus items that make your day much easier, but they wouldn’t be a showstopper if you didn’t have them. All these...
BMS inputs & outputs
This is BMS 101. If you can clearly identify your inputs and outputs, then you are going in the right direction. A key thing to understand in the world of BMS is the difference between inputs and outputs, often referred to as IO. Most of you will probably be thinking...
Modbus Basics for Building Management Systems
I am not an expert on the Modbus protocol, and many of the more technical aspects go over my head. Having said that, when using Modbus in the field, the finer, more technical details of the protocol are not necessarily worth knowing. I need to know what I am looking...
