PV380/Fuel Level Sensor

Hello,

Our customer wants to use a fuel level sensor which has 4-20 mA outputs with the PV380.
Is it possible to apply the sensor (4-20mA) with the PV380?

If yes, please kindly advise which port of the PV380 can be used for the fuel sensing.

Thank you,
tshiii

The best answer is to use the PV380-R2 that includes both 0-5V and 4-20mA on the 3 analog inputs. The original PV380 version only has 0-5V analog inputs. The original PV380 0-5V analog inputs can be used with a 4-20 mA input that has a resistor to ground. A 250 Ohm resistor would span the range 1V to 5V. A smaller 220 Ohm resistor can also be used so that overcurrent can be detected. Again, the best answer is to use the PV380-R2 that has the 4-20mA analog inputs.

Hello,

I set the Analog input 1 (by PowerVision 2.8) for the 4-20 mA output of fuel sensor.
When the sensor was connected to the pin 4 (Analog Input 1) of the PV380-R2, "-999%" was shown on the screen.
Please find attached.

Could you advise what could be a problem, configuration side or sensor connection side?

Thank you

Could you send me your configuration file in a Private Message? The test engineer would like to see the IO Definition for your 4-20mA Fuel Level.

I sent the configuration to you by a Private Message.

Please kindly check it.

Thank you
