250 Ω Loop Resistor

Voltage across a 250 Ω HART / PLC current-loop resistor.

Voltage across a 250 Ω HART / PLC current-loop resistor.

App id: INST-11. Reference version 1.0.

How to fill it

Fill the inputs. The tool shows the outputs.

On the tool screen, Calc is the working sheet. Presets stores values you reuse. Reference is the formula, assumptions, and provenance below.

Formula

V = I × 250 Ω

Inputs

NameUnit
Loop current (camera)mA

Outputs

NameUnit
Resistor voltage (hero result)V

Diagnose

This tool does not attach diagnose observations.

Assumptions

  • Fixed 250 Ω. Use loop burden if the resistor is a different value.

Provenance

  • Common 1–5 V conversion of a 4–20 mA loop.
