Designing the Loop

Installation
The DewPro system includes electronic components that
are susceptible to damage by static electricity. Use proper
handling procedures during the removal, installation, or
other handling of internal boards or devices.
Note: If the DewPro is equipped with an optional display/user
interface, please refer to Chapter 4.
Figure 2-3 below illustrates various power supplies and displays for
use with the DewPro MMY31.

When selecting a power supply, please note that the voltage at the +/-
terminal of the DewPro should not fall below 12 VDC. The maximum
loop resistance is an important measure for selection of the supply
voltage. Each device connected to the loop causes a voltage drop. For
instance, using a loop-powered display with an input impedance of
Ω
50 will cause a voltage drop of 1 VDC at 20 mA, using Ohm's law.
Connecting the loop to a PLC will cause a voltage drop across the
input.
When designing your loop, add up all voltage losses across the
devices connected to the loop and add 12 V. The sum will be the
minimum supply voltage required from the power supply. Calculate
with a 20% safety factor.
