    pressure transducer to interface with PLC

    Roy, Thank you very much for the link. I will get one. To answer your questions: - I am not sure whether it is a strain gauge, but what I know is that it is a pressure transducer that runs on a 10 VDC with an output of 3mV/V. - The tranducer is located 10 feet from the I/O rack. Thank you.

    pressure transducer to interface with PLC

    Thanks Dan and Roy for your valuable inputs. So now I am thinking of two options: either an amplifier to work with this mV output transducer (running with 10 VDC supply)or a volt/mA output transmitter that I can connect directly to the PLC input card. My only concern with the volt/mA output...

    pressure transducer to interface with PLC

    Could someone help me with this? I have a pressure transducer that outputs 30 mV max. How can I connect it to an AB PLC input card set up for 0 - 5V? Thanks in advance.
