Guest megaposiedon Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 Hi guys,I have an application that requires a 4-20mA signal to drive a ItoP convertor that in turn drives a control valve.. I'm using Nation Instrument's Compact Field Point AIO610 which has only voltage output of range 0-10.2 Volts.Therefore I require a V to I Convertor to converter that converts 0-10V to corresponding 4-20mA. For this I'm using an IC - AD694 (Analog Devices) which is a precision V-I Convertor.AD694 DatasheetSo, here come the major problem. I used this IC and I'm getting 4mA for 0 volts but when I change the input voltage..The output current remains constant. Following are my connectionsPin 1 and Pin 2 ShortPin 3 - Voltage INPin 13 - 12V DC SupplyPin 11 - Current OutPin 5 and Pin 9 ShortI followed Figure 2 give in the data sheet for the connections. Though with unexpected output..What really intrigues me is the Pin 7. Should I supply a 10V to that Pin ?? or short it with Pin 8..I didnt find any other interfacing circuits on the internet. Can anyone figure out what went wrong with the connections ??I would be very much thankfulCheersPosiedon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
