5.3 Current Sink Connections
The PCI-1720 cards’ current loop output uses a 0 to +5 V (unipolar) volt-
age output as each channel’s driving source. Current drive circuits con-
sist of a power field-effect transistor (FET). The current output’s voltage
bias must be less then 50 V for accurate results. The card also provides
an in12 V power source for current loop excitation.
You can use three types of current sink connections:
1.
Grounded load with a floating power supply.
2.
Floating load with a grounded power supply.
3.
Floating load with an in12 V power supply.
These are shown in the following illustrations.
