Dear Friends
We have a few Hartmann&Braun DP Transmitters with 0...20ma output, but our control system need 4...20ma signal. Is there any way to convert 0...20ma to 4...20ma ?
Yours Faithfully

The simplest way is to use an interface converter, available from a variety of companies. We use Phoenix contact & have good results with their equipment

You could use the following "0-5DVC to 4-20mA converter" with a 250ohm resistor across the input (to convert the 0-20mA to 0-5V):

Go to the Voltage (VDX) link near the bottom or just download this manual.

You would have to supply this converter with 24VDC power.

There are quite a few companies who make signal converter modules for exactly this application. These are normally small DIN rail mount devices.
Try Phoenix, Entrelec, Wiedmuller, Wieland, Action Instruments, etc.
