Choosing the right analog output can make a big difference in how reliably your sensor communicates with your control system.
In this video, we compare three common industrial sensor output signals: 0–10V, ±10V, and 4–20 mA. We explain how each signal works, where each is commonly used, and the advantages and limitations to consider when selecting an output for your application.
Learn why 0–10V is a simple and widely supported choice, how ±10V provides bidirectional measurement around a center point, and why 4–20 mA is often preferred for long cable runs and electrically noisy industrial environments.
We’ll also cover system compatibility, electrical noise, voltage drop, cable length, and the fault-detection advantages of a 4–20 mA current loop.
