2011-10-19 Thread Robert Conway
Hi Roberto, An industrial standard for converting 4-20mA is to use a precision 250 ohm resistor in series with the circuit. This provides a 1-5VDC voltage drop across the resistor which is proportional to 4-20mA. 250 ohm resistors are expensive so I generally use 4 x 1k resistors in parallel.
