Compare and contrast smart and standard temperature transmitters.

What will be an ideal response?


Standard temperature transmitters generally send a 4 to 20 milliampere signal to indicate the temperature. They are calibrated for a specific range of temperature such as 0 to 100 degrees. Standard transmitters are designed to operate with one type of sensor such as RTD, thermocouple, and so on. Any changes to the setting require a recalibration of the unit. Smart transmitters contain an internal microprocessor and can be calibrated from the control room by sending a signal to the transmitter. It is also possible to check the transmitter for problems from a remote location.
