2. Connection
The BRAIN communication signal is superimposed
onto the 4 to 20 mA DC analog signal. Since
the modulated wave is a communication signal,
superimposing it on the normal signal will,
from basic principles, cause no error in the DC
component of the analog signal. Thus, monitoring
can be performed via the BT200 while the
transmitter is on-line.
2.1 Connecting the BT200
Connection to the transmitter with the BT200
can be made by either connecting to the BT200
connection hooks in the transmitter terminal box or
by connecting to a relaying terminal or a terminal
board.
