The Yocto-4-20mA-Rx device will let you read via USB the instant value returned by any industrial sensor following the 4-20mA standard, as well as record the measures on its internal flash for later retrieval when connected again by USB. The device can automatically map the current reading to a physical measure by applying a proportional rule. The module features two inputs, to connect two independent sensors. 

You can find sensors for all kind of physical measures using the standard 4-20mA interface. Transmitting the measure using a 4-20mA current loop makes it possible to get a very precise reading (up to 0.01%), and works even when the sensor is far away from the interface module (several thousands of meters of cable away). 

The Yocto-4-20mA-Rx support 2-wires sensors (powered from the current loop) as well as 3-wires sensors (that require an additional power supply with shared ground) and 4-wires sensors (with an isolated power supply). It can even provide up to 80mA to power 3-wires sensors that do not require to much power. The supply voltage is regulated 23V, isolated from the USB bus but common to both inputs.
