Wiring a process instrument is quite hectic. Because, before you wire it you
should know whether the transmitter is 2-wire, 3 wire or 4-wire. Also, the
internal wiring of PLC analog input depends on the type of transmitter wiring.

Also, it is one of the most important selection criteria for process instruments
as well.

So in this article, I would tell you the difference between 2 wire 3wire and 4
wire transmitters wiring types along with their pros and cons.


2-WIRE TRANSMITTER

This is one of the simplest wiring types as it only has two wires. In this
configuration supply power and 4-20 mA signal uses two-wire loop connections.
Either the transmitter or the receiver would provide the power supply to the
loop. However, a separate power supply is also available as an option.



Pros
 * Low power consumption.
 * Uses only two wire loops.
 * Separate power supply can be eliminated as either transmitter or receiver can
   supply the power to the loop.
 * Less cost as compared to 3-wire and 4-wire.

Cons
 * The configuration is not suitable for power hungry transmitters or those
   require more power for their operations like gas analyzer, refract meters,
   flow meters, etc.


3-WIRE TRANSMITTER

The transmitter and receiver share common 0 V DC lines. 4-20 mA is supplied by
the transmitter to the PLC module. 3rd wire is used to connect common 0 V DC.



Pros
 * Low cost than 4-wire.
 * Easier to wire as compared to 4-wire.

Cons
 * This configuration may generate spurious alarms due to electrical
   interference.
 * Very confusing to wire.


4-WIRE TRANSMITTER

The transmitter uses a separate 24 DC power supply. The 4-20 mA flows through
two separate cables.



Pros
 * This configuration helps in eliminating the problem of electrical
   interference thus reducing the risk of spurious alarms.
 * It can supply power efficiently to relays and LEDs.
 * Power isolation from IO modules is possible.

Cons
 * Requires additional cable cores.
 * Requires a separate power supply for transmitter and controller.
 * More wiring requirements.
