4-20mA Current Signal Generator – Adjustable Simulation Transmitter Module
Product Description
The 4-20mA Current Signal Generator Module is an adjustable analog signal simulator designed for testing, calibration, and troubleshooting industrial control systems. It generates an adjustable current signal from 0 to 20.00mA, making it useful for simulating transmitter outputs and testing devices that accept current-loop signals.
The module features a 4-digit digital display and an encoder knob for adjusting the output. It also includes a soft start/stop function for stable output changes and built-in short-circuit protection. The module uses active wiring and is suitable for applications involving PLCs, inverters, servo systems, valves, and other industrial control equipment.

How It Works
The module is powered by a 15–28V DC supply, with 24V DC recommended. The encoder knob is then used to adjust the generated current signal. The output can be connected to a compatible PLC, inverter, servo controller, valve, meter, or other device that accepts an analog current signal.
Important: Although the product title refers to 4-20mA, the listed specification for this particular module states an adjustable output range of 0-20.00mA. Therefore, it can be adjusted within the 4-20mA range when required, but it is not limited to 4-20mA.
