BS 5863-2:1980

This standard BS 5863-2:1980 Analogue signals for process control systems is classified in these ICS categories:

• 25.040.40 Industrial process measurement and control

This standard specifies analogue direct voltage signals used in industrial process measurement and control systems to transmit information between the elements of systems.

Contrary to the analogue direct current signal as specified in IEC Publication 381, Analogue D.C. Current Signals for Process Control Systems, the analogue direct voltage signal is not intended for transmission over long distances.

This standard does not apply to signals used entirely within an element.

Specifies analogue direct voltage signals used in industrial process measurement and control systems to transmit information between the elements of systems. Does not apply to signals used entirely within an element.
