Signals & Electrical
0-10 V
A simple voltage-based analogue measurement signal.
IN ONE SENTENCE
The measurement is represented by a voltage between 0 and 10 volts.
In normal English
A sensor or controller changes its output voltage in proportion to the measurement. It is common in control systems, drives and building automation, especially over shorter cable runs.
Why would I use it?
Use it when the receiving equipment has a voltage input and the installation suits voltage signalling.
THINK OF IT LIKE…
Like turning a dimmer from 0 to 10 to represent how much you are measuring.
