Messumformer

A Messumformer, also commonly called a measuring transducer, is an electrical device that converts a physical measurement into a standardized electrical output signal suitable for monitoring, recording, or control systems. It combines a sensing element with signal conditioning electronics and often provides galvanic isolation between the measured quantity and the output signal.

Common outputs are analog currents or voltages, most notably 4-20 mA current loops and 0-10 V voltage

Messumformer are used in process automation, industrial instrumentation, energy metering, and building management. They serve as

In practice, the term is sometimes used interchangeably with transmitter, though a Messumformer is generally viewed
