Fluke's 771 mA Process Clamp Meter from Comtest is the latest innovative approach to measuring mA loop signals on PLC's. With Fluke's 771 technicians no longer need to lift a wire from a terminal i.e. break the loop, to measure 4-20 mA, which has a direct impact on maintenance time. Maintenance managers are able to measure the 4- 20 mA loops on PLCs without having to liaison with the production manager to stop the plant. This reduces plant costs by eliminating catastrophic plant outages caused by accidentally opening a critical loopWith Fluke's 771 there is no need to call a control room to override the control of a process loop when breaking the loop. Technicians save time when testing control system analog IO on a PLC because they do not need to check measurements on a console.
