[Answer/Discuss]( TECH ARTICLE [] [An overview of temperature sensor transmitters]( "Analog (4 - 20 mA) transmitters provide a number of benefits for use in industrial sensing. The nature of current (versus voltage) loops is to maintain the proper current, even if there is significant electrical resistance in the line, up to its maximum voltage capability. For this reason, current-based control loops can be used over much greater distances (measured in miles versus feet)." [Read this article in its entirety](.
