    Connection with Humidity sensor (4-20ma) and PLC or temperature controller

    Hi all,

    I would like to know if I am able to connect a (4-20ma output) humidity sensor to temperature controller (PID control)
    Will the PID control goes haywire?

    If I connect the humidity sensor to my PLC analog input, what should be the next step? Customise the PID control on ladder?

    Which method is more feasible?

    Thanks.
    Rgds,

    A PLC should work fine..... Horner makes a decent one that should work (Xle) which has analog inputs, relay outputs and Modbus.
