What kind of gas analyzer is used for analyzing the components of syngas in coal chemical industry nowadays, and what is the nature of the output signal? If it’s possible to output the gas content of each component, 4-20mA probably won’t work
Gas chromatography is commonly used for the analysis of syngas components in coal chemical industry. The output signal is generally a digital signal, which can be transmitted to a computer system via a data interface; the computer then analyzes it and displays the concentration of each individual gas component. The 4-20mA signal is primarily used in traditional analog sensors; it is generally not employed for the analysis of complex gas compositions. .
Is it a Modbus communication signal?
Yes, the Modbus communication protocol is a commonly used digital communication protocol in the industrial sector, and it can be employed for data transmission in devices such as gas analyzers. It supports remote monitoring and control of devices, and can transmit more complex data. .

Gas chromatography analyzers generally have I/O outputs such as 4-20mA analog outputs and digital DO outputs, which are used to deliver values of various components as well as signals for alarms and faults. They usually also come equipped with a Modbus communication interface; however, it is preferable to use direct connections rather than communication for transmitting signals related to alarms and interlocks.
You can make requests regarding signal output; multiple components can communicate with each other.
So 4-20mA represents the concentration of a single gas component? It’s possible to specify the concentration of any gas component as the output, right?
For multi-component systems, communication is direct to the DCS; alternatively, chromatography data can first go to a communication device where it is converted into multiple 4-20MA signals. Our analysis unit with six components communicates with a PLC, from which the signals are then sent to the DCS. All other analysis instruments connect to this PLC, and ultimately, numerous 4-20MA analog signals are sent to the DCS
Gas chromatography analyzers have multiple interfaces, such as 4-20mA outputs, network ports, and serial MODBUS communication interfaces; the choice depends on your needs. It’s not true that instruments designed for analyzing multiple components cannot use 4-20mA outputs – they actually have multiple 4-20mA analog outputs, each corresponding to a different component
