Hi,

I have been asked to make a 4-20mA input and im not 100% how to go about this. Im sure there is a standard im meant to be following but im not sure what it is. Can anyone help point me in the right direction? Im imagining a sense resistor and an amplifier???

Best regards

Yes, you supply a 24 volt current source from your input to the
transmitting device.
Normally, you do that via a 24 volt supply through a resistor
where at which point, you measure the return voltage and do the
math./.
just subtract what ever is coming back and use that to do the
basic ohms law of the source resistor you're using.
just put this into a op-amp as a voltage follower.
