Good day!
For a personal project I'm using 4 proporcional valves. To control these valves, I've implemented a control circuit. The function of this circuit is that, depending on the voltage input ( range of 1V to 5V) it transforms it to a current output (range 4mA to 20mA). Hence the valves need a voltage input of 24V, I've implementes a 24 voltage source for each valve.
Here's the thing guys, each valve counts with it's personal 24 voltage source and a 4mA-20mA control circuit. But, when I run the whole system: ALL the valves at the same time, this 24V doesn't maintain at 24V.... it drops down to about 15V on each valve.
I'm not really sure why this is happening, maybe there's something I'm missing out. Thanks for taking the time to read me and hopefully answer me back.
