    the digital signals work on standard 0-5v , so having a 4-20ma and a 250 ohm resistance we can output a 0-5v range from the controllers.
    But if 0-20ma is used, where 0ma for minimum value and if there is a failure in the transmitter wire,say it is grounded then the value read is 0ma again, so to identify this failure Industries now mostly stick to 4-20ma .

    Can you please let me know where you read this ? I mean in datasheet or anywhere else? As I know this 0 might be referred to Input only pin of Controller.
