Standard Loop Diagrams for Connecting Pressure Transmitter, RTD, and Solenoid Valve to PLC with MTL Isolators

Question:

I am currently in search of standard loop diagrams for the following setups: 1. Connecting a 2 wire pressure transmitter to an MTL isolator (preferably 055 range) and then to a PLC analogue card (preferably Siemens or Allen Bradley). 2. Connecting a 4 wire RTD to an MTL isolator (preferably 055 range) and then to a PLC analog card (preferably Siemens or Allen Bradley). 3. Connecting a 2 wire Solenoid valve to an MTL isolator (preferably 055 range) and then to a PLC analog card (preferably Siemens or Allen Bradley). I am also in need of recommendations for cable specifications suitable for connecting to a solenoid valve in a hazardous area. Can anyone provide assistance with this?
