This signal conditioner is a dual or quad-channel analog input module with one discrete/relay output per input channel and a Modbus interface. It filters and linearizes RTD or resistance inputs while providing isolation between input, output, power, and network circuits. Lead wire compensation and pscale/downscale sensor break detection are standard. Low voltage AC and DC power sources are supported with nonpolarized, diode-coupled terminals.
The programmable inputs accommodate four RTD types plus wide-range resistance signals. Flexible discrete outputs operate as alarms or on/off controllers. As limit alarms, each discrete output can be configured with high and/or low setpoints exclusively tied to an analog input channel. Alarm trips function without host communication enabling low-cost stand-alone alarms as well as local backup for the primary control system. Otherwise, on/off control is based on commands issued by the host system.
Combining flexible transmitter functions, mixed signal I/O, alarm support, and a network interface in a single package, makes this instrument extremely powerful. Multi-channel design adds cost-efficiency and allows high-density mounting. Plus, safe, rugged construction makes these modules reliable for use in both control room and distributed field I/O applications. Custom module configurations are also possible (consult factory for details).
