Signal Converters

In electronics, signal conditioning means manipulating an analog signal in such a way that it meets the requirements of the next stage for further processing. Most common use is in analog-to-digital converters. Signal inputs accepted by signal conditioners include DC voltage and current, AC voltage and current, frequency and electric charge. Sensor inputs can be accelerometer, thermocouple, thermistor, resistance thermometer, strain gauge or bridge, and LVDT or RVDT. Specialized inputs include encoder, counter or tachometer, timer or clock, relay or switch, and other specialized inputs. Outputs for signal conditioning equipment can be voltage, current, frequency, timer or counter, relay, resistance or potentiometer, and other specialized outputs. It is primarily utilized for data acquisition, in which sensor signals must be normalized and filtered to levels suitable for analog-to-digital conversion so they can be read by computerized devices. Other uses include pre-processing signals in order to reduce computing time, converting ranged data to Boolean values.  

Signal Isolator model PC-ISO is a highly reliable, accurate input-output isolator with fully flexible design approach. The isolation is provided between input and output and between outputs in case of multioutput versions. Signal Isolator accepts AC/DC voltage, AC/DC currents as input and provide output in form of DC current or voltage in any specified range (standard range is 4-20mA). Signal Isolator provides galvanic and optical isolation of 1.5 kV which is 3 to 4 times higher than conventional isolators. Signal Isolator is available in 1 input- 1 output , 1 input- 2 output and 1 input- 4 output versions. Transmitter power supply of 24VDC, 30mA is available as an option. Thus in case of loop powered transmitters, need of separate power supply pack is eliminated.
