Analog signal conditioner

1 March 2015 Test & Measurement

The new Mini MCR-SL-IDS-I-I output signal conditioner with a narrow 6,2 mm design from Phoenix Contact’s Mini Analog product range transmits and electrically isolates 4 to 20 mA signals from a controller to a load in the field, such as I/P converters, control valves or displays.

Electrical isolation is implemented between the input, output and supply. In addition, HART data protocols can be transmitted bidirectionally in order to obtain or transmit additional information from the field device. This allows a system to permanently monitor the state of control valves, for example.

The modules can be supplied with a voltage of 19,2 to 30 V d.c. via the connection terminal blocks or in combination via the DIN rail connector. When supplied via the latter, they can also be used on a termination carrier. This system cabling solution enables up to 16 output signals to be connected to control systems.

Modules with screw or spring-cage connection technology are available.
