Transducers with Frequency Output

General Description

This measurement transducer converts an input current, an input voltage or the signal from a sensor (thermocouple, Pt-100, resister, measurement bridge, etc.) into a frequency which is proportional to the magnitude of the input signal. The programmable version has DIL switches to set the maximum output frequency in steps of 100 Hz. (max. 20 kHz). The frequency outputs from different modules can be connected to a common bus.

Direct conversion of an input signal (voltage, current, all common sensors) into a frequency output which is proportional to the magnitude of the input.
Suitable for SPC and other systems with frequency or counter inputs, analog signals with AD-converters are not necessary.
Optional galvanic isolation between the input, output and power supply (3 port isolation)
Output frequency up to 20 kHz (can be selected via switches in the programmable version), impulse amplitude is selectable via a voltage at the "enable" input
Where there are several modules, it is possible to connect them to a common frequency bus: only one frequency input is necessary, modules are selected by an "enable" input
