2-WIRE SIGNAL CONVERTERS
Description
Function :
To convert low level input signal such as Thermocouple, RTD, Potentiometric Signal, mA signal, micro Amp signal, AC Voltage, AC Current and V DC signal into galvanically isolated mA signal, linearly proportional to the input. Two Wire Transmitter relies on Loop Power from the receiving device, usually 24V DC, to operate the Transmitter interface & send the signal back to the receiving device.
This Converter carries both the signal from the Transmitter and the power to the Transmitter on a single pair of wires. Hence it is called as 2 Wire Converter.
Various Types of 2-Wire Signal Converters depending upon Input Signal :
- V DC to mA converter
- mV DC to mA converter
- mA DC to mA converter
- micro Amp DC to mA converter
- AC current (Through C. T. up to 5A) to mA Converter
- R (Resistance)/ Potentiometer to mA Converter (Position Transmitter)
- AC voltage (up to 415 V AC) to mA converter
- RTD Transmitter with lead length compensation
- Thermocouple Transmitter with Ambient Temperature Compensation
