Our range of signal converters provide a convenient and reliable way of converting almost any input voltage, current or resistance to high current output.
The High Current Output Signal Converter is a reduced function design to operate in the same way as our standard signal converters except with increased output current capability.
Our design has several features which can be selected if required. The dual controller design provides isolation between input, power supply and output as well as output current and voltage measurements. The output relay can be used as an emergency switch or as a circuit isolator in electrochemical applications. The output can be configured to follow the analogue input or set directly using the serial communications.
- Input options are 0 to 10 V, 0 to 5 V, ±10 V, 0 to 20 mA, 4 to 20 mA, resistance (potentiometer).
- Output options are 0 to 10 V, ±10V (up to 1330 mA), current output up to ± 1330 mA.
- Selectable filtering dip switch selectable with fastest step response of 10 mS or less.
- Requires an external DC supply of either: 9 to 18 VDC (12 VDC nominal),
18 to 36 VDC (24 VDC nominal), 36 to 75 VDC (48 VDC nominal). - Supply current typically Iout + 100 mA.
- Isolation of up to 1500 VDC or more, between input, output and the auxiliary power supply.
- Isolation of up to 1500 VDC or more, between input, output and the auxiliary power supply.
- Zero and span adjustment.
- Optional RS485 communications with our simple command interface so multiple units can be used with remote control.
- Modbus communications option in development.
- Hydraulic valve controller option available on request with dither and ramping.
- Heatsink temperature monitoring with automatic shutdown at 80°C and restart at 70°C.
- Operating temperature -10°C to 60°C.
- DIN rail mounting.
- Plug-in screw terminal connections.
- Servomotor control.
- Test current generator.
- Electrochemistry - potentiostatic and galvanostatic testing.
