The DRF series DIN rail signal conditioners are
designed to accept a broad range of input signals,
such as ac and dc voltage and current, frequency,
temperature (thermocouple and RTD), and process
transducers, and provide standard process outputs
of either 4 to 20 mA, or 0 to 10 Vdc. The DRF series
feature a modern housing design, that is easily
mounted on standard 35 mm DIN rails. Connections
are safely and securely made through pluggable
screw terminal connectors, with input and output
connections on the opposite sides of the module.
Functionality
The DRF series are designed to maximize functionality.
The front door of the housing provides easy access to
span and offset potentiometers which may be used to
field adjust the input and output signal range.
Isolation
The input, output and power circuits are isolated by
3500 volts of galvanic isolation. The isolation protects
against potentially damaging voltages from passing
through the signal conditioners into connected systems.
The isolation also provides improved measurement
accuracy by minimizing the effects of ground loops and
electrical noise.
Outputs
Each DRF series signal conditioner is available with
current and voltage output (only one may be used at a
time). Available output types include 4 to 20 mA or 0 to
10 Vdc. Although pre-configured before shipping from
the factory, the output may be changed through an
internal jumper change.
Standard outputs are linear and proportional to the
signal input. Thermocouple input modules feature
special circuitry to linearize the output to the actual
temperature rather than the non-linear signal produced
by thermocouple sensors.
