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.

The DRF-IDC and the DRF-IAC current signal conditioners accept dc and ac currents respectively and provide an isolated 0 to 10 Vdc or 4 to 20 mA output. Models are available with three different power options, 24 Vdc, 115 Vac and 230 Vac.

The DRF-IDC and the DRF-IAC are ideally suited for industrial applications. All models mount on a standard 35 mm DIN rail and provide galvanic isolation between input, output and power up to 3500 Veff (model specific).

What is a Signal Conditioner?

A signal conditioner is a device that converts one type of electronic signal into a another type of signal. Its primary use is to convert a signal that may be difficult to read by conventional instrumentation into a more easily read format. In performing this conversion a number of functions may take place.

Signal conditioning is a vital process performed within the Data Acquisition System. It involves the manipulation of the analog signal output from the sensors to prepare it for the next stage of processing. Signal conditioning amplifies and converts the signals from the sensors or...
