On the input side, current and voltage signals of up to 24mA or 12V can be applied, and the required signal range can be freely set. On the output side, signals of up to 10.5V or 21mA can be freely selected.

An integrated threshold value output combines the functions of a signal conditioner and threshold value switch in one housing. This enables alarms to be triggered without a digital output on the PLC. No complex programming is required at the controller.

In addition, the new signal conditioner is only 6mm wide. And thanks to the highly visible, easily accessible terminal points and plug-in connection terminal blocks, the device is easy to install.

Large-surface marking areas enable complete loop identification despite the compact design, while current signals can be measured during operation without disconnecting the current loop.

Configuration is either via DIP switch, free PC software, or wirelessly with the free smartphone app for Android.
