The ActionI/Q model Q404-1/2 is a fast
response, DIN rail mount, DC input signal conditioner, with 2000VAC isolation
between input, output and power. Available as a single channel signal
conditioner (1 input / 1 output) or as a dual-channel signal conditioner (2
inputs/ 2 output), the Q404 maintains the high 2000VAC isolation from channel
to channel, as well as input to output to power.
Factory configured 0-10VDC and 4-20mA iutput.
Front accessed zero and span potentiometers allow 5% adjustment of offset and
gain to compensate for sensor errors or signal losses.
All ActionI/Q modules feature SnapLoc,
plug-in, screw terminals for easy installation and low Mean-Time-To-Repair
(MTTR). If desired, two or more modules can slide together and interlock for
solid, high density mounting. This is accomplished by removing either the DIN
rail foot or the adjacent units face plate, for right side or left side
mounting, respectively. The module to be attached will easily slide onto the
side of the mounted unit.
Application In most industrial process control
or data acquisition applications, several different input sources, including
voltages and currents from various field instruments (e.g. level, flow,
pressure and position sensors), are common. Four-wire transmitters accept these
field inputs and provide the controller (DCS or PLC) the standard industrial
signals they require. The four-wire transmitter will increase the signal drive
to high impedance loads and may improve resolution of the process variable.
The 2000VAC isolation capability of the Q404
prevents ground loops from causing errors in DC signals. Filtering and common
mode rejection are included to reduce susceptibility to Electro Magnetic
Interference (EMI) and Radio Frequency Interference (RFI). Isolation also
provides protection from high voltages and current spikes which may damage
expensive Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA) equipment. |
