Secure and reliable transmission of analogue signals
Industrial signal conditioners from Weidmüller.
Data is key to optimizing industrial processes, making important business decisions, and more. Increasingly, machines and systems are equipped with sensors to record parameters such as temperature, pressure, filling level, flow rates, weight, or speed. Signal conditioners are essential to ensure this analogue data is reliable for use with the intended application. They enable reliable transmission of analogue sensor signals – the foundation of any value-added data processing.
As a partner in Industrial Connectivity, Weidmüller understands the conditions across various industrial sectors. Our signal converters are designed to ensure optimum signal transmission and conversion under all circumstances. Selected components are used to prevent factors like temperature fluctuations, electromagnetic interference, vibrations, and corrosive or explosive atmospheres from affecting the safety and accuracy of signal transmission. So, your signal is always in safe hands. We continuously develop our broad product range to equip you for the future.
Made to meet your challenges:
Our signal processing for various industries
Whether in mechanical engineering, the process industry, or power engineering, no application today can do without electronics and electrical connectivity. The complexity of electrotechnical and electronic components is influenced by advancements in digitalization, technological changes, and internationalization. With our portfolio of analogue signal converters, we ensure reliable and secure signal transmission, constantly adapting to today’s rapidly changing markets.
Mechanical engineering – precise and compact
To support signal acquisition in extreme environments, our ACT20P signal converters are the right choice. These process and transmit analogue data with an accuracy of up to 0.05%. For maximizing space, our ACT20M series offers up to 2 channels with a width of just 6 mm. The MCZ family of signal converters is even more compact, currently being the smallest on the market with a height of only 52 mm.
Process industry – communicative and safe
Our intrinsically safe ACT20X signal converters with FDT/DTM support are ideal for complying with high standards of explosion protection and functional safety. These converters complement integrated safety systems up to a SIL level of 3.
Power – precise and functional
In power engineering, one of the greatest challenges is the reliable and precise isolation of control signals from high power levels. Our signal converters from the ACT20P and ACT20M families excel in these tasks, offering useful functions such as signal doubling or limit value determination. The ACT20C series also enables continuous monitoring of device and system functions.
Seven good reasons for using signal conditioners
Our analogue signal converters in your applications:
1. Earth Loop Isolation
A signal isolator interrupts the earth loop, making the installation of field devices independent of the earthing and shielding concepts of the installed PLC/DCS system.
2. Protection against EMC Interference
Input filters in signal conditioners block electromagnetic interference, ensuring the desired process values can be determined without interference.
3. Protection against Dangerous AC Voltages
Isolating amplifiers ensure reliable isolation in the event of a fault, providing secure galvanic isolation between inputs, outputs, and power supply connections.
4. Protection against Short Circuits in Signal Wiring
Active and passive isolating amplifiers isolate the input channels from the measuring transducer, ensuring that short circuits within one signal circuit do not affect neighboring circuits.
5. Signal Conversion into Standard Signals
Signal converters convert, amplify, and linearize physical input signals, mapping them to standard signals for further processing.
6. Splitting Signals between Receivers
Isolating signal splitters decouple the sensor from the load of multiple receivers, preventing sensor overload.
7. Matching Current Sources to Inputs
Passive isolating amplifiers match active outputs to active inputs, with an output loop powered isolating amplifier (OLP) requiring no additional power supply.
You have individual requirements. We have a flexible product range.
No matter what your requirements are, our ACT20 series analogue signal converters ensure secure and precise signal conversion and isolation. They are suitable for a wide variety of applications, offering specific properties such as communication capability, compact dimensions, and software configurability.
