Pepperl+Fuchs : Power Supply Signal Conditioning
KFU8-VCR-1 transmitter power supply signal conditioners feature various inputs for standard voltage and current inputs, these 1-channel signal conditioners offer maximum installation flexibility to suit a wide range of application needs. Input and output signal ranges are selected by switches located on the front of the device. This enables fast, easy set-up and setting duplication, without the need for any software and eliminating the need for tedious input/output scaling. Units are said to deliver reliable, easy-to-implement and cost-effective power isolation in non-intrinsically safe applications that don’t require a display or scaling. They also provide the user with a transmitter power supply and signal converter in one device. KFU8-VCR-1 can be powered by a wide range of AC or DC power, and is good for small projects. According to the company, the product is particularly useful in applications where the outputs are used not only with signal meters but with additional trip values and control units, because the output needs the ability to drive higher loads; the KFU8-VCR-1 can drive up to 750 ohms. Units operate on AC/DC wide range supply, supply input 2-wire and 3-wire transmitters, can be used with current and voltage sources, and provide adjustable current and voltage outputs.
