MINI Analog Pro Signal Conditioners – Configuration with New DTM Technology
April 11, 2014
The most important task of a signal conditioner is the electrical isolation of signals between sensors in the field and PLC / DCS systems in the control room.
Other tasks are signal filtering, amplification as well as signal conversion. Multifunctional signal conditioners offer a variety of signal combinations and have to be configured. The new MINI Analog Pro signal conditioners offer a variety of configuration options. Besides the easy DIP-switch configuration for standard settings or the wireless configuration option via smartphone this also includes a PC configuration for extra functionality.
One approach for PC configuration that is already known from the MACX and MINI Analog series is based on the manufacturer independent FDT Technology standard, which allows the configuration of devices from different vendors with the same software. In MINI Analog Pro Phoenix Contact introduces a whole new type of DTM. Fully compatible with all standard FDT applications, the benefits for the user are obvious: the same software solution for programming different types of devices as well as a modern user interface, clearly structured menus, and advanced functionalities.
