Industrial signal conditioning
The branched network of conductors in measurement and control technology are to the industrial environment what the nerve pathways are to the human body.
In industrial applications, sensors and actuators deliver and receive a large number of measured values that must be reliably transmitted from the field to the control level and back.
Isolate, convert, filter, amplify, switch – interface technology from Phoenix Contact ensures reliable signal conditioning.
Conditioning and protection of digital and analog process signals
In process automation, signal transmission is affected by an increasingly active electrical environment. This holds especially true for the weak measured value signals emitted by sensors.
Signal conditioners and measuring transducers isolate, convert, filter, and amplify these signals.
Electronic marshalling versus standard signal marshalling
In the case of I/O signal marshalling for standard I/O systems, the field signals are sorted according to their signal type at the marshalling level and processed via the interface level. They are then wired to the signal-specific I/O cards on the control unit. In contrast, I/O signal marshalling and conversion for universal I/O systems allows flexible channel assignment from the field to the controller.
