    3-way galvanic signal isolation

    The module input, output and power supply circuit are galvanically isolated from one another. This design helps safely separate the sensor circuit from the signal evaluation or control circuit.

    Three-way isolation is particularly useful in systems where different ground potentials, interference currents or ground loops may occur. The module can also reduce the adverse interaction of several interconnected sensor circuits.

    Three circuits are isolated:
    the analogue signal input, analogue signal output and the 18–30 V DC auxiliary power supply circuit.

    Analogue signal conversion, 3-way isolation and 450 Hz transmission bandwidth

    The MCR-C-UI-UI-450-DCI is a compact single-channel analogue signal converter that isolates the sensor, output and auxiliary power supply circuits. Three-way galvanic isolation helps protect the automation system against potential differences, ground loops and the effects of interconnected signal circuits.

    Configurable voltage and current ranges allow the module to be adapted to a variety of analogue signal conversion tasks. The 450 Hz cut-off frequency and 0.8 ms response time allow faster-changing signals to be transmitted than with the standard 30 Hz version.

    The 17.5 mm wide housing is mounted on a DIN rail, powered by 18–30 V DC and connected using removable screw terminals. The product is intended for industrial control, measurement and process automation systems requiring accurate analogue signal conversion and electrical circuit isolation.
