The LVDT/RVDT Simulator is used to test LVDT (Linear Variable Differential Transformer) or RVDT (Rotary Variable Differential Transformer) sensors. Using a 0- 10VDC command signal input and an excitation (drive input), the unit provides two simulation outputs of 1-5VAC. An internal 3kHz oscillator can be used as an alternative excitation source. Both outputs are fully isolated.
The unit accepts power supply input from 4 to 32VDC. When the input voltage increases from 0-10VDC, the output voltage A increases from 1 to 5VAC and the output voltage B decreases from 5 to 1VAC. Factory settings for the offset (minimum) and span (maximum) are user adjustable. Phase difference between inputs and outputs is 60 degrees.
An LED indicates if the power is ON. The unit is conformal coated and available in a DIN rail mount enclosure.
