The function signal converter with 4 I/O ports and a switching output is used for acquisition, conversion and galvanic isolation of 0/4 to 20 mA, 0/2 to 10 V standard signals and binary I/O signals.
Port 1,2: - configurable as AI, DI or DO (open collector)
Port 3,4: - configurable as AO or DO (active logic output)
Switch: - switching output
The configuration is carried out with the PC software DRAGOset at the programming interface on the front panel. Numerous functions are available such as signal splitter, clipping isolating amplifier, inverse isolating amplifier, split-range isolating amplifier, signal comparator, MIN/MAX separator, 2-channel isolating amplifier, signal distributor, switching amplifier, limit alarm unit, adder/subtractor and many more.
All I/O ports are fully isolated and protected against overvoltage, short-circuit and reverse polarity.
Functioning
The I/O ports, as well as an additional switching output, can be combined as required using DRAGO's cross-port technology to implement various device functions.
Configuration with software DRAGOset
The function signal converter is configured with the PC software DRAGOset and the programming interface DZU 1201 (see accessories) at the front programming socket. The configuration can be done either with or without power supply.
