DSCA40/41
Analog Voltage Input Signal Conditioners, Wide Bandwidth
Description
Each DSCA40/41 voltage input module provides a single channel of analog
input which is filtered, isolated, amplified, and converted to a high level voltage
output. Signal filtering is accomplished with a five-pole filter. An anti-aliasing pole
is located on the field side of the isolation barrier, and the other four poles are
on the system side. After the initial field-side filtering, the input signal is chopped
by a proprietary chopper circuit. Isolation is provided by transformer coupling,
again using a proprietary technique to suppress transmission of common mode
spikes or surges.
Module output is either voltage or current. For current output models a dedicated
loop supply is provided at terminal 3 (+OUT) with loop return located at terminal
4 (-OUT). The system-side load may be either floating or grounded.
Special input circuits provide protection against accidental connection of power-
line voltages up to 240VAC and against transient events as defined by ANSI/
IEEE C37.90.1. Protection circuits are also present on the signal output and
power input terminals to guard against transient events and power reversal.
Signal and power lines are secured to the module using screw terminals which
are in pluggable terminal blocks for ease of system assembly and reconfiguration.
The modules have excellent stability over time and do not require recalibration,
however, zero and span settings are adjustable up to ±5% to accommodate
situations where fine-tuning is desired. The adjustments are made using
potentiometers located under the front panel label and are non-interactive for
ease of use.
