Analog Chassis Plug-in Modules
Before you install any plug-in modules, be sure they are configured properly for
your system. The following is a brief description of the plug-in modules available
for the chassis.
Plug-in Modules

497.13 *
* This conditioner is normalized and can be swapped (with a conditioner of the same model number)
without recalibrating the sensor/conditioner pair. Normalized conditioners contain an EEPROM in
which normalization values are stored during manufacturing. These values compensate for
variations in conditioner components.
AC Conditioner Processes signals from AC-type sensors such as LVDTs or
RVDTs.
Note This module was designed to replace the Model
497.14 AC Conditioner.
497.15 Three-Stage Valve Driver Produces the control signal and inner control loop for a Series
256 Servovalve or Series 257 Servovalve.
497.22 * Dual DC Conditioner Processes the signals from two DC-type sensors such as a
force transducer or extensometer.
497.26 Two-Stage Valve Driver Produces the control signal for one Series 252 Servovalve.
The second valve driver is not used in standard systems.
497.34 Multistation Interlock
Controller Monitors the plug-in modules for interlocks. This is a part of
the interlock chain between Model 497.05 Chassis and any
other 497.01 chassis.
497.36 Communication Module Provides communications between the Model 497.01 Analog
Chassis and the Model 498.22 Test Processor.
