Signal conditioning modules permit longer cable runs
Red Lion Controls is releasing their new signal conditioner product line-up today. Red Lion's full range of signal conditioners boost signal strength while allowing for longer cable runs through industrial environments. When used as a converter, these devices can translate and incorporate signals into existing PLC architectures, eliminating the need for high-priced PLC input cards just to accommodate a unique signal input from a newly added sensor. Offering a slim 6mm footprint, each of Red Lion's signal converters can accept or convert current, voltage, thermocouples, RTDs, resistance and pulsed input signals.
Red Lion's new signal conditioners are suitable for customers desiring superior signal integrity, and for industrial applications either requiring data from existing deployed equipment to be incorporated into IIoT strategies through the addition of sensors, or measurement processes involving precise sensor data requiring signals to be accurately transmitted over distance and without interference from external sources of noise such as VFDs and switching spikes. Rather than adding costly specialised I/O cards to an existing PLC system, Red Lion's signal conditioning and conversion products allow plant engineers to add sensor data to current processes in existing formats, simplifying implementation and lowering costs.
These new signal conditioner products offer amplification, isolation, and conversion capabilities, ensuring signal integrity in harsh environments and across long distances, with the option to change the signal to the desired input needed dependent upon the application. A slim 6mm housing translates to added capabilities without sacrificing panel space.
