PRT-ADC4-DIN
The Protege DIN Rail 4 Channel Analog Input Expander enhances the total integration philosophy of the Protege System by allowing the connection of any industrial automation sensor using the industry standard 0 to 10V signals, and self-powered 4-20mA current loop sensors. The data from the sensors can then be used for comparison functions, process control calculations, variable display and alarm activation in the Protege system.
Special Features
- Automatic scaling provides a full 4 to 20mA input range on the current interface
- 10 Bit precision analog circuitry interfaces to the real world providing a high level of accuracy
- 4x 100% independent analog inputs provide excellent noise and interface protection
- High Performance 32 Bit processor
- Designed for use with Industry Standard DIN Rail Mounting
