Pneumatic To Current Converter
Application Conversion of pneumatic signals into electric standardized signals, especially suitable as transfer element between pneumatic and electric measuring and control equipment.
p/i converters serve as interface between pneumatic and electric measuring and control units, being used for example to connect pneumatic transmitters to electric controllers, computers and process control systems. The input variable is a pneumatic signal and the output variable an electric DC current signal or DC voltage signal. The Type 6132 p/i Converters are designed for four-wire connection and are available as rail-mounting units for top hat rails.
Special features Low hysteresis Good dynamic response due to capacitive pressure transducer in the input

Principle of operation (Figs. 2 and 3) A capacitive pressure transducer (1) is used to convert the pressure p of the pneumatic input signal into an electric DC voltage signal. The DC voltage signal which is proportional to the pressure is amplified to a defined level in the measuring amplifier (3). Lower range value and span can be adjusted at the potentiometers located on the front panel (approx. 10 %). The output stage (4) issues a load-independent DC current signal or a DC voltage signal. The type of output signal (mA or V) and the range can be set at the switches. The power transformer (5) and rectifier (6) provide the converter with energy and isolate it from the power supply network. Converters with 24-V supply are isolated by means of a DC transducer. It is used instead of the rectifier (6) and the power transformer (5).
