Introduction Engineer’s Guide
We are pleased you have selected the Pepperl+Fuchs’ Signal Conditioners Engineer’s Guide as your application-
solution resource. This document is much more than a catalog of data sheets and specifications. It contains a
wealth of information on basic principles, applications, and functional safety. We hope this Engineer’s Guide is
used a valuable resource in your daily activities and that Pepperl+Fuchs is your first choice for signal conditioning
for the Process Automation industry.
Technology
The Technology portion of this catalog is divided into three sections: Basic Principles, Applications/Practical
Solutions and Safety Integrity Level (SIL).
The Basic Principles section presents a technical summary relating to the transmission of measured information
between interface modules. Digital, analog, and temperature sensor signals are discribed in a very detailed
manner.
As part of the Application/Practical Solutions section, the major process applications are detailed in easy-to-read
and easy-to-understand examples using many of the products contained in this Engineer’s Guide. This section
summarizes applications for digital input/output and analog input/output. It should be used whenever you require
application assistance for any of our K-System signal conditioners.
The final section discusses functional safety and provides a brief overview of SIL within the process industry.
The key standards are summarized and many of the important terms and definitions are discussed including
Probability of Failure on Demand (PFD), Tproof, and Safe Failure Fraction (SFF). Some examples involving
Pepperl+Fuchs products are also analyzed in order to provide a clear understanding of how our equipment can
be used in SIL loops.

In the case of the logic control units, the input pulses are
divided by the selected divider and switched to the output

the case of worm drives or tunnel ventilation systems it is
essential that the correct direction of rotation is monitored.
Device Functions
Functional Safety
The previous section described the detection of static pulse
signals. Depending on the application, numerous device
functions are available for processing the relevant pulse
form.
I
Switch Amplifier
The switch amplifier powers the sensor, monitors the input II
signal (Figure 1, a) for line faults and transfers the input
signal 1:1 to the output side (Figure 1, b).
Serial Switching Function t0
In principle, the serial switching function is the same as the I

switch amplifier function. In the case of the logic control
units, the input pulses are switched 1:1 to the output. This II
means that the input pulses can be processed on counters,
for example for service purposes (Figure 1, b).
Figure 2 Determining the direction of rotation
In order to reliably determine the direction of rotation, the

912426 (US) / 216306 (EU) 04/2009
two input signals must have minimal "overlap". If one of the

two input signals is missing, then it is not possible to provide
information about the direction of rotation.

Basic Principles Technology
This can happen if

• the sensor is incorrectly adjusted (no overlap),
II I
• the sensor is never damped ("dropped"),
• the sensor is faulty,
• the system vibrates and oscillates around the switch
point of an input without the second input being damped.
Technology
This would give the false impression of an input I

frequency. For the evaluation this means "no overlap".
II
If an intermittent overlap is detected due to vibrations, this
can cause the direction of rotation relay to "flutter". This is
remedied by the reset input, which stops the relay while the
system is idle.

Pt100 measurement resistor with a measurement current
of 1 mA supplies an output signal of 3 mV to 4 mV with a
temperature change of 10 K. On the other hand, resistance
thermometers have their weaknesses. In comparison with
the single-point measuring probe of the thermocouple,
resistance thermometers measure the entire volume of the
measurement resistor. They are less robust and respond
more slowly than thermocouples. Resistance thermometers
require a power source and the spontaneous heating effect
must be taken into account during the design and installation
phases. Resistance thermometers are two or three times
more expensive than comparable thermocouples. However,
modern thin film sensors are narrowing the performance gap

Summary
Little Variance in the Signals

A lot of different measurement information is processed in
the control applications. The conversion to a standard signal
enables all measured values with multi-channel input cards
Technology
of a single type to be recorded. This reduces the storage of
various sensor input cards from temperature sensors (Pt100,
thermocouples) to measuring bridge inputs.
Interoperability
As soon as all manufacturers convert their sensor signals
to a standard signal, the user can evaluate these directly
without complex adjustment and specification.
Ease of Measurement
Basic Principles
Simple universal measuring devices with current and voltage
inputs are sufficient when checking process circuits. Also, no
knowledge of the sensor signal is required. It is enough to
assign the input characteristic curve to the standard signal.
Reliable Transfer
The sensors are not normally located adjacent to the signal
evaluation device. If high-resistance sensor signals are
transferred over long cable distances, faults can occur.
Applications
Live Zero
Raising the standard signal to 2 V ... 10 V or 4 mA ... 20 mA
enables line faults such as lead breakages or short circuiting
to be detected.
Overlapping of digital Sensor Information
Functional Safety
The 4 mA ... 20 mA standard signal can be overlapped
with Digital HART signals in order to parameterize or read
intelligent sensors.

Signal Conditioners Introduction
With the variety of process control systems available, it is often necessary to convert an input signal
into a format that the system will accept. Signal conditioners take signals from an assortment of field
Signal Conditioners
instruments such as thermocouples and RTDs, and convert those signals into any of several standard
instrument signals (1 V ... 5 V, 4 mA ... 20 mA, etc.). Signal conditioners are also beneficial to the
accurate transfer of these signals, isolation, and the elimination of ground loops.
Operating principle
The key to process control is accuracy both in measurement
and in signal conditioning. The biggest and most overlooked
threat to effective process control is the presence of ground
loops. Whenever analog data is transferred through long cable
runs, there is a high probability that ground loop problems
will occur. A ground loop exists when multiple earth ground connections are made in a system.
A difference in potential between the grounds (VGND) generates an extraneous current flow in the
signal conductor. The result is commonly known as noise. In its mildest form, noise in the signal line
causes measurement offsets, incorrect sensor readings, and general signal corruption. In its most
severe form, however, noise contamination can deteriorate communication to a point where control of
the process is lost. Isolation between the ground circuits is essential to the prevention of ground loop
currents and, therefore, the elimination of noise. Signal conditioners provide the necessary isolation as
well as amplification, filtering, and linearity corrections.
