The latest addition to the MCR isolation amplifier series from Phoenix Contact is the MCR-FL-C-UI-2UI-DCI signal multiplier for standard analog signals. It is used for duplicating and electrically isolating (0(4) to 20 mA, 0 to 10 mA, 0(1) to 5 V, and 0 to 10 V) standard analog signals.
Module in- and outputs and the power supply are electrically isolated from one another (4-way isolation). This allows the modules to be used both on site and close to the controller for electrical isolation, signal conversion, and amplification. It means the converter can also bridge high working resistances on the transmission route. DIP-switches enable transfer behaviour calibration. It is not necessary to make zero/span potentiometer adjustments, since the module has been pre-calibrated for all signal combinations. The signal multiplier's configurability simultaneously reduces storage costs and increases availability.
