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)...20 mA, 0...10 mA, 0(1)...5 V, and 0...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 utilised 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 precalibrated for all signal combinations. The signal multiplier's configurability simultaneously reduces storage costs and increases availability.
Turning plastic waste into clean hydrogen
Electrical Power & Protection
Researchers have developed a solar-powered process that converts plastic waste into hydrogen and useful industrial chemicals while using spent acid from vehicle batteries. The approach could help create a circular system for dealing with several challenging waste streams at the same time.
