Computer controlled signal

transformer for potentiometric

input signals to be converted

to standardized voltage or

current signals. The signal

conditioner supplies the

potentiometric sensors with a

highly stable constant voltage.

The wiper signal is sampled

without load via a high-resistance

input stage and transformed

into a proportional

standardized output signal.

The adjustment of the desired

output signal (current or voltage,

switchable) is done easily

by a teach-in procedure using

only 2 buttons on the front

panel of the device. The input

span can be limited down to

80 % of the total input range.

This permits standardized output

signals to be adjusted if

the maximum travel or angle

of the sensor is not completely

utilized.

The electronic circuitry is

accommodated in a plastic

housing designed for mounting

to a standard DIN EN

50022 mounting rail. The wide

operating voltage range allows

use of unstabilized direct voltage

sources. High-grade

DC/DC transformers are used

in the models with electrically

isolated supply voltage and

signal conditioning.

The excellent linearity and

temperature drift characteristics

of the MUP400 ensure

optimum electrical implementation

of potentiometers. By

locating the MUP400 physically

close to the potentiometer,

reliable and interferencefree

transmission of the position

signal is guaranteed, even

over long transmission distances.
