Need high channel-to-channel isolation?

For systems requiring high channel-to-channel isolation, noise rejection, surge suppression, and amplification Acromag offers the answer with a new 8B product line of high-density isolated analog signal conditioners. Use these fast, compact, and economical 8B analog I/O modules separately or convert your signals to Ethernet with Acromag's EtherStax® or BusWorks®  Modules.

Designed for front-end signal conditioning or embedded applications, the 8B series provides 102 models that interface to a wide variety of voltage, current, temperature, position, frequency, and strain measuring devices. Custom modules are also available.

For Din-rail isolators, splitters, videos, and application notes check out our previous e-newsletter,  Issue 2.

Opinion Poll

What kind of input isolation levels do you need?

Question: Can I use the Ethernet i2o peer-to-peer communication feature for reverse-acting control of discrete I/O devices? I want a contact to close when a remote switch opens.

Answer: A new Ethernet i2o peer-to-peer feature was added to Acromag's BusWorks® discrete I/O modules effective June 1st, 2008. Now all Acromag Model 983EN-4012 and 982EN-4012 units support a "reverse-acting" function as part of their peer-to-peer capabilities. This feature adds for more flexibility and allows discrete outputs to mirror the "shelf state" of either "normally open" or "normally closed" inputs. This function is very useful when interfacing proximity switches, dry contacts, or other sensors that can have either kind of output. It makes selecting or interfacing with any discrete sensor easier. And, in cases where reverse actuation is needed, this feature reduces costs, saves panel space, and increases reliability by eliminating the need for interposing slave relays.
