Field Input: 0-50kHz frequency ranges
Host Output: 0-5V or ±5V ranges
Acromag’s microBlox® uB Series I/O modules offer a compact, high-performance solution for interfacing sensors and field devices with data acquisition systems. uB signal conditioning modules are ideal to isolate, filter, convert and amplify a wide variety of signal types for test, measurement and control systems. Just plug uB modules into 4, 8, or 16-channel back panels in any mix for a high-density analog I/O interface. Channel-to-channel isolation provides optimal noise and surge protection from ground loops, spikes, and high common mode voltages.
The uB45 model conditions and converts a frequency field input signal to a scaled 0-5V or ±5V output. It includes a 5V excitation at the input for interface pull-up when using sensors such as magnetic pickups or contact closures. Bipolar (zero-crossing) and uni-polar (digital/TTL) signals are supported.
The uBTA carriers are used with Acromag’s microBlox® signal conditioning modules to create powerful alarms that also provide a voltage/current transmitter output. The plug-in modules offer the convenience of wireless field programming on a smartphone or tablet.
Bluetooth® wireless technology versions enable configuration using a smart phone or tablet. Acromag’s Agility™ app, available for Android™ and iOS® mobile devices, helps you vary input/ output ranges and scaling to your specific application. The Agility app can also set an alarm output function with a set-point limit and dead band. Other app functions include polling inputs, trending values in a shareable chart, updating calibration, and diagnostic troubleshooting.
Back panels provide power, I/O wiring terminals, and host access to an industry-standard analog signal bus. Modules are hot-swappable without screws. Data acquisition boards can access all host I/O signals on the DB25 bus connector.
