Acromag has released a full line of microBlox isolated signal conditioning modules. Over 175 models are offered, which can safely interface a wide variety of voltage, current, temperature, frequency and other field signals with a ±5V or 0-5V DC output to host measurement and control systems.
Users can select modules with fixed ranges or wireless configuration via Bluetooth on an Android or iOS mobile device. The company’s Agility app for smartphones and tablets simplifies setting custom I/O ranges and optimal alarm functions, and can display input signal values and create sharable trend charts. Furthermore, uB modules snap securely into compact back-panels (no screws) in any mix with four, eight or sixteen-channel capacities. With 1500Vac peak (350Vdc continuous) channel-to-channel and field-to-host isolation, the hot-swappable modules are suitable for front-end data acquisition systems or remote I/O for communication to Ethernet, Modbus or Profibus networks. The modules have up to 0.05 per cent accuracy and 130dB noise rejection, the company claims.
