Lutze Signal Conditioners
Lutze signal converters are designed to ensure precise and reliable signal transmission in demanding industrial automation environments. These converters are used to adapt, isolate, or amplify electrical signals from sensors and controllers, making them compatible with other devices within control systems. Lutze signal converters are known for their compact housing and DIN rail mountable designs, allowing easy integration into control panels without taking up excessive space.
The signal converters are engineered to handle a wide range of input and output signals including analog voltage, current, RTD, and thermocouple signals. This flexibility makes them suitable for applications in process control, manufacturing automation, and building technology. They help maintain signal integrity over long distances and protect sensitive equipment from electrical noise and interference. The isolation feature is particularly beneficial when dealing with systems that have differing ground potentials or require enhanced signal protection.
Signal Conditioning: Isolators, Converters, Amplifiers and Splitters
Signal isolators are used to protect sensitive equipment, such as PLCs, from potential hazards that may originate from devices they are connected to, such as sensors or transmitters. Isolators can also be used to filter any noise that might arise from disturbances along the signal path back to the PLC.
Signal converters take one type of signal and change it to something else. For example, a signal converter can interpret an RTD signal and convert it into something that a PLC can understand.
Signal amplifiers increase the resolution of an input signal, allowing for more accurate and detailed data to be sent to the controller, enabling better monitoring and control of devices. Another important function that amplifiers perform is increasing the signal-to-noise ratio.
Signal splitters do not change the signal, but allow the signal to be sent to more than one location. For example, a signal splitter can be used to send data to two different PLC’s without any signal degradation.
