Absolute Process Instruments Signal & Power Conditioning
Absolute Process Instruments (API) offers a range of signal and power conditioning modules that are utilized in the industrial automation and process control industry to enhance the integrity and accuracy of signals, provide electrical isolation, and stabilize power supplies. These modules are particularly essential in situations where precise measurements and control are required, such as in manufacturing, power generation, water/wastewater treatment, chemical production, and instrumentation.
Signal conditioning modules from API are employed to isolate, convert, amplify, and filter analog signals received from sensors and transmitters. They are commonly found in measurement applications involving temperature, pressure, flow rate, and level, where a clean signal is necessary for input into a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC), Distributed Control System (DCS), or other control device. Signal conditioning modules from API eliminate ground loops and noise from the signal to ensure reliable data transmission and steady operation of the system.
Power conditioning modules from API serve to condition and regulate the electrical power that is supplied to sensitive electronic devices. They are used to control power quality issues such as spikes, sags, electrical noise, and electromagnetic interference (EMI) which can cause malfunctions in control systems or damage to equipment. Power conditioning modules are necessary in industrial settings which have fluctuating power demands, long power transmission lines, and electrically noisy equipment.
