Analog to Frequency Signal Conditioner Converts 4 to 20 mA to Frequency
Calex Mfg. Co., Inc. of Concord, California announces the availability of the Calex Model 8505. The 8505 analog to frequency converter offers a cost effective
solution for a single or multiple channel PLC I/O systems. Ideally suited to convert a 4 to 20 mA sensor output into a PLC frequency input.
The 8505 is designed to operate into the common 24 volt, 7 mA PLC discrete counter input. It provides 1 kHz to 5 kHz output frequency for a 4 µA per Hertz
resolution. The output is linear to 0.01% with a very high accuracy of better than 0.1%. The output is an isolated floating optocoupler which provides DC isolation from the input and DC power.
