PRODUCT OVERVIEW

The 6B Series delivers sensor-to-host signal-conditioning for remote applications. Software-configurable for a wide variety of sensor types, including: analog input, analog output, and digital I/O, the 6B Series is intended for remote data acquisition, machine monitoring, remote energy management and process monitoring and control applications.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The 6B21 is a single-channel signal-conditioning module which provides a digitally-controlled isolated current loop output to a resolution of 12 bits. The output range can be selected to either a 0 to 20 mA or 4 mA to 20 mA process current. It is electrically and mechanically compatible with the 6B Series input modules and backplanes. The 6B21 takes a command from the host computer and converts it into an isolated process current suitable for interfacing with valves and actuators. The 6B21 offers a normal mode output protection of 240 V rms as well as 1500 V rms CMV isolation. In addition the actual current flowing in the current loop is read back by an on-board isolated V/F (voltage-to-frequency) converter.
