Conditioner makes best use of space and power

The LVC-2402 is novel single-channel LVDT signal conditioner ideal for use in automation applications with PLCs and mini-PLCs.

Macro Sensors has a new single-channel LVDT signal conditioner ideal for use in automation applications with PLCs and mini-PLCs.

Operating from 24V DC, the LVC-2402 DC-operated LVDT signal conditioner works in factory locations where space and power sources are limited.

Designed to support any standard LVDT, this low-cost signal conditioner offers three user-selectable analogue outputs including: 0 to -10V DC, 0 to 10V DC or 4-20mA current output in a three- or four-wire current loop configuration.

Unlike other 24V LVDT signal conditioners, the 24V DC input power of the LVC-2402 signal conditioner is fully isolated from its analogue outputs, enabling its connection in either a four-wire isolated I/O configuration or in a three-wire common ground system in which the power ground is connected to the output signal's ground.

Other significant features of the LVC-2402 LVDT signal conditioner include: no need for a phase adjustment control, enabling its operation with longer cables that connect it to an LVDT; a choice of either 3, 5 or 10kHz LVDT excitation frequency; and external zero control permits output offset adjustments from -100% to +100% of full scale output.

Adjustments are noninteractive.

Compact in size at just 0.88 x 2.95in, all internal components of the LVC-2402 are fully enclosed in a tough polymide housing.

The DIN rail mountable housing easily integrates with PLCs, timers, circuit breakers and other DIN rail mounted modules.

The LVC-2402 LVDT signal conditioner also supports multichannel applications by permitting the synchronisation of all unit oscillators within a system.

Pricing for the LVC-2402 begins at $305 per unit, with significant quantity discounts.
