1 Loop-Powered Isolators for Standard Signals For isolation of 0(4) 20 ma standard signals without power supply in 19" technology The Housing The integration of several modules on one Eurocard results in minimal cabling effort and a compact design, and is cost-effective. The full encapsulation design of the modules guarantees a high level of reliability even in extreme conditions. The Advantages The with a voltage drop of 1.2 V is the 1:1 isolator for all applications where loop-powered isolators are not suitable because of technical problems such as excessive voltage drop. The Task Galvanic isolation of measurement signals using 19" technology, cost reduction by means of minimum cabling in series production The Problems The application possibilities for looppowered isolators are mainly defined by the following critical data: Voltage drop Operating current Accuracy Load voltage Signal delay Isolation voltage Dimensions The Solution Knick's isolator has unmatched technical specifications. The isolator obtains its power supply as a voltage drop of the measurement signal without having a noticeable effect on it. This saves on power supply devices and cabling and increases the reliability accordingly. The Applications Galvanic isolation of input and output circuits of the supply voltage for 2-wire transmitters for the addition or other coupling of signals at different potentials to eliminate currents resulting from double grounding when insulation and test voltage are insufficient of high-potential signal sources for battery-powered devices with a central battery The Technology Knick's isolators with transformer-based isolation have specifications which far exceed those of all other looppowered isolators. They feature a chopper generator connected in series in the current path and current conversion which gradually changes from sine to square wave over the range. This avoids the accuracy-reducing current losses of normal parallel connected generators, considerably reduces the voltage drop, and ensures accurate transmission of even the lowest currents. 332
