The new iD Series signal conditioners combine the accuracy of laboratory
instrumentation with the performance required by demanding industrial
applications. The iD Series signal conditioners are ideal for those applications
in Data Acquisition, Test & Measurement, Process Control, and Industrial
Automation where accuracy, performance, and reliability are critically
important. The iD Series signal conditioners mount on a 35mm DIN rail, and
operate on any voltage between 10-32 DC power. (A matching 24 Vdc 850 mA
switching power supply is also available.) The devices feature three-way
isolation of up to 1800 V between the signal inputs, outputs, and power
supply.
The iD series feature seven (7) models designed
for each of the most widely
measured signal inputs: Process
(DC) Voltage and Current; Strain
Gage; Thermocouples; RTD.
s; AC Voltage; AC
Current; Frequency/Pulse. The
iD series devices are designed to
work directly with a variety of sensors
and transducers; no other components
are necessary. For sensors
such as RTD. s, strain
gages, and some process
transducers, precise stable
excitation is provided directly from
the iD module.
The iD series are available with two
different types of signal outputs:
Analog or Digital. The iDRN series
provides a totally scalable analog
output in DC voltage or current.
The iDRX series provide a digital
RS-485 output. Both iD Series
signal conditioners are intelligent
microprocessor based instruments
that can be scaled and programmed
by computer via serial
communications, or over an
Ethernet network.
iDRN SERIES ANALOG OUTPUT
The
iDRN series feature a 0-10 Vdc,
or 0-20 mA (including 4-20 mA)
analog output signal that is typically
scaled to be directly proportional to
the input signal. It is an ideal
component in a system with PLC. s
or PC. s with analog data
acquisition boards.
The iDRN series are an excellent choice
for applications that demand an
extra measure of accuracy and performance
that is not possible with
conventional "analog" signal conditioners
or transmitters. Unlike conventional
analog devices that are
scaled by adjusting zero and span
pots, the programmable, micro-processor
based iDRN instruments
are scaled precisely on a
PC with free and simple Windows software.
The iDRN modules connect
directly to a PC. s RS-232
Serial Communications port for
programming and scaling.
Once the module is configured,
the parameters are saved in nonvolatile
memory. The device can
be disconnected from the PC, or
the RS-232 output from the module
can be used for continuous data
acquisition in addition to the
analog output.
Alternatively, the iDRN signal conditioner
can be connected to a PC.
s Ethernet port or an Ethernet
network using the EIS-2B module as a
Serial/Ethernet bridge.
FREE SETUP and CONFIGURATION
If an iDRN signal conditioner is not
going to be connected to a
computer, it can be ordered
preconfigured by the factory at no
extra charge. The user can select
the input types, ranges and output
scale, and OMEGA will program the
instruments to those specific
requirements in our calibration lab
prior to shipment. For custom
factory setup and scaling of the
iDRN model, please specify the
-FS option.
DRX SERIES DIGITAL OUTPUT
The iDRX Series Signal
Conditioners provide highly
accurate digital outputs. Each
module provides an RS-485 Serial
output that can be transmitted
directly to computers and other
devices with serial communications
capability, or converted to Ethernet.
On an RS-485 bus, up to 32
modules can be connected over a
distance of 1200 m (4000 ft) on a
single pair of wires. With optional
RS-485 repeaters, up to 254
modules may be connected to a
single RS-485 port. The iDRX
Series digital conditioners may be
connected to an RS-485 bus using
either screw terminator or RJ-12
connector.
ASCII AND MODBUS
The user can select between an
easy-to-use, straightforward ASCII
protocol, or the popular MODBUS
protocol found in many existing
industrial installations. With the
simple ASCII commands, writings
programs using the iDRX does not
require special drivers or libraries.
In addition, many off-the-shelf
software packages can be used
with the iDRX devices without any
programming. OMEGA also
provides a number of useful
programs and demos for the iDRX
at no charge.
OPC Server
and ACTIVE X
CONTROLS
OMEGA offers an
optional OPC Server
(OLE for Process
Control) and ActiveX
Controls for the iDRX
Series. These
programs make it
easy to integrate the
iDRX devices with
information systems
using Active
Containers such as
Microsoft Visual Basic
and Microsoft Excel as
well as with popular
OLE and OPC
compliant data
acquisition, process
control, and industrial
automation software from
OMEGA®, Iconics, Wonderware,
Intellution, Rockwell Automation,
and GE Cimplicity among others.
