Conditioner Converts Pulse Rate Signals into 4-20mA
Designed for converting outputs from pulse generating transducers, the C16-10 Frequency to Analogue Converter is proving to be a popular choice for water utilities where the outputs of flowmeters and water meters are converted into a 4-20mA signal for telemetry purposes. The C16-10 is suitable for many applications where an analogue signal proportional to frequency or pulse rate is required, for example interfacing PLCs and other control and m... [more]

Wieland Electric's new SNS 4074K safely switches off any dangerous movement when the limit frequency set on the safety module is exceeded
Designed to protect machine operators from dangerous movement, standstill monitors are predominantly used in the control of tumblers in electric locking facilities. Access to dangerous machine parts is only possible when the machine movement no longer poses a threat to the operator. Wieland Electric's new SNS 4074K monitors the pulse frequency of sensors, such as inductive and magneto-resistive proximity switches and incremental encoders, saf... [more]
