Why Do Signal Conditioners Exist?

Signal conditioners ensure smooth communication between the field device and the

control unit using galvanic isolation

They convert, isolate, split, boost, and step down process signals so field instruments

can interface directly with indicators, recorders, DCS, PLC, and PC-based SCADA

systems

Why do we need Signal Conditioning?

7

Solutions for all common analog signal conditioning requirements

Isolation

Eliminate ground loops and common mode noise

Isolate multiple signals on same power source

Transmission

Eliminate noise and reduce expensive thermocouple/RTD cable when there are long distances between field sensing device and controller

Transmission of data via Hart protocol

Conversion and Amplification

Convert a variety of analog measurement data to a standard current signal (0-10 VDC to 4-20mA, etc.)

Allows for low cost expansion in an established process by utilizing available I/O Modules

Signal splitting

Provides for local monitoring/alarms

Analog Signal Conditioners are PROBLEM SOLVERS!

Tip for: System Architectures / Panel Designers

When using non-isolated 1756 ControlLogix I/O cards (to reduce

overall per I/O price point)

For example: 8 point analog input card1756-IF8 is non-isolated

(cost effective, list price $1160.00) than Isolated 1756-IF8I (costs

more, list price $2170.00)

Consider using 931H isolators (where appropriate) to add isolation to

your circuits (you may only need to provide isolation for select circuits)

Be more cost effective in your quotes/bids!

Intrinsic Safety Definition

An intrinsically safe circuit shall not be capable of causing ignition in normal operation and

fault condition in the surrounding hazardous atmospheres by

Sparks (opening, closing, short circuit, short circuit to earth)

or

High temperature of apparatus and conduits

Intrinsic safety is based on the principle of preventing an effective source of ignition. The

electrical energy is kept below the minimum ignition energy required for each hazardous

area. Safe Area or Division 2, Zone 2

How do we reduce or eliminate wiring work?Consider 2 wires for 24VDC for each module…

Too many power wires! Is there a way to simplify the wiring?

Required for all “Complex Apparatus” e.g. Proximity/NAMUR Sensors, Solenoids, I/P Positioners, etc. Sensors must be Ex ‘i’ ratedMost of the sensors fall in this category – IS Barrier/Isolator required

Not required for all “Simple Apparatus” e.g. Simple Pushbutton, Thermocouple, LED, (non energy storing or releasing)Ordinary components without EX rating are acceptable – IS Barrier/Isolator required A small number of sensors may belong in this category per NEC criteria

Intrinsic Safety is a method of “prevention” The requirement for design is to limit energy to 50% or less of the Minimum Ignition

Energy (MIE) An IS circuit consists of only 3 elements:

I.S. device (sensor or equipment), associated apparatus (barrier or isolated barrier), and interconnecting wire

Two types of I.S. field devices: Simple apparatus and Complex apparatus

What do you need to remember about IS Technique?

Galvanic Isolation Noise immunity (restoring signal integrity) Signal Conditioning (conversion of specialty signal) Switch amplifiers Easy to install Easy to Maintain

What do you need to remember about IS Barriers / Isolators?
