Temperature signal conditioners receive AC and DC voltages and signal inputs from resistance temperature detectors (RTDs), thermocouples, thermistors, and other sensors. They provide voltage, frequency, and current outputs to devices such as timers, counters, relays, and potentiometers. Temperature signal conditioning devices filter, amplify, and convert analog inputs to digital signals, or to levels suitable for digitization. Devices that include integral sensors or transducers often provide voltage and current excitation. Temperature signal conditioners work with 2, 3, and 4-wire RTDs that are made from a variety of metals and that feature a variety of reference resistances. They can receive signal inputs from thermocouples with or without cold junction compensation, and from thermocouples with types E, J, K, N, T, B, S, R, and W. |
Products & Services Related to Temperature Signal Conditioners
Analog-to-Digital Converters
Analog-to-digital converters (ADC) sample an analog signal and convert it to a series of digital values to represent the signal to a computer processor.
Bridge Conditioners
Bridge conditioners are instruments that provide excitation and support for strain gages, Wheatstone bridges, load cells, and sensors. They also include circuitry for signal conditioning, amplification, and processing.
Charge Amplifiers and Charge Converters
Charge converters and charge amplifiers convert the charge output from a piezoelectric, capacitive or other charge-producing sensor to a signal such as analog voltage or current.
Data Acquisition
Data acquisition is the digitizing and processing of multiple sensor or signal inputs for the purpose of monitoring, analyzing and/or controlling systems and processes. Signal conditioning includes the amplification, filtering, converting, and other processes required to make sensor output suitable for rereading by computer boards.
Signal Filters
Signal filters block or decrease (attenuate) unwanted frequencies or signal wave characteristics.
Voltage-to-Frequency Converters
Voltage-to-frequency converters accept a voltage signal and convert its analog level to a signal with a corresponding frequency.
