A true all-rounder: new BA87 measuring transducer

Programmable measuring transducers are used to process analog signals. Until now, ipf electronic only offered devices that were designed for front panel installation. Mounting on a top hat rail could only be realized in combination with a corresponding holder.

 

With the new BA870100, this step is now completely eliminated, as a DIN rail housing is now standard for the device. At the same time, the new product series offers significantly more functions than its predecessors. The advantages are obvious: time savings thanks to simple installation and cost savings thanks to more functionality and therefore more potential applications for the BA870100. The intuitive color TFT display (display languages German, English, French and Spanish) and navigation via three menu buttons continue to ensure easy handling and quick configuration of the device. Two optionally linkable analog inputs, either voltage or current, with freely selectable units and an external teach input with optional zero point function enable the recording of a wide range of possible input signals.

 

Four digital outputs and an analog output, which can be used as a voltage and current output on two terminals, pass on the signals. They can be assigned to any of these inputs in any combination. A 10-bit A/D transformer ensures the appropriate resolution of the required signal.

 

Another new feature is the ability to switch the output signals in any desired form (NPN/ PNP, normally closed (nc) / normally open (nc), time functions). By additionally parameterizing the switch-on and switch-off points, as well as a hysteresis or window function, it is possible to further transform the output signals.
