8B modules are an optimal solution for monitoring real-world process signals and providing high-level signals to a data acquisition system. Each 8B39 current output module accepts an input signal from a non-isolated source, then isolates, filters, and converts the signal to an analog process current output.
Signal filtering is accomplished on the 8B39 current output module with a 3-pole filter optimized for time and frequency response which provides 60dB per decade of normal-mode rejection above 100Hz. One pole of this filter is on the system side and the other two are on the isolated field side.
A special output circuit in the 8B39 current output module provides protection against accidental connection of power-line voltages up to 40V AC continuous. Clamp circuits on the I/O and power terminals protect against harmful transients.
The 8B39 current output module is designed for installation in Class I, Division 2 hazardous locations and have a high level of immunity to environmental noise.
A wide range of backpanels, DIN rail mounting options, cables, racks, power supplies and other accessory items are available for the 8B39 current output module.
