The Voltage Transducer PCE-SCI-F records frequency and pulse signals and converts them into an analogue output signal. NPN, PNP, NAMUR, TTL, pick-up and push-pull signals are supported, as are mechanical contacts and reed contacts. An additional input enables frequency measurement on AC voltage signals of up to 600V AC. This makes the Voltage Transducer PCE-SCI-F suitable, for example, for evaluating speed encoders, flow sensors and mains frequencies.
The output signal is selectable as 4 … 20 mA, active or passive, or as 0 … 10V DC. The input and output ranges can be adapted to the respective application. A selectable excitation voltage of 5V, 8.2 V or 15V DC is available to supply connected sensors. Input, output and power supply are galvanically isolated from one another.
Configuration is carried out directly on the Voltage Transducer PCE-SCI-F using three keys and a four-digit LED display. Predefined sensor settings and configuration codes make commissioning easier. The display can show, among other things, the input frequency, the output signal, the signal percentage or a scaled process value.
Password protection secures access to the configuration menu. The integrated "Force" functions allow output signals to be set manually in order to test downstream devices. In "SOS" mode, a fixed output signal can be set independently of the input for maintenance work. The unit is mounted on a 35 mm DIN rail and features a universal power supply of 18 … 265V AC/DC.
