See Product Details

The Dataforth family of DSCA isolated analog DIN rail mount signal conditioning modules provide Instrument Class® performance and are designed for data acquisition, test and measurement, and control system applications.

Superior DSCA specifications include:

  • ±0.03% Accuracy (Typical)
  • ±0.01% Linearity
  • 1500Vrms Transformer Isolation & 240Vrms Field-Side Protection
  • ANSI/IEEE C37.90.1 Transient Protection
  • True 3-Way Isolation
  • Wide Supply Voltage, 15V to 30VDC
  • Industry Standard Output of 0 to 10V ±10V, 0 to 20mA, or 4 to 20mA
  • 4- to 6-Pole Low-Pass Filtering
  • Low Output Noise
  • -40°C to +80°C Operating Temperature
  • Plug-in Terminal Blocks to Simplify Wiring

The 370+ models in the DSCA signal conditioner family accept millivolt, volt, milliamp, RTD, thermocouple, potentiometer, strain gage, DC LVDT, frequency, AC to True RMS and two-wire transmitter inputs. Voltage input conditioners accept signals from ±10mV to ±40V, and current input conditioners accept signals of 0 to 20mA. Accepted thermocouple types are J, K, T, E, R, S, B, and N. RTDs can be 2- or 3-wire; potentiometer inputs can range from 0-100 ohms to 0-10k ohms, and strain gage transducers can have a resistance range of 100 ohms through 10k ohms. The DC LVDT module provides excitation and accepts input ranges from ±1V to ±10V. Frequency input signals can be TTL or zero crossing. The two-wire transmitter module provides loop power and accepts a 4 to 20mA input signal. Isolated field-side current and voltage outputs also are available.

All DSCA modules have excellent stability over time and do not require recalibration. However, multi-turn potentiometers are accessible and provide non-interactive zero and span settings adjustable up to ±5% for situations requiring fine tuning.

Signal bandwidth is 3Hz for most models; the exceptions being 100Hz for current input and two-wire transmitter interface modules, and 3kHz for strain gage and DC LVDT modules. Output noise is as low as 250µVrms on the low bandwidth models.

The DSCA module measures 2.95" x 0.89" x 4.13" (75mm x 22.5mm x 105mm). The operating and storage temperature range is -40°C to +80°C, and relative humidity can be up to 95% noncondensing. All modules mount to the standard DIN EN 50022 35mm rail. They are C-UL-US listed and CE and ATEX compliant.

Dataforth was established in 1984 and is the world leader in data acquisition, signal conditioning and data communication products for industrial applications. Worldwide, our electronic data acquisition, signal conditioning, and data communication products provide rugged signal and data integrity and wide spectrum accuracy.
