MEDACS2300 Signal Conditioner

Brand: Status Instruments
Does not ship to United States

The MEDACS intelligent signal conditioner consists of a family of DIN rail modules, each one having a high degree of functionality and configurability via a RS485 MODBUS serial communications interface or through push buttons on the single channel version.

They are suitable for RTD, thermocouple, voltage, current and frequency signals and provide an isolated 4-20 mA re-transmission signal, 2 changeover trip relays or 4 normally open relays or various combinations.

For high density systems, dual channel versions are available or for systems that require more local input, single channel versions with an in-built keypad and digital display are available where functions can be accessed via the front panel keys.

Each unit comes complete with a RS485 serial communications port which enables the devices to be integrated into a complete process control system.

Unit wiring is simplified and speeded up by using the integral 'bus jumper' system provided with each unit which removes the need for complicated and expensive back plane wiring.
