TRANSDUCERS AND MEASUREMENT TRANSMISSIONS BORE GAUGES LINE the sensor to be connected to. In this way the machine downtime is dramatically reduced, thanks to quicker installation and maintenance operations. SENSORS COMPATIBILITY FORKS AND RING GAUGES Both LVDT (full bridge) and HBT(half bridge) sensors can be connected to the TCI 1. The compatibility is also extended to other brands such as Solartron, Tesa, etc. Please specify on the purchase order the transducer model/brand to be connected to the TCI 1, in order to perform an ad-hoc calibration. OUTPUT SIGNAL The TCI 1 is manufactured with two different output signals: • Tension (±5V or ±10V) • Current (4-20mA). BENCH GAUGES POWER SUPPLY The electrical supply is provoded by means of the same connector used for the output signal. The TCI 1 can be ordered both in dual voltage mode (±15V/±12V) and single voltage mode (24V). INDICATORS AND ELECTRONIC DISPLAY UNITS TCI 1 stands for “Transducer Conditioning Interface” at one channel. It has been developed with technical and functional features particularly suitable to convert a position measurement in a signal compatible with most of the analog cards for data acquisition. The output of this unit provides a direct electric signal (tension or current), proportional to the measurement of the sensor at the input stage. The output signal can be fetched by PLC analog cards, in order to control and manage process automations and to be further elaborated by systems such SCADA supervisors. The TCI 1 is a PLUG&PLAY unit. It is delivered specifically calibrated for HOW TO ORDER A MODULE EXAMPLE 6 7 4 6 6 7 4 6 LVDT 1 CHANNEL ±1 mm 24 V MARPOSS CURRENT 4-20 mA T 0 N 0 X 1 A C 1 0 U 2 6 7 4 6 N X A C U 0 1 LVDT HBT 1 CH ±0,5 ±1 ±1,5 ±2,5 ±5 ±1,5 24 V T 0 V / ±12 V MARPOSS MICROCONTROL SOLARTRON MERCER TESA ±5 ±10 4-20 mA 0 1 2 3 4 INTERFACE BOXES FOR DATA ACQUISITION The code to order a TCI 1 is defined by means of the following specification. 1.
