Acromag microBlox uB isolated signal conditioning modules

A full line of microBlox isolated signal conditioning modules is now available from Acromag. Offering over 175 models, the microBlox uB modules can safely interface a wide variety of voltage, current, temperature, frequency and other field signals with a ±5 V or 0–5 VDC output to host measurement and control systems.

Users can select modules with fixed ranges or wireless configuration via Bluetooth wireless technology on an Android or iOS mobile device. Acromag’s free Agility app for smartphones and tablets simplifies setting custom I/O ranges and optional alarm functions. The app can also display input signal values and create sharable trend charts.

The modules snap securely into compact back panels (no screws) in any mix with 4-, 8- or 16-channel capacities. With 1500 VAC peak (350 VDC continuous) channel-to-channel and field-to-host isolation, the hot-swappable modules are suitable to front-end data acquisition systems or Acromag remote I/O for communication to Ethernet, Modbus or Profibus networks. High performance is assured with up to 0.05% accuracy and 130 dB noise rejection.

The module’s small size and channel-by-channel scalability is suited to embedded or portable applications such as test stands, defence systems and process control applications. Suitable for use in harsh industrial environments, the overmoulded modules resist shock, dirt and moisture with dependable operation from -40 to 85°C.
