ACCES I/O announces LVDT-8A LVDT signal conditioner
SAN DIEGO, Calif. - June 13, 2007 - ACCES I/O Products Inc., introduces its newly designed LVDT signal conditioner board, Model LVDT-8A. This user-friendly board offers any position measurement requirement a simple, accurate, and easy-to-use solution at a great price. Eight channels of signal conditioning on one board results in a price per channel of under $100. The elimination of multiplexer circuitry on the board provides enhanced capability of simultaneous outputs that directly correspond to the sensed positions in a real-time environment. Removable screw-terminal blocks are used on the LVDT-8A board to allow convenient connection to linear variable differential transformers (LVDTs) through screw terminals. Use of five on-board LEDs verifies the full voltage range of the LVDT providing validation of functionality and input circuit connection. ACCES has designed the LVDT-8A to be the ideal signal conditioner for use in factory automation environments such as automotive, machining, inspection, weighing and process control.

The board is packaged in a rugged industrial enclosure that offers physical protection and features a DIN rail-mounting provision for industrial environments. Accessories include an assortment of 37-pin ribbon cables for connecting the conditioned outputs to a variety of readily available analog-to-digital converter products. ACCES offers a broad range of A/D products using USB, RS-485, PCI, PC/104, Ethernet, 900MHz/2.4GHz wireless and even ISA bus types.

Key features include:
  • Eight channels of AC LVDT conditioning
  • Removable screw-terminal blocks for easy connection and serviceability
  • Use easily with PLC or PC-based data acquisition systems
  • Real-time, simultaneous outputs
  • Compatible with other ACCES A/D products for legacy systems using DB37M
  • LED display utility for quick and easy verification of connected LVDTs
  • Factory-set oscillator frequency per channel from 20Hz to 20KHz
  • ±10VDC or ±5VDC outputs including wide range calibration pots
  • Excellent temperature stability
  • Operates on 24VDC power, factory options for 12VDC, ±12VDC or 48VDC
  • Reverse input power protection to eliminate misconnection worries
  • Includes rugged, industrial enclosure for physical protection and mounting
  • DIN rail-mounting provision

    No software is necessary to start using the LVDT-8A. It can be utilized right out of the box. A user friendly setup program and user manual is included with each shipment. The setup program can be used to help with the selection of application-specific options and the user manual contains full details on the board’s operation.

    ACCES I/O Products, Inc. supplies an extensive range of analog, digital, serial communication, and isolated I/O boards and solutions. ACCES also offers complete systems, integration services and enclosures with a quick turn-around on custom projects including software.
