Signal converter

Signal converter SK 1A-1S1D2RS Analog - HTL / RS422, SSI, RS232 / RS485

The SK 1A-1S1D2RS is a universal converter for analog input

signals from ±10 V or 0/4 ... 20 mA. This module converts analog
signals in a digital format (frequency, position or angular position).
The output format can be an incremental signal or an absolute
value in SSI format.
In addition, the result of the conversion can be read via a serial
RS232 or RS485 interface or via a USB port.
The module can be easily and conveniently mounted in a cabinet
on a standard DIN rail.

Characteristics Benefits
• Motor potentiometer function. • Digitization of analog signals.
• Analog input suitable for voltage, current or potentiometer • Rescaling of analog signals.
operation.
• Output operating modes: frequency generator, motor
potentiometer, position or angle sensor or measurement data
acquisition.
• Programmable characteristic U/f curve and possibility of
generating repetitive frequency sweeps.
• Frequency output (HTL or TTL, max. 1 MHz) proportional to the
input signal.
• Incremental encoder output and SSI interface for displaying a
position or an angular position.
• Incremental direction information A, B depending on the input
signal and on the programmed conversion range.
• USB programming interface and serial interface (RS232 / RS485).
• Programmable zero pulse (0, /0).
