Gandhinagar, Indiabased Masibus Automation and Instrumentation Pvt Ltd offers SignalIsolator.

Details:

MasibusSignalIsolator, Model 9000U,is a rugged 4-wireisolatordesigned to accept custom-built and a wide range of
voltage and current input signals. Signal is then isolated and converted to standard instrumentation signals,
acceptable to commercially off the shelf (COTS) automation products.

ThisSignalIsolatorenables analogue signals to transmit without galvanic connection between the field and the
receiving instrument. This in turn allows ground or reference levels to float up to thousands of volts at its input
terminals, and prevents circulating current between differing round potentials that can contaminate input signal.

Model 9000 U will isolate the contaminated signal to a clean signal for accurate measurement and control
application.Isolationprovided by this saves the control system from damage due to accidental application of high
voltage or induced voltages on the input signal and in turn avoids wrong output signals to process.

They also act as signal distributors when used with more number of outputs.

Model 9000U series is available with multiple outputs up to 2 for signal distribution. Model 9000U offers a wide range
of input/ output signal types include mA, mV, V DC.

Built-in transmitter power supply (TPS) can drive field transmitters in case of 4-20 mA DC input. Model 9000U offers
excellent accuracy and stability for reliable operation in hostile environments and fullisolationsafely separates each
input channel, each output channel and the power supply.

Features: rugged and accurate 4-wireisolator; three portisolation; accepts non-standard signal input option; input –
voltage ±10mV to ±600V DC, current ±1mA to ±100mA; mains/DC operated; up to 2 outputs of different types
available; DIN rail/back panel mounted; duplexisolatorversion option; and wide zero and span adjustment limits.

How it works: 
          first signal transmitter or instrument, through the modulation transform
semiconductor devices, and then a sense of light perception or magnetic separation
device converting, and then transform back to before isolation, and to demodulate the
original signal, while After the signal of isolation to isolate the power supply handle.
Ensure that the transformed signal, power, ground between the absolute
independence. 
Function: 
1: Protection of subordinate control loop. 
II: weakening of environmental noise on the test circuit. 
3: Inhibition of common ground, inverter, electromagnetic pulse valve and the
equipment of unknown interference; also has a limited pressure on the lower level
device, the function of the amount of flow transmitters, instrument, transducer,
solenoid valve PLC / DCS input-output and communication interface faithful protection. 
Standard series rail structure, easy to install, can effectively isolate: input, output and
power supply and ground potential between. Able to overcome all kinds of high and low
frequency transducer and the pulse noise interference. 

The main types of signal isolators What? 

1) Isolators: 
          industrial instrumentation for the increased connection load capacity and to
ensure no interference between the same signal meter to improve electrical safety
performance. Need to input voltage, current, or frequency, resistance and other signal
acquisition, amplification, operation, and for excision, then the output current and
voltage signal isolation, security, given secondary instrument or plc \ dcs use. 
2) with electrical appliances: 
        industrial site generally require a two-wire transmission, both for the transmitter
to provide such an instrument 24V distribution power, at the same time the input
current signal acquisition, amplification, operation, and for excision, then the output
current and voltage signal isolation for subsequent secondary instrument or other
instrument to use. 
3) Safety Barrier: 
          some special industrial site (such as gas and chemical plants) not only requires
two-wire transmission, both to provide another signal distribution power isolation, and
also need to have Anquan spark explosion-proof performance, reliable power to curb
power supply to prevent power supply, signal and ground between the ignition limit,
double step-down limit signal and power circuit to limit access to dangerous places in
the safety of the fixed energy range. 

Signal Isolator installation and maintenance should be noted that what matters? 
        as various manufacturer's production process on the isolators, wiring definition is
not all the same, but using the same occasion, so the product requirements and to
maintain the same protection. 
1. Instructions should be read carefully before use. 
2. When used as a signal isolation, shouldInput string into the loop circuit, sampling
circuit output termination. 
3. When used as a separate distribution, should be input into the power supply circuit,
the output termination transmitter. 
4. Work should first check if the wiring is correct, pay attention to whether and polarity
power supply anyway. 

Why sometimes PLC receives the signal error of the field is large and poor stability? 
          many reasons for this phenomenon, different instrument signal potential
difference between the reference point is the important factor. Because of this "bad"
cause interference between the current meter signals, resulting in large errors and poor
stability PLC. Therefore, different devices, instrument signals have a common reference
point is the best situation. Isolation allows input / output electrical completely isolated
analog interface board in the PLC to form a common reference point to achieve the
desired state problem solved. 

On 4-20mA channel isolation, and there is no place in the power rack space, and how to
do? 
A passive signal isolator, it can achieve 4-20mA signal isolation and no external power
supply. PH1033 is that such products. 

Now the market has so many brands of isolators, the price varied, how to choose? 
          isolators located between the two systems channel, so select the isolator must
first determine the input and output functions, while keeping the isolator input and
output mode (voltage, current, loop-powered type, etc.) meet the front and back
channel interface mode. There are also precision power ﹑ ﹑ ﹑ bus noise, dielectric
strength, and many other important communications related to product performance
parameters, such as: noise and accuracy of the power consumption and reliability of
the heat, which requires users to carefully choose. In short, application, reliability,
product cost is the main principle of selection isolator. 
DCS received live-wire pressure transmitter signal instability, how to solve? 
            wire transmitters used in industrial automation and high frequency, the same
equipment and other industrial field, there are wire transmitter interference and
interference problems. DCS simulation model based on plate interfaces (current-type or
loop-powered type) used with electrical isolation of different functions, in principle,
required to give both the transmitter to provide isolated power supply, ensure that each
transmitter has an independent power supply, but also able to isolate the transmitter
signal transmission to the DCS. 

PLC analog circuit board interface is a second-line power supply, and the need for signal
isolation, how should use product? 
          wire loop power supply is a common analog interface. And the interface with the
right products as wire loop isolation products.This isolation transmitter isolation devices
are used within the transformer approach, on the one hand passing the signal, on the
other side of the power supply will also be sent to the input part of the input part of the
various circuits to work properly. Case of PH2217 and other electrical products
distribution. 

There are several commonly used with electrical wire? 

          common wire with electrical isolation for two series of varieties to choose from.
The two series have in common is they were able to isolate the external power supply
by post to the two-wire transmitter to provide a separate isolated power supply;
transmitter distribution depends on the site are with PLC, DCS analog input.

Galvanic isolation
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Transformer is the most widespread example of a galvanic isolation.

Galvanic isolation is the principle of isolating functional sections of electrical systems preventing the moving of charge-carrying

particles from one section to another, i.e. there is no electric currentflowing directly from one section to the next. Energy and/or

information can still be exchanged between the sections by other means, e.g. capacitance, induction, electromagnetic waves,

optical, acoustic, or mechanical means.

Galvanic isolation is used in situations where two or more electric circuits must communicate, but their grounds may be at

different potentials. It is an effective method of breaking ground loops by preventing unwanted current from travelling between two

units sharing a ground conductor. Galvanic isolation is also used for safety considerations, preventing accidental current from

reaching the ground (the building floor) through a person's body.

[edit]Overview

Phototransistor are often used to driveHVDC networks

 Transformers couple by magnetic flux. Primary and secondary side have no electrical connection. The isolation voltage

(industry standard) is measured in kilovolt. The same applies to transductors.

 Optocouplers transmit information by light waves. The sender (light source) and receiver (photosensitive device) are

electrically isolated by an electric field. As it is possible for some capacitors to fail short circuit, there are special ratings for

capacitors used for isolation, such as "Class Y" .

 Autotransformers do not provide galvanic isolation.

 If two electronic systems have a common ground, they are not galvanically isolated (by definition). The common ground

might not have connection to functional poles, but might become connected at an undefined point of time. For this

reason Isolation transformers do notsupply a GND/earth pole.

 Magnetocoupler uses Giant magnetoresistance (GMR) to couple from AC down to DC.

[edit]Applications

 Optocouplers to decouple a secondary function block from a primary function block, connected to the power grid (or high

voltage).

 Optocouplers to decouple one signal potential from another signal potential.

 Transformers to allow the output of a device to "float" relative to ground to avoid potential ground loops.

 Transformers to increase the safety of a device, so that a person touching a live portion of the circuit will not have current

flow through them to earth.

 Power sockets intended for electric razor supply must employ a residual-current device or an isolation transformer (to

prevent an electric shock if the razor should be dropped into water).

 Yachts connected to improper grounded shore supply systems should employ a galvanic isolator to isolate from any stray

currents in the marina (either from the shore mains or neighbouring yachts). Without the isolator, a galvanic corrosion path may

be created damaging metal equipment below the waterline. Zinc anodes may help to prevent this, but often prove insufficient

when the yacht stays in the marina for extended periods.
