Four-Channel D/A Convertor product sheet

Four-Channel Digital-to-Analog
Convertor for the Siemens
Digital Level Sensor
Providing for interface-to-analog SCADA systems
The digital-to-analog convertor is a solidstate, stand-alone interface board that
polls the Siemens digital level sensor
(DLS) and outputs a 4-20mA analog signal
for use by SCADA systems having only
analog inputs available. The interface
board can poll up to four digital level
sensors and output up to four analog signals. The analog signal can output level or
temperature data from a particular sensor.
