APPLICATIONS Industrial signal conditioning Industrial signal isolation Industrial signal filtering PRODUCT OVERVIEW The 5B Series represents an innovative generation of low cost, high performance plug-in signal conditioners. Designed for industrial applications, these modules incorporate highly reliable transformer-based isolation and automated surfacemount manufacturing technology. They are compact, economical components whose performance exceeds that available from more expensive devices. Combining 1500 V rms continuous isolation, +0.05% calibrated accuracy, small size and low cost, the 5B Series is an attractive alternative to expensive signal conditioners and in-house designs All modules are potted and identical in pin-out and size (2.27” x 2.32” x 0.595”). They can be mixed and matched, permitting users to address their exact needs, and may be “hot swapped without disturbing field wiring or power. The isolated input modules provide 0 to +5V or +5V outputs and accept J, K, T, E, R, S, N, or B type thermocouples. These modules feature complete signal conditioning functions including 240 V rms input protection, filtering, chopper stabilized low drift +1 uV/oC amplification, 1500 V rms isolation, and sensor excitation when required. All modules feature excellent common mode rejection and meet industrial transient surge withstand specifications. Figure 1. 5B36 Functional Block Diagram There are also a number of backplanes and mounting sockets which provide a complete signal conditioning solution for end users. Each backplane incorporates screw terminals for field wiring inputs and outputs and cold junction sensors for thermocouple applications. These signal conditioners are designed to provide an easy and convenient solution to signal conditioning problems of both designers and end users in measurement and control applications. Typical uses include microcomputer-based measurement systems, standard data acquisition systems, programmable controllers, analog recorders and dedicated control systems. The 5 B series modules are ideally suited to applications where monitoring and control of temperature, pressure, flow, rotation and other analog signals are required. The 5B Series modules and backplanes are approved by Factory Mutual (FM) and the 5B Series modules are approved by the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) for use in Class 1, Division 2, Groups A, B, C, and D locations. These approvals certify that the 5B Series is suitable for use in locations where a hazardous concentration of flammable gas may exist only under fault conditions of operation. Equipment of this category is called “nonincendive” and they need no special enclosures or other physical safeguards. The 5B series modules and backplanes have been tested and passed the stringent heavy industrial requirements of the European Union’s electromagnetic compatibility (ENC) directive – EN50082-1 and EN50081-2. When used according to installation directions (refer to 5B series User Manual), any errors caused by EMI/RFI interference will be less than 0.1% of the full scale 5B measurement range for field strengths up to 10 V/M and frequencies up to 1 GHz.

The 5B36 is a single-channel signal conditioning module that amplifies, isolates, filters, buffers a wide variety of three-wire potentiometers and two-wire rheostats (slidewires). The module provides an accurately scaled, low-noise low-impedance output of 0 to +5V. Filtering and Protection – An optimized five-pole Butterworth filter (with a 4-Hz bandwidth) provides 116 dB of normal-mode rejection (noise on signal) at 60 Hz and 108 dB at 50. Output noise is an exceptionally low 0.3 mV pk-pk in a 100 kHz bandwidth and 6 mV pk-pk in a 5 MHz bandwidth. Accurate and Stable Performance – The 5B36 supplies protected potentiometer / slidewire excitation from a pair of closely matched precision current sources designed to cancel errors due to lead resistances. A low-drift chopper-stabilized differential amplifier allows use of a very low excitation current to minimize error due to potentiometer self-heating. The amplifiers low input offset drift (+0.004 Ω /oC) and gain drift of 30 ppm/oC assure accuracy over the full operating temperature range. The 5B36 protects the computer side from damage due to fieldside over-voltage faults. The module withstands 240V rms at the input terminals without damage, thereby shielding the internal computer-side circuitry from field-side over-voltage conditions. In addition, the 5B36 is mix-and-match and hot swappable with all other 5B Series modules, so can be inserted or removed from any socket in the same backplane without disrupting system power. True Three-Port Isolation – The floating, differential input circuit on the field side eliminates the need for any input grounding. Signal and power isolation by transformer coupling uses a proprietary modulation technique for linear, stable and reliable performance. A demodulator on the computer side of the signal transformer recovers the original signal, which is then filtered and buffered to provide a low-noise, low-impedance output signal. True three-port isolation (Input-Output-Power) includes common-mode rating of : 1500V rms between input- A series output switch eliminates the need for external multiplexing in many applications. The switch is turned on by an active-low enable input. If the switch is to be on at all times, the enable-input should be grounded to power common as it is on the 5B01 and 5B08 backplanes.. . .
