Figure 1. 3B45 & 3B46 Functional Block Diagram APPLICATIONS Industrial signal conditioning Industrial signal isolation Industrial signal filtering PRODUCT OVERVIEW The 3B Series of Signal Conditioning I/o Subsystems provide a low-cost, versatile method of transferring analog transducer signals to a data acquisition, monitoring or control system without the inherent noise, non-linearity, drift and extraneous voltages. The modules are designed to directly accept analog signals from Thermocouples, RTD’s, AC and DC Strain Gages, Torque Transducers, Frequency Transducers, LVDTs, millivolt or process current signals. The modules amplify, isolate, linearize and convert the transducer output signals to standardized analog inputs for high-level analog I/O subsystems. The 3B Series Subsystem consists of a 10” relay rack with universal mounting backplane and a family of plug-in (up to 16 per rack) input and output signal conditioning modules. Eight and four channel backplanes are also available. Each backplane incorporates screw terminals for sensor inputs and current outputs and a 26-pin connector for high-level singleended voltage outputs to the user’s equipment. The input modules feature complete signal conditioning circuitry optimized for specific sensors or analog signals and provide two simultaneous high-level analog outputs: 0 to +10V (or +10V) and 4-20 mA (or 0-20 mA). Output modules accept 0 to +10V (or +10V) single-ended signals and provide an isolated 4-20 mA (or 0-20 mA) process signal. All modules feature a universal pin-out and may be readily hot-swapped under full power and interchanged without disrupting field wiring. The Analog Devices 3B Series Signal Conditioning Subsystem is designed to easily handle signal conditioning problems in measurement and control applications. Some typical uses are in microcomputer-based data acquisition systems, programmable controllers, analog recorders, dedicated control systems, and any other applications where monitoring of temperature, pressure, flow and analog signals are required. Since each input module features two simultaneous outputs, the voltage output can be used to provide an input to a microprocessor-based data acquisition or control system while the current output can be used for analog transmission, operator interface, or an analog backup system. Each input module is a single-channel signal conditioner which plugs into a socket on the backplane and accepts its signal from the input screw terminals. All input modules provide input protection, amplification and filtering of the input signal, accuracy of +0.1%, low drift of +1 uV/ oC (low-level input modules), and feature two high-level analog outputs that are compatible with most process instrumentation. The isolated input modules also provide +1500 V peak isolation. The choice of a specific 3B module depends upon the type of input signal. Input modules are available to accept millivolt, volt, process current, thermocouple, RTD, AC and DC strain gage, frequency and LVDT inputs. The voltage output of each module is available from the system I/O connector while the current output is available on the output screw terminals.

Signals of virtually any wave shape that exceed the combined threshold and hysteresis levels (Vt + Vh) will trigger a comparator at a rate determined by the input frequency. The comparator output is then transmitted across a proprietary transformer-coupled isolation barrier. 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 voltage; this output also drives a voltage-to-current (V/I) converter to provide a simultaneous current output for interfacing versatility. The 3B45 and 3B46 are single-channel isolated frequency input moduels which produce simultaneous precision voltage and current outputs proportional to input frequency. Model 3B45 accepts full-scale inputs ranging from 25 Hz to 1100 Hz, while Model 3B46 accepts full-scale input from 520 Hz to 25kHz. Both models enable the user to set the threshold to either 0 V (for zero crossing signals) or +1.6 V (for positive level signals), and the hysteresis to either 0 or +4 V. Hysteresis can be set for any value within this range using the supplied AC1310 ranging card. The 3B45 and 3B46 shield their computer side outputs from damage and loss of signal integrity from field-side overvoltage faults, withstanding up to 220 V rms at their input terminals. The current output withstands 130 V rms without damage and interfaces user equipment through screw terminal connections. In addition, all 3B45 and 3B46 models are plug-in, mix-and-match and hot-swappable, so each can be inserted or removed from any socket in the same backplane without disrupting system power. Setting the threshold value is a simple matter of externally wiring to the 3B Series backplane screw terminals. The threshold for measuring a zero-crossing voltage waveform (such as sine waves) can be set to 0 volts by connecting terminal 3 to terminal 4. The threshold for a positive level signal (such as a TTL or pulse train waveform) can be set at +1.6 V by connecting terminals 1 and 2. Hysteresis for both input signal types is set at 0 V, but can be changed to +4V by removing the jumper that is installed on the AC1310 ranging card shipped with each unit. 3B Series Custom-Ranging Program – Externallyprogrammable Model 3B45-00 and 3B46-00 enable the user to configure a special input range by using the supplied plug-on AC1310 ranging card, which houses user-supplied resistors to determine hysteresis, zero and span. To facilitate selecting resistors, a Windows program, 3B-CUSTOM, calculates resistor values based on the user-desired input/output ranges. The 3B45 and 3B46 compare the input signal to the user. .
