Motrona’s signal converters are characterized by a fast conversion time, a wide bandwidth and maximum flexibility classed among the World’s Best in industrial automation.

For requirements demanding safe processing and reliable transmission of encoder and sensor signals their signal splitter, frequency multipliers, pulse dividers, level converters and measuring amplifiers have no peers.

Signal converters from Motrona convince by easy handling and simple set-up of parameters whereby scaling is performed by DIL switches or TEACH buttons. Programmable linearization, digital filters or window functions are further features of their complex modules.

Possible Combinations with Signal Converters

Below are a few examples of possible combinations between converters and indicator units. Such combinations of two units may be very useful for solving applications when no other suitable converters are available on the market.

The examples below should be considered as suggestions. Where you see “PROFIBUS”, a similar combination would e.g. also work with  PC or PLC or other controls by serial link.

All examples are based on the fact that all motrona units with serial interfaces can communicate with each other. However please keep in mind that serial data exchange will always need a few milliseconds, which will reduce the applicability of combinations in case of critical real-time requirements.

Example 1: Display and/or Conversion of Parallel Data
