Signal Conditioners Series Selection Guide | Products

Signal Conditioners

Converting measured signals to desired signals.

Signal conditioners convert a field signal from various sensors into standard signal suitable for processing in PLC, DCS or PC-based systems. They are also used to boost a signal to increase load drive capability, to isolate a signal to stop ground loops.
More than 75000 combinations of process signal I/O, power input and mounting configuration are selectable. Additionally, we offer the broadest line of signal splitters available.
