GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The IAMA can isolate and convert over 35 combinations of analog signal
ranges. The IAMA converts and transmits signals linearly proportional to the
input. DIP switch range selection eliminates the need to order and stoc
different modules for each input and output signal range, and allows quic and
convenient setup for over 35 standard signal conversions. In addition to the
conversion capabilities, the IAMA modules feature optically isolated
Input/Output signal circuits and isolated Power to Input, Power to Output
circuits. The modules’ overall full scale accuracy typically exceed 0.04%. DIN
rail mounting saves time and panel space. The units are equipped with universal
mounting feet for attachment to standard top hat profile rail according to
EN50022 - 35x7.5.

INPUTS
The IAMA accepts a full range of process signal inputs and isolates and
converts these signals to common industrial control signals. The input signal
combinations are configured by ma ing specific DIP switch selections on the 6
and 2 position DIP switches.
OUTPUTS
As with the input choices, the process signal output of the modules is DIP
switch selectable. The maximum output current signal is 28 mA with =500 Ω
output resistance and the maximum output voltage signal is 12.5 V with =10 KΩ
output resistance. The transmission error without adjustment is < 0.4%. Using
the potentiometer, the error can be adjusted to < 0.1%.

APPLICATION
Cost efficiency measurements of a printing company included the reduction
of bul stoc of the various in s used in their printing processes. The company
currently had various in flow and level devices with different current and
voltage outputs and wanted to record these measurements into a control
room PC. Several IAMA Universal Signal Conditioning Modules were
the answer. The IAMA’s universal input allowed for easy signal
conditioning of the various output signals to the required PC’s Bus
Board 0 to 10 VDC input signal. In this case, the IAMA’s re-
transmitted 0 to 10 VDC output was field calibrated, negating the
expense and time required to rewrite the PC’s software
parameters. In addition to accepting multiple signal types,
the IAMA also provides the necessary electrical isolation
between the control room PC and the hazards of the
printing floor electrical noise.
WIRING CONNECTIONS
Primary power is connected to terminals 7 or 3 (19.2 – 30 VDC) and 8 or 4
(GND 3). For best results, the power should be relatively “clean” and within the
specified variation limits. Drawing power from heavily loaded circuits or from
circuits that also power loads that cycle on and off, should be avoided.
The input signal is connected to pins 1 (In U,I) and 2 (GND 1). Connections
for the output signal are made on pins 5 (Out U,I) and 6 (GND 2).
INSTALLATION
The unit is equipped with a universal mounting foot for attachment to
standard DIN style top hat (T) profile rail according to EN50022 - 35 x 7.5 and
35 x 15. The unit should be installed in a location that does not exceed the
maximum operating temperature and provides good air circulation. Placing the
unit near devices that generate excessive heat should be avoided.
T Rail Installation
To install the IAMA on a “T”
style rail, angle the module so that
the top groove of the “foot” is
located over the lip of the top rail.
Push the module toward the rail
until it snaps into place. To
remove a module from the rail,
insert a screwdriver into the slot
on the bottom of the “foot”, and
pry upwards on the module until it
releases from the rail.
