FOXBORO P0926HW module

Product Overview

A Foxboro field-mounted current-to-pneumatic signal converter is an industrial device that converts an electrical current signal (typically 4-20 mA) into a proportional pneumatic pressure signal. This conversion is essential in many industrial processes where electronic control systems need to interface with pneumatic actuators or valves.  

Key Features and Specifications

• Input Signal: Typically a 4-20 mA DC current signal.

   

• Output Signal: A proportional pneumatic pressure signal (e.g., 3-15 psi).

   

• Enclosure: Often designed for harsh industrial environments, with options for explosion-proof or weatherproof housings.

   

• Mounting: Field-mounted, allowing for direct installation in process areas.

   

• Accuracy: High accuracy to ensure precise control.

   

• Reliability: Built to withstand vibration, temperature extremes, and other industrial conditions.

• Customization: Various options for input/output ranges, materials of construction, and mounting configurations.

Advantages

• Versatility: Can be used in a wide range of industries and applications.

• Reliability: Ensures accurate and reliable signal conversion.

• Durability: Designed for harsh industrial environments.

• Flexibility: Can be customized to meet specific application requirements.
