SCM5B Modules

Applications
Dataforth Corporation offers cost-effective, isolated industrial signal

conditioning modules. The SCM5B analog modules are form, fit, and functional
equivalents to similar products from other manufacturers. The product line
includes a complete selection of backpanel options, interface cables, racks,
fuses, jumpers, power supplies, and other accessory items.
Designed for Industrial Plant Environments
Improved SCM5B Analog Modules

Each SCM5B module provides a single channel of isolated analog input or
output. Input modules interface to all types of external sensors. The modules
filter, isolate, amplify, and convert the input signal to a high-level analog voltage
output. The output modules accept a high-level analog voltage signal from a host
system, then buffer, isolate, and amplify before providing a process current or
voltage output to field devices. Over 250 different SCM5B modules are available
encompassing a wide selection of isolated analog input and output functions.
Analog inputs include voltage and current in narrow and wide bandwidths,
thermocouple, RTD, accelerometer, potentiometer, strain gage, frequency and
2-wire transmitter. Custom I/O ranges are also available. All modules are CSA
C/US certified for safe operation in Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C, and D
hazardous environments. They are also CE and ATEX compliant.
Protects User Equipment from Lightning and

Heavy Equipment Power-Line Voltage
Reduces Electrical Noise in Measured Signals
Convenient System Expansion and Repair
Accessories include addressable and non-addressable single, dual, 8- and 16channel backpanels which include on-board temperature sensors and cold
junction thermocouple compensation, power supplies, mounting racks,
interface cables, and evaluation boards.
Dataforth SCM5B modules offer several advantages when compared with
competitive parts, while maintaining equivalent price:
50 times better noise rejection by using a 6-pole filter with 95dB
NMR, versus a 3-pole filter with 60dB NMR
Lower output noise
True 3-way isolation
20dB better CMR of noise spikes than competing models
Custom Signal Conditioning

Custom modules are available: consult factory for minimum quantity and pricing
details on custom input ranges, output ranges, bandwidth, and other key
parameters.

SCM5B30/31
Analog Voltage Input Modules, Narrow Bandwidth

Description
The SCM5B modules are designed with a completely isolated computer side
circuit which can be floated to 50V from Power Common, pin 16. This complete
isolation means that no connection is required between I/O Common and Power
Common for proper operation of the output switch. If desired, the output switch
can be turned on continuously by simply connecting pin 22, the Read-Enable
pin, to I/O Common, pin 19.
Signal filtering is accomplished with a six-pole filter which provides 95dB
of normal-mode rejection at 60Hz and 90dB at 50Hz. Two poles of this filter
are on the field side of the isolation barrier, and the other four are on the
computer side.
After the initial field-side filtering, the input signal is chopped by a proprietary
chopper circuit. Isolation is provided by transformer coupling, again using a
proprietary technique to suppress transmission of common mode spikes or
surges. The module is powered from +5VDC, 5%.
Features
Each SCM5B30 and SCM5B31 voltage input module provides a single channel
of analog input which is filtered, isolated, amplified, and converted to a high-level
analog voltage output (Figure 1). This voltage output is logic-switch controlled,
allowing these modules to share a common analog bus without the requirement
of external multiplexers.

Description
isolation means that no connection is required between I/O Common and
Power Common for proper operation of the output switch. If desired, the
output switch can be turned on continuously by simply connecting pin 22, the
Read-Enable pin, to I/O Common, pin 19.
A precision 20 current conversion resistor is supplied with the SCM5B32
module. Sockets are provided on the SCMPB01/02/03/04/05/06/07 backpanels
to allow installation of this resistor. Extra resistors are available under part
number SCMXR1.
Signal filtering is accomplished with a six-pole filter which provides 95dB of
normal-mode rejection at 60Hz and 90dB at 50Hz. Two poles of this filter
are on the field side of the isolation barrier, and the other four are on the

SCM5B33
Isolated True RMS Input Modules

Description
The field voltage or current input signal is processed through a pre-amplifier and
RMS converter on the field side of the isolation barrier. The converted DC signal
is then chopped by a proprietary chopper circuit and transferred across the
transformer isolation barrier, suppressing transmission of common mode
spikes and surges. The computer side circuitry reconstructs, filters and converts
the signal to industry standard outputs. Modules are powered from
+5VDC, 5%.
For current output models, in addition to the 5VDC module power, an external
loop supply of 4.2V to 26V is required. The loop supply connection, with series
load, is between Pin 20 (+) and Pin 19 (-).
Due to circuit limitations, SCM5B33-04x and -05x are not ATEX compliant.
Features
Each SCM5B33 True RMS input module provides a single channel of AC input
which is converted to its True RMS DC value, filtered, isolated, amplified, and
converted to a standard process voltage or current output (Figure 1).

Linearized 2- or 3-Wire RTD Input Modules

Description
RTD excitation is provided from the module by two matched current sources.
When using a three-wire RTD, this method allows an equal current to flow in
each RTD lead, which cancels the effects of lead resistances. The excitation
currents are very small (0.25mA for 100 Pt and 120 Ni, and 1.0mA for 10
Cu) which minimizes self-heating of the RTD.
normal-mode rejection at 60Hz and 90dB at 50Hz. Two poles of this filter are on
the field side of the isolation barrier, and the other four are on the computer side.
Features
Each SCM5B34 RTD input module provides a single channel of RTD input
which is filtered, isolated, amplified, linearized, and converted to a high-level
analog voltage output (Figure 1). This voltage output is logic switch controlled,
which allows these modules to share a common analog bus without the
requirement of external multiplexers.

Linearized 4-Wire RTD Input Modules

Description
Each SCM5B35 RTD input module provides a single channel of RTD input
which is filtered, isolated, amplified, linearized, and converted to a high-level
analog voltage output. This voltage output is logic switch controlled, which
allows these modules to share a common analog bus without the requirement
of external multiplexers.
Features
In RTD temperature measurement applications requiring a very high level of

accuracy, the SCM5B35 4-Wire RTD input module offers a significant advantage over 3-wire measurement techniques (Figure 1). The SCM5B35 measures
only the voltage dropped across the RTD and almost completely ignores
the resistance or length of the RTD lead wires. The SCM5B34 3-Wire RTD
module provides lead resistance compensation, but requires equal lead resistances, while the SCM5B35 does not require matched lead resistances.

RTD excitation is provided from the module by a precision current source. The
excitation current is available on two leads which are separate from the two
input signal measuring leads. The excitation current does not flow in the input
signal leads, which allows RTD measurement to be totally independent of
lead resistance. The excitation current is very small (0.25mA for 100 Pt and
120 Ni and 1.0 mA for 10 Cu) which minimizes self-heating of the RTD.

SCM5B37
Non-Linearized Thermocouple Input Modules

Description
The SCM5B37 can interface to nine industry standard thermocouple types:
J, K, T, E, R, S, C, N, and B. Its corresponding output signal operates over a 0V
to +5V range. Each module is cold-junction compensated to correct for parasitic
thermocouples formed by the thermocouple wire and screw terminals on the
mounting backpanel. Upscale open thermocouple detect is provided by an
internal pull-up resistor. Downscale indication can be implemented by installing
an external 47M resistor, 20% tolerance, between screw terminals 1 and 3
on the SCMPB01/02/03/04/05/06/07 backpanels.
Features
Each SCM5B37 non-linearized thermocouple input module provides a single

channel of thermocouple input which is filtered, isolated, amplified, and
converted to a high-level analog voltage output (Figure 1). This voltage output
is logic-switch controlled, allowing these modules to share a common analog
bus without the requirement of external multiplexers.

Strain Gage Input Modules, Narrow Bandwidth

Description
circuit which can be floated to 50V from Power Common, pin 16. This
complete isolation means that no connection is required between I/O
Common and Power Common for proper operation of the output switch. If
desired, the output switch can be turned on continuously by simply connecting
pin 22, the Read-Enable pin, to I/O Common, pin 19.
The SCM5B38 can interface to full-bridge or half-bridge transducers with a
nominal resistance of 100 to 10k. A matched pair of bridge-completion
resistors (to 1mV at +10V excitation) allows use of low cost half-bridge or
quarter-bridge transducers (Figures 2, 3, 4).
Strain gage excitation is provided from the module by a very stable 10V
or 3.333V source. The excitation supply is fully isolated, allowing the amplifier
inputs to operate over the full range of the excitation voltage. This feature offers
significant flexibility in real world applications. Full scale sensitivities of 2mV/V,
3mV/V or 10mV/V are offered as standard. With 10V excitation, this results in
20mV, 30mV or 100mV full scale input range producing 5V full scale
output.
After initial field side filtering the input signal is chopped by a proprietary

Current Output Modules

Description
Setting of the track or hold mode is controlled by the logic state of WR EN\,
module pin 23. When pin 23 is low, the track mode is enabled. If pin 23 is high,
the hold mode is enabled. The module is designed with a completely isolated
computer side circuit which can be floated to 50V from Power Common, pin 16.
This complete isolation means that no connection is required between I/O
Common and Power Common for proper operation of the track and hold circuit.
For a low state, simply connect pin 23, the Write-Enable pin, to I/O Common, pin
19.
The SCMPB02 and SCMPB06 backpanels allow host computer control of the
WR EN\ control line, which allows multiplexing of one host DAC to up to 64
SCM5B39 output modules. During power-up, the output remains at 0mA for
100ms on all models except the SCM5B39-07, which allows the track-and-hold
circuit to be initialized.
Features
Each SCM5B39 current output module provides a single channel of analog

output. The track-and-hold circuit in the input stage can be operated in a hold
mode where one DAC can supply many output modules, or a track mode where
one DAC is dedicated to each module. In addition to the track-and-hold circuit,
each module provides signal buffering, isolation, filtering, and conversion to a
high-level current output (Figure 1).

Matched-Pair Servo/Motor Controller Modules

Description
The voltage input module connects to the servo or motor controller voltage
output and provides an isolated 4 to 20mA output which connects to the input
of the current input module. The current input module isolates and provides an
output voltage identical to that of the servo or motor controller. Thus the original
control signal has been isolated (twice) and extended via a 4 to 20mA current
loop.
Several mounting options are available for the SCM5B392 module set. If a large
number of channels are required, the SCMPB01 16 channel backpanel and
SCMPB05 8 channel backpanel are available. Smaller channel numbers can
be accommodated with the SCMPB03 single channel mounting panel and
SCMPB04 dual channel mounting panel. These can be mounted on a DIN rail.
Features
The SCM5B392 servo/motor controller module set is designed to solve the

problem of extending a servo or motor controller signal a long distance with
the possibility for noise pickup and/or contacting hazardous voltages. Each
SCM5B392 module set is made up of two modules: a voltage input/current
output module and a current input/voltage output module (Figure 1).

Analog Voltage Input Modules, Wide Bandwidth

Description
The input signal is processed through a wide bandwidth pre-amplifier on the field
side of the isolation barrier. After amplification, the input signal is chopped by a
proprietary chopper circuit. Isolation is provided by transformer coupling, again
using a proprietary technique to suppress transmission of common mode spikes
or surges. The module is powered from +5VDC, 5%.
A special input circuit on the SCM5B40 and SCM5B41 modules provides
protection against accidental connection of power-line voltages up to 240VAC.
Features
Each SCM5B40 and SCM5B41 wide bandwidth voltage input module provides
a single channel of analog input which is amplified, isolated, and converted to
a high-level analog voltage output (Figure 1). This voltage output is logic-switch
controlled, allowing these modules to share a common analog bus without the

2-Wire Transmitter Interface Modules

Description
The SCM5B42 will provide a 1500V isolation barrier for non-isolated 2-wire field
transmitters. It can also be used when additional isolation is required between
an isolated 2-wire transmitter and the input stage of the control room computer.
Features
Each SCM5B42 2-wire transmitter interface module provides a single channel

which accepts a 4 to 20mA process current input and provides a standard +1 to
+5V or +2 to +10V output signal (Figure 1). An isolated +20VDC regulated power
supply is provided to power the current transmitter. This allows a 2-wire loop
powered transmitter to be directly connected to the SCM5B42 without requiring
an external power supply. The regulated supply will provide a nominal +20VDC
at a loop current of 4mA to 20mA.
Isolated +20VDC Current Loop Supply

Provides Isolation for Non-Isolated 2-Wire
Transmitters
High-Level Voltage Output +1V to +5V
or +2V to +10V
The voltage output is logic switch controlled, which allows these modules to
share a common analog bus without the requirement of external multiplexers.
A precision 20 current conversion resistor is supplied with the module.

Sockets are provided on the SCMPB01/02/03/04/05/06/07 backpanels to allow
installation of this resistor. Extra resistors are available under part number
SCMXR1. All field inputs are fully protected from accidental connection of
power-line voltages up to 240VAC. The module has a 3dB bandwidth of 100Hz.
Signal filtering is accomplished with a six-pole filter, with two poles on the field
side of the isolation barrier, and the other four on the computer side.

General Purpose Input Modules, with DC Excitation

Description
Features
Each SCM5B43 general purpose input module provides a single channel of

transducer input which is filtered, isolated, scaled, and converted to a high-level
Interfaces to DC Displacement Transducers

and Other Devices Requiring a Stable DC
Supply
The SCM5B43 can interface to devices which require a precision 10VDC

excitation supply. The 1kHz bandwidth significantly reduces ripple and noise
inherent in these devices.
100dB CMR
Transducer excitation is provided from the module by a very stable 10V source.
The excitation supply is fully isolated, allowing the amplifier inputs to operate
over the full range of the excitation voltage. This feature offers significant
flexibility in real world applications. Ten full scale input ranges are provided, from
1V to 10V, producing 5V full scale output.
The input signal is processed through a pre-amplifier on the field side of the
isolation barrier. This pre-amplifier has a gain-bandwidth product of 5MHz and
is bandwidth limited to 1kHz. After amplification, the input signal is chopped by
a proprietary chopper circuit. Isolation is provided by transformer coupling,
again using a proprietary technique to suppress transmission of common mode
spikes or surges. The module is powered from +5VDC, 5%.

Frequency Input Modules

Description
The frequency input signal can be a TTL level signal or a zero-crossing signal.
Terminal 3 on the field-side terminal block is the common or ground connection
for input signals. A TTL signal is connected from terminal 2 to terminal 3,
while a zero-crossing signal is connected from terminal 4 to terminal 3. Input
circuitry for each of the signal types has hysteresis built in. An input signal
must cross entirely through the hysteresis region in order to trigger the threshold
comparator.
A 5.1V excitation is available for use with magnetic pick-up or contact-closure
type sensors. The excitation is available on pin 1 and the excitation common is
pin 3.
Features
Each SCM5B45 frequency input module provides a single channel of frequency

input which is isolated and converted to a high-level analog voltage output. This
voltage output is logic switch controlled, which allows these modules to share
a common analog bus without the requirement of external multiplexers
(Figure1).

SCM5B47
Linearized Thermocouple Input Modules

Description
The SCM5B47 can interface to eight industry standard thermocouple types: J,
K, T, E, R, S, N, and B. Its corresponding output signal operates over a 0V to +5V
range. Each module is cold-junction compensated to correct for parasitic
thermocouples formed by the thermocouple wire and screw terminals on the
mounting backpanel. Upscale open thermocouple detect is provided by an
internal pull-up resistor. Downscale indication can be implemented by installing
an external 47M resistor, 20% tolerance, between screw terminals 1 and 3
on the SCMPB01/02/03/04/05/06/07 backpanels.
Features
Each SCM5B47 thermocouple input module provides a single channel of

thermocouple input which is filtered, isolated, amplified, linearized and converted to a high-level analog voltage output (Figure 1). This voltage output is
logic-switch controlled, allowing these modules to share a common analog bus
without the requirement of external multiplexers.

SCM5B48
Accelerometer Input Module

Description
Six poles of signal filtering in the SCM5B48 module result in greater than 100dB
of normal-mode rejection for signal frequencies above the cutoff frequency. One
pole of filtering is on the field side of the isolation barrier for anti-aliasing
purposes and the remaining five-pole programmable Bessel filter is located on
the system side. High-pass filtering is achieved through a second order passive
filter, located on the field side. If desired, the output switch can be turned on
continuously by simply connecting pin 22, the Read-Enable pin, to I/O Common,
pin 19.
The SCM5B48 offers the option of setting the constant current source for sensor
excitation to common values of 4mA or 9mA with a compliance voltage of
24VDC. Programmable gains of 1, 10 and 100 are selectable and the module
offers a 10V output. The required supply level is +5VDC, 5%.
To ensure protection of expensive data acquisition equipment, the SCM5B48
module signal inputs and sensor excitation outputs are protected against
accidental connection of voltages up to 240Vrms.
*ICP is a registered trademark of PCB Group Inc.
*IEPE is Integrated Electronic Piezo-Electric
*LIVM is Low Impedance Voltage Mode
Features
The SCM5B48 provides excitation to piezoelectric sensors with built-in

microelectronic amplifiers, commonly known as ICP* or IEPE* or LIVM* sensors.
The module provides a constant current excitation to the sensor, then isolates,
filters, and amplifies the sensor output, yielding a high-level analog voltage output
(Figure 1). The excitation current, signal gain, and filter high-pass and low-pass
cutoff frequencies are field-configurable through a set of slide switches.

Voltage Output Modules

Description
Features
Each SCM5B49 voltage output module provides a single channel of analog

output. The track-and-hold circuit in the input stage can be operated in a hold
mode where one DAC can supply many output modules, or a track mode where
one DAC is dedicated to each module. In addition to the track-and-hold circuit,
each module provides signal buffering, isolation, filtering, and conversion to a
high-level voltage output (Figure 1).
Accepts High-Level Voltage Inputs to 10V

Provides High-Level Voltage Outputs to 10V
1500 Vrms Transformer Isolation
Setting of the track or hold mode is controlled by the logic state of WR EN\,
module pin 23. When pin 23 is low, the track mode is enabled. If pin 23 is high,
the hold mode is enabled. The module is designed with a completely isolated
computer side circuit which can be floated to 50V from Power Common, pin 16.
This complete isolation means that no connection is required between I/O
Common and Power Common for proper operation of the track and hold circuit.
For a low state, simply connect pin 23, the Write-Enable pin, to I/O Common, pin 19.
The SCMPB02 and SCMPB06 backpanels allow host computer control of the
WR EN\ control line, which allows multiplexing of one host DAC to up to 64
SCM5B49 output modules.

SCMVAS
Voltage Attenuator System

Description
For each channel of analog input, an attenuator module, SCMVAS-Mnnn,

pre-conditions the signal which is then filtered, isolated, and converted to a
high-level voltage output using an SCM5B30-07 or SCM5B40-07 module. The
SCM5B40-07 module with a 10kHz bandwidth is recommended for common 50/
60Hz signals low in harmonics where the user is interested in measuring only
AC voltage. The SCM5B30-07 module is used for low frequency AC signals
below 4Hz. The attenuator and signal conditioning modules have excellent
stability over time and do not require recalibration. Overall system accuracy is
0.06%.
Input signal connections to the SCMVAS-Mnnn attenuator module are made
using a pluggable terminal block for ease of system assembly and reconfiguration.
For safety purposes, the terminal block has a cover over the screws and there
are no other exposed high-voltage points on the SCMVAS-Mnnn series modules, SCM5B30-07 or SCM5B40-07 module, or the mounting backpanel.
Features
The SCMVAS (Signal Conditioning Modular Voltage Attenuator System) is an

analog signal conditioning system designed to safely monitor and accurately
measure voltage potentials up to 495VAC (1400V peak-to-peak). These highlevel voltages are typically found in industrial applications such as induction
heaters or electric-motor drive controllers. The system reduces the input signal
to a level suitable for interface to data acquisition systems, while at the same
time providing various filter characteristics and 1500Vrms isolation (Figure 1).

The SCMVAS system has two specially designed backpanels for mounting the
attenuator and signal conditioning modules. The SCMVAS-PB8 high density, 8channel backpanel (Figures 2, 3) can be panel mounted or DIN rail mounted and
provides the conditioned output signal on screw terminal blocks. Jumpers are
provided on each channel to optionally connect or isolate each modules I/O
Common from other channels I/O Common and/or Power Common. The
SCMVAS-PB16 (Figures 4, 5) has 16 channels of analog I/O simultaneously
available to high-speed data acquisition (ADC) boards through a 26-conductor
ribbon cable. Refer to the SCMPB01 Data Sheet in this catalog and Application
Note AN502 at www.dataforth.com for recommended ground connections and
host system interfaces. Both the SCMVAS-PB8 and SCMVAS-PB16 backpanels
can be mounted on the SCMXRK-002 19-inch metal rack.

Description
The SCMPB01 16-channel backpanel (Figure 1) can accept any of the SCM5B
analog modules in any mixture. It can be mounted on the SCMXRK-002 19-inch
metal rack. The SCMPB01 has 16 non-addressable analog I/O signal channels
which provides each module with its own analog bus. The module output switch
is continuously on when using this backpanel and all sixteen module outputs
are simultaneously accessible to high-speed data acquisition (ADC) boards. A
set of inter-channel bridge jumpers permits connecting an input modules output
to an output modules input, providing two levels of isolation. A temperature
sensor is mounted on each channel to provide cold junction compensation for
thermocouple input modules (see Figure 2 for schematic). Field connections are
terminated with four screw terminals at each module site. Use system interface
cable SCMXCA004-XX for connection to the host system.

Adjacent Channel Jumpers
Adjacent channels may be connected together to provide an isolated output

signal from an isolated input module, providing two levels of 1500V isolation.
This capability is provided with the 15 jumpers labeled JP1 through JP15 on
headers E1, E2, and E3. A simplified drawing of the SCMPB01 schematic for
Channel 1 through 4 is shown in Figure 3.
Example: Assume an SCM5B30 input module is installed in Channel 0 position
and an SCM5B39 output module is installed in Channel 1 position. If JP1 is
installed, the output of Channel 0 is connected to the input of Channel 1, which
provides two levels of 1500V isolation.
For proper operation of the output switch or track-and-hold circuit when using
the SCMPB01/05 backpanels, a current path must exist between the host
control logic power common and module I/O Common (module pin 19). This
path can be established on the SCMPB01 via jumper J4. If this connection exists
elsewhere in the system, jumper J4 should be removed since possible ground
loops could exist. Other connections of power ground and signal ground
usually occur at the A/D or D/A converter of the host measurement system.
More information on grounding can be found in Application Note AN502.
Figure 3: SCMPB01 Adjacent Channel Jumpers
Power
The SCMPB01 backpanel requires external +5VDC 5% power. The chassis

mounted SCMXPRE-003 or SCMXPRT-003 power supplies have adequate
capacity to power any combination of modules.
Figure 4: SCMPB01 Grounding Diagram
Fusing
The SCMPB01 backpanel power is fuse protected through F1. This is a

Littelfuse type 252007, 7 amp fuse. Zener diode DZ1 provides extra protection
by clamping the input power voltage to +5.6V. If the input supply voltage
connection is reversed, this zener diode will be forward biased and fuse F1
will be blown.
Grounding
Figure 4 details the optional ground jumper configuration available on the

SCMPB01 backpanel. Jumpers J1, J3, and J4 are factory installed.
Jumper J1 connects the AGND shield wires (pins 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, and 24)
to the backpanel signal ground. This provides a ground connection between the
host system and backpanel. Jumper J1 is required if output modules (SCM5B39,
SCM5B49) are used, or if there is no high impedance sense input (input low of
a differential or pseudo-differential system) on the host measurement system.
If the connection of power common and AGND shield wires exist in the host
measurement system, an optional resistive connection between AGND and
the backpanel signal ground can be made via R1. R1 can be as large as 10K
ohms; 100 ohms is a recommended value. Jumper J2 can be used to connect
the SENSE line to R1 when this ground configuration is used.
For full protection against large electrical disturbances on the field-side of the
SCM5B modules, a #10-32 ground stud is provided on the backpanel. An
electrical connection between this ground stud and system ground should be
provided with a large gauge wire of the shortest possible length. When this
connection is made, a possible ground loop could result through the AGND
shield wires and backpanel signal ground. If the application involves only input
modules and a differential input is used by the host measurement system, J1
should be removed. Remember that J1 is required if output modules are used
or if the host system does not have differential inputs.
Jumper J3 connects the SENSE line (pin 25) to the backpanel signal ground. If
the host system has the capability, this allows measuring the SCMPB01
ground potential.

in the address decode circuitry to expand the system to 64 channels (four
SCMPB02 backpanels) of multiplexed input or output. Jumpers on HD10
header, E1 and E2 group, select which set of 16 addresses are assigned to a
particular backpanel. The E1 group assigns a set of 16 addresses for input
modules, and the E2 group assigns a set of 16 addresses for output modules.

capacity to power any combination of modules.
Fusing
SCM5B
For proper operation of the output switch or track-and-hold circuit when using
the SCMPB02/06 backpanels, a current path must exist between the host
control logic power common and module I/O Common (module pin 19). This
path can be established on the SCMPB02 via jumper J4. If this connection exists
elsewhere in the system, jumper J4 should be removed since possible ground
loops could exist. Other connections of power ground and signal ground usually
occur at the A/D or D/A converter of the host measurement system. More
information on grounding can be found in Application Note AN502.
If the connection of power common and SIG COM shield wires exist in the host
measurement system, a resistive connection between SIG COM and the
backpanel signal ground can be made via R1. R1 can be as large as 10K ohms;
100 ohms is a recommended value. Jumper J3 can be used to connect the SNS
LO line to R1 when this ground configuration is used.
For full protection against large electrical disturbances on the field-side of the
SCM5B modules, a #10-32 ground stud is provided on the backpanel. An
electrical connection between this ground stud and system ground should be
provided with a large gauge wire of the shortest possible length. When this
connection is made, a possible ground loop could result through the SIG COM
shield wires and backpanel signal ground. If the application involves only input
modules and a differential input is used by the host measurement system, J1
should be removed. Remember that J1 is required if output modules are used
or if the host system does not have differential inputs.
The SCMPB02 backpanel power is fuse protected through F1. This is a

Grounding
Figure 7 below details the optional ground jumper configuration available on the
SCMPB02 backpanel. Jumpers J1, J2, and J4 are factory installed.
Jumper J1 connects the SIG COM shield wires (pins 2, 5, and 6) to the backpanel
signal ground. This provides a ground connection between the host system and
backpanel. Jumper J1 is required if output modules (SCM5B39, SCM5B49) are
used, or if there is no high impedance sense input (input low of a differential or
pseudo-differential system) on the host measurement system.

SCMPB05
8-Position Analog I/O Backpanel, Non-Multiplexed

Description
The SCMPB05 backpanel (Figure 12) can accept up to eight SCM5B analog
input and/or output modules in any combination. It can be mounted on the
SCMXRK-002 19-inch metal rack. A separate analog signal path is provided for
each channel and each channels signal is accessible at redundant
26-pin connectors. The module output switch is continuously on when using
this backpanel and all eight module outputs are simultaneously accessible to
high-speed data acquistion (ADC) boards.
On-board jumpers permit paralleling two SCMPB05 boards to form a SCMPB01
equivalent. An additional set of inter-channel bridge jumpers permits connecting
an input modules output to an output modules input, providing two levels of
isolation (Figures 12, 13).
Jumpers on the SCMPB05 permit user selection of low (i.e. channels 0-7) or high
(i.e. channels 8-15) addresses.
A temperature sensor mounted on each channel provides cold junction
compensation for thermocouple input modules (see Fig. 13 for schematic). Field
connections are terminated with four screw terminals at each module site. Use
system interface cable SCMXCA004-XX for connection to the host system.

Address Selection
Module addresses may be selected as low (channels 0-7) or high (channels 815) using the sets of 3 pins labeled J5 through J12. Place a jumper over the two
pins closest to the ribbon cable connectors, P1 and P2, to select a low address
(factory configuration) or over the two pins furthest from the ribbon cable
connectors, P1 and P2, to select a high address.
Adjacent Channel Jumper
Adjacent channels may be connected together to provide an isolated output

signal from an isolated input module, providing two levels of 1500V isolation.
This capability is provided with the seven jumpers labeled JP1JP7. See page
57 for an example.
Refer to page 50 for additional notes on the P1 and P2 connectors, power
requirements, fusing and grounding issues.

8-Position Analog I/O Backpanel, Multiplexed

Description
The SCMPB06 backpanel (Figure 14) can accept up to eight SCM5B modules
in any combination. It can be mounted on the SCMXRK-002 19-inch metal rack.
The SCMPB06 has two analog buses; one for analog input and one for analog
output. This two-bus configuration takes advantage of the switch controlled
outputs on the input modules and the track-and-hold inputs on the output
modules. A temperature sensor is mounted on each channel to provide cold
junction compensation for thermocouple input modules (see Figure 15 for
module site. Up to eight SCMPB06 backpanels may be daisy-chained. Use
SCMXCA004-XX cable for daisy chaining and connecting to host computer.

Address Selection
Module read and write addresses may be selected as low (channels 0-7) or high
(channels 8-15) using the four sets of 3 position jumpers labeled J5 through J8.
Place a jumper over the two pins furthest from the field I/O termination blocks
on all four sets to select a low address (factory configuration) or over the two pins
closest to the field I/O termination blocks on all four sets to select a high address.
The SCMPB06 backpanel has address decoding circuitry to allow multiplexing any
combination of up to 8 input or output modules. Capability is also provided in the
address decode circuitry to expand the system to 64 channels (eight SCMPB06
backpanels) of multiplexed input or output. Jumpers select which set of 16
addresses are assigned to a particular backpanel. The Read Address group
assigns a set of 16 addresses for input modules, and the Write Address group
assigns a set of 16 addresses for output modules. The table on the next page shows
the correlation of jumper position to address range. Refer to page 53 for additional
notes on the P1 and P4 connectors, power requirements, fusing, and grounding issues.
Modules with system output of 10V or 0-10V cannot be mixed with modules
with system output of 5V or 0-5V within a given system.

10 inches (254mm) for the SCMPB05 and SCMPB06 8-channel backpanels.
Separate analog signal paths are provided for each channel. Each channel
provides four high-density screw terminals for field connections and
two high-density screw terminals for host system connection. It also provides a
jumper on each channel to optionally connect or isolate each modules I/O
common from other channel's I/O common and/or power common (Figure 16).

Connection pins
Two jumpers are provided for customer use. The first, J1, provides a current
path between +5V Power Common (module pin 16) and I/O Common (module
pin 19). A path must exist between the host control logic power common and
module I/O Common for proper operation of the module output switch or trackand-hold circuit. If this connection exists elsewhere in the system, jumper J1
should be removed since possible ground loops could exist. Other connections
of power ground and signal ground usually occur at the A/D or D/A converter of
the host measurement system.
Jumper J2 is used in the cold junction compensation circuit. If it is installed, the
compensation circuit is enabled and will provide the proper compensation
voltage to correct for the thermoelectric effect at the +In and In screw terminals.
Figure 17: SCMXEV Evaluation Board Dimensions and Pin Layout
If an external simulation voltage is desired for cold junction compensation, J2

should be removed. The external voltage is applied at the sockets labled CJC+
and CJC. An external voltage of 510.0mV corresponds to an ambient temperature of +25 C. The transfer function of the onboard compensation circuit is VCJC
= 0.510 0.0025(T25)V.

SCM7B21/30/31
Isolated Analog Voltage Input Modules

Description
These modules incorporate a five-pole filtering approach to maximize both time

and frequency response by taking advantage of both Thomson (Bessel) and
Butterworth characteristics. One pole of the filter is on the field side of the
isolation barrier; four are on the process control system side.
chopper circuit and transferred across the transformer isolation barrier, suppressing transmission of common mode spikes and surges. The signal is then
reconstructed and filtered for process control system output.
Modules accept a wide 14 - 35VDC power supply range (+24VDC nominal).
Their compact packages (2.13"x1.705"x0.605" max) save space and are ideal
for high channel density applications. They are designed for easy DIN rail
mounting using any of the -DIN backpanels.
Features
Each SCM7B21/30/31 voltage input module accepts one channel of analog

voltage input which is filtered, isolated, amplified, and converted to a high-level
analog voltage for output to the process control system (Figure 1).

SCM7B32/33
Isolated Process Current/Voltage Input Modules

Description
SCM7B33 voltage input modules accept input signals in the +1V to +5V or 0 to
+5V ranges from the field and provide a high-level output to the process
control system. As an alternative, the SCM7B33 can be used with an external
250 resistor (Dataforth SCM7BXR1 or equivalent), to accept input signals in
the 4-20mA or 0-20mA ranges. Using the external sense resistor allows the
module to be removed without disrupting the current loop. All SCM7B33s are
shipped with a SCM7BXR1 resistor.
After the initial field-side filtering (conversion-SCM7B32 only), the input signal
is chopped by a proprietary chopper circuit and transferred across the transformer isolation barrier, suppressing transmission of common mode spikes and
surges. The signal is then reconstructed and filtered for process control system
output.
Features
The SCM7B32 current input modules accept input signals in the 4-20mA or
0-20mA ranges from the field and provide a high-level output to the process
control system (Figure 1). Current to voltage conversion occurs internal to the
module, which is factory calibrated to ensure the highest accuracy.

SCM7B34/34N
Isolated Linearized 2- or 3-Wire RTD Input Modules

Description

Features
Each SCM7B34/34N RTD input module accepts a single channel of 100

Platinum ( = 0.00385) or 120 Nickel ( = 0.00672) RTD input and produces
an input voltage in response to a low-level current excitation. The input signal
is filtered, isolated, amplified, linearized, and converted to a high-level analog
voltage for output to the process control system (Figure 1).
Interfaces to 100 Platinum or 120

Nickel RTDs
Provides 250A RTD Excitation Current
Linearizes RTD Signal Response
In response to the low-level current excitation signal, the RTD input signal is
chopped by a proprietary chopper circuit and transferred across the transformer
isolation barrier, suppressing transmission of common mode spikes and surges.
The signal is then reconstructed and filtered for process control system output.
Accuracy, 0.05% to 0.15% of

Span Typical
Linearization is achieved by creating a non-linear transfer function through the

module itself. This non-linear transfer function is configured at the factory and
is designed to be equal and opposite to the specific RTD non-linearity. Lead
compensation is achieved by matching two current paths thus cancelling the
effects of lead resistance.

SCM7B
SCM7B36
Isolated Potentiometer Input Modules

Description
The SCM7B36 module interfaces to slidewires and potentiometers in both two

or three wire configuration and incorporates a five-pole filtering approach to
maximize both time and frequency response by taking advantage of both Bessel
and Butterworth characteristics. One pole of the filter is on the field side of the
isolation barrier; four are on the process control system side. In the 3-Wire
configuration, lead resistance compensation is provided if the resistance of the
x lead is closely equivalent to that of the + lead. Internal to the module,
measurement error due to lead resistance is canceled.
In response to the low-level current excitation, and after initial field-side filtering,
the input signal is chopped by a proprietary chopper circuit and transferred
across the transformer isolation barrier, suppressing transmission of common
mode spikes and surges. The signal is then reconstructed and filtered for
process control system output.
Six standard input resistance ranges are offered, from 100 to 10k, with three
output ranges available: 0-5V, 1-5V, and 0-10V. Modules accept a wide 1435VDC power supply range (+24VDC nominal). Their compact packages (2.13"
x 1.705" x 0.605" max.) save space and are ideal for high channel density
applications. They are designed for easy DIN rail mounting using any of
Dataforths -DIN backpanels.
Features
Each SCM7B36 Potentiometer input module provides a single channel of

resistance input which is filtered, isolated, amplified, and converted to a highlevel analog voltage output (Figure 1).

SCM7B39
Isolated Process Current Output Modules

Description

Butterworth characteristics. One pole of the filter is on the process control
system side of the isolation barrier, and the other four poles are on the field side.
After the initial process control system side filtering, the signal is chopped by a
proprietary chopper circuit and transferred across the transformer isolation
barrier, suppressing transmission of common mode spikes and surges. The
signal is then reconstructed, filtered, and converted to a process current for
output to the field.
Features
SCM7B39 process current modules accept high-level signals from the process

Accessories for SCM7B Analog Modules
SCM7BXEV
Description
The SCM7BXEV (Figures 1 and 2) is a single channel backpanel that can accept
any of the SCM7B analog modules. It is meant to be used primarily for module
evaluation. Unlike multiple channel backpanels, the single high-level system
output (or input) signal is routed to all channel pins on the system interface
DB25 connector. The backpanel contains four standoffs to allow mounting,
using a #6 or smaller screw.
On the field side, a temperature sensor is mounted underneath the field side
terminal block to provide cold junction compensation for thermocouple modules,
and a current-to-voltage conversion resistor (P/N SCM7BXR1) socketing location is provided (supplied with SCM7B33 modules). Field connections are
terminated with three screw terminals
System Side - Power
Specifications
Using the V+ supply input, the power supply voltage can be as little as +14VDC.
If +15VDC is available, it is recommended that the supply be connected between
the V+A or V+B connections and COM; this will protect the module against
accidental supply reversal. Using both these connections with two power
supplies enables redundant operation. It is also recommended that a diode
transient absorber be installed to reduce power supply transient events from
degrading system performance. An accessory location, between the supply
and common lines, is provided for this purpose. The backpanel is fused at
1/4 Amp for module protection.

Backpanel
Description
The SCM7BP01 (Figure 3) and SCM7BP02 (Figure 4) are 1 and 2 channel
backpanels. Unlike other backpanels available, both the system and field side
sides have screw terminal connectors able to accept discrete wire (10-24 AWG).
The backpanels can be ordered with standoffs to allow mounting, using a #6 or
smaller screw, or with DIN rail mounting hardware.
System Side - Power
Both backpanels accept 14-35VDC between V+ and COM using a screw

terminal (10-24 AWG) block. No reverse supply diodes are provided with this
model, but both are fused at 1/4 Amp (01) or 1/2 Amp (02) for module protection.
On the field side, a temperature sensor is mounted underneath the field side
terminal block to provide cold junction compensation for thermocouple modules,
and a current-to-voltage conversion resistor (P/N SCM7BXR1) socket location
is provided (supplied with SCM7B33 modules).

Description
Field Side - Signal
The SCM7BP04, SCM7BP08, and SCM7BP16 (see Figures 8-11) are 4, 8, &
16 channel backpanels that can accept any of the SCM7B analog modules. All
three of these backpanels can either be rack mounted using Dataforths 19-inch
rack P/N SCMXRK-002 (using the provided 3mm screws), or directly mounted
to a surface using #6 or smaller screws. The SCM7BP04-DIN, SCM7BP08-DIN,
and SCM7BP16-DIN are identical to the SCM7BP04, SCM7BP08, and
SCM7BP16, but with DIN rail mounting clips attached instead of standoffs.
These brackets allow the backpanels to be mounted on either EN 50022-35 x 7.5
(35 x 15) or EN 50035-G32 type DIN rails.
On the field side a temperature sensor is mounted underneath the field side
terminal block to provide cold junction compensation for thermocouple input
modules. A current-to-voltage conversion resistor (P/N SCM7BXR1, supplied
with SCM7B33 modules) socket is provided for each channel. Field connections
are terminated with three screw terminals at each module site.

Voltage Input Modules, Narrow Bandwidth

Description
Features
8B modules are an optimal solution for monitoring real-world process signals

and providing high-level signals to a data acquisition system. Each 8B30 or
8B31 module isolates, filters, and amplifies a voltage input signal and provides
an analog voltage output (Figure 1).

Signal filtering is accomplished with a 5-pole filter optimized for time and
frequency response which provides 70dB of normal-mode rejection at 60Hz.
One pole of this filter is on the field side of the isolation barrier for anti-aliasing,
and the other four are on the system side.
1500Vrms Isolation
A special input circuit on the 8B30 and 8B31 modules provides protection
against accidental connection of power-line voltages up to 240VAC. Clamp
circuits on the I/O and power terminals protect against harmful transients.
120dB CMR
Isolation is provided by optical coupling to suppress transmission of common

mode spikes or surges. The module is powered from +5VDC, 5%.
0.02% Linearity
The modules are designed for installation in Class I, Division 2 hazardous

locations and have a high level of immunity to environmental noise.

8B33

Description
The field voltage or current input signal is processed through a pre-amplifier and
RMS converter on the field side of the isolation barrier. The converted DC signal
is then chopped by a proprietary chopper circuit and transferred across the
transformer isolation barrier, suppressing transmission of common mode
spikes and surges. The computer side circuitry reconstructs, filters, and
converts the signal to an industry standard output of 0 to 5VDC.
Special input circuits provide protection against accidental connection of power
line voltages up to 350VAC and against transient events defined by ANSI/IEEE
C37.90.1.
Features
Each 8B33 True RMS input module provides a single channel of AC input which
is converted to its True RMS DC value, filtered, isolated, amplified, and
converted to a standard process voltage output (Figure 1).

Interfaces to 100 through 2k Full-Bridge

Strain Gages
The 8B38 can interface to transducers with a nominal resistance of 100 to 2k.
Bridge excitation is provided from the module with a stable 10.00V or 3.33V
source. Full scale sensitivities of 2mV/V and 3mV/V are offered as standard.

rejection above the filter cutoff frequency. One pole of this filter is on the field side
of the isolation barrier for anti-aliasing, and the other four are on the system side.
A special input circuit on the 8B38 module provides protection against accidental connection of power-line voltages up to 240VAC. Clamp circuits on the I/O
and power terminals protect against harmful transients.
Isolation is provided by transformer coupling to suppress transmission of
common mode spikes or surges. The module is powered from +5VDC, 5%.

Description
The 8BP02, 04, 08, and 16 backpanels can accept any of the 8B analog I/O
modules in any mixture and can be mounted on the SCMXRK-002 19-inch metal
rack. Analog I/O signal channels provide each module with its own analog bus.
All module outputs are simultaneously accessible to high-speed data acquisition (ADC) boards. A temperature sensor is mounted on each channel to provide
cold junction compensation for thermocouple input modules (see Figure 6 for
module site. Use system interface cable SCMXCA006-XX for connection to the
host system.

8B
Power
The 8B backpanels have two power supply options. A +5VDC 5% supply can
be connected to the +5V Supply terminal block, or alternatively, a wide ranging
7-34VDC supply can be connected to the Alternate Supply terminal block. In
the latter case, the 8BPWR-2 module must be installed on the backpanel. The
backpanel contains circuitry which automatically switches between the supplies
such that only one at a time provides power to the modules. When power
connections are made to both terminal blocks simultaneously, the 7-34VDC
supply takes precedence over the +5VDC supply.
Fusing
Backpanel power is fuse-protected through F1 and F2. Zener diodes D3 and D4

provide extra protection from overvoltage and supply reversal.
Grounding
For full protection against large electrical disturbances on the field-side of the 8B
modules, a #10-32 ground stud is provided on the backpanel. An electrical
connection between this ground stud and the system ground should be provided
with a large gage wire of the shortest possible length.

MAQ20
The Modules: Compact, Flexible, and Powerful

One MAQ20 communications module can interface to up to 24 I/O modules to
construct a system with a maximum of 384 channels that fits within a standard
19" instrumentation rack. Processors within each module make this distributed
system extremely powerful.
Communications Module: Offered in Ethernet, RS-232, RS-485, and USB
with host application software interfacing to the system using Modbus TCP or
Modbus RTU protocol.
Analog Input Modules: Interface to a wide range of standard industrial
sensors and equipment and offer up to 16 channels of input, each of which
can be independently configured; signal ranges are user selectable and
offered in differential and single-ended configurations.
- Thermocouple Input Modules offer 8 differential input channels, all of

which are individually configurable for range, alarm limits, and averaging.
Separate models are offered for interfacing to Type J, Type K, Type T and
Types R and S thermocouples.
- RTD and Potentiometer Input Modules interface to 2-wire, 3-wire, and
4-wire sensors including five RTD types and potentiometers. Modules offer
six channels, each configurable for range, alarm limits, and averaging.
- Strain Gage Input Module connects to full, half, and quarter
bridge sensors and offers four channels; each channel is
configurable for range, alarm limits, averaging, bandwidth, excitation V,
gain, shunt cal resistors, and sample rate.
Figure 2: Communications Module with I/O Modules
- Frequency Input Module accepts zero-crossing and TTL signals with

frequencies of DC to 1MHz and provides a DC stimulus for contact
sensors. This module has eight channels, each configurable for range and
alarm limits.
Analog Output Modules: Voltage and Current Output Modules drive
valves, perform other crucial process operations, and provide up to eight
channels of output which can be independently configured.
Discrete Input/Output Modules: Provide multiple channels of input and
output per module and offer advanced special functions as well as alarm
capability.
The System Backbone resides within the DIN rail used for module mounting
and provides power to and interface between the communications module and
the I/O modules.

limits, and averaging.
MAQ20
Outstanding Functionality
As the MAQ20 system is a Modbus server, it can be operated remotely with no
local PC. Additional features include:
The MAQ20 system comes with free configuration software; programming

examples and LabVIEW VIs are also available.
- Up to 4GB of logged data can be transferred via FTP during real-time acquisition
Leading-Edge PID Loop Control
- System firmware automatically registers installation and removal of I/O

modules
The MAQ20 provides PID loop control with both software packages that
support the system: ReDAQ Shape for MAQ20 and IPEmotion. With ReDAQ
Shape, the powerful Dataforth MAQ20 communications module is capable of
autonomously running up to 32 PID control loops; faceplates within the
software enable an engineer or operator to configure the many features of loop
control and monitor processes. With IPEmotion software, PID loop control is
extensive and highly functional. An unlimited number of loops can be run; the
only limiting factor is the processing power of the PC.Typical PID applications
include steam, water, and chemical flow control; tank level control; heatexchanger/reactor temperature control, and pressure control.
- Equal load sharing boost power supply modules enable system expansion
- Hot swappable I/O modules with field-side pluggable terminal blocks on
most models
- Sophisticated packaging allows high density mounting in 3U increments
- I/O modules can be mounted remotely from the communications module
Output modules are programmable for user-defined waveforms. Discrete I/O
modules offer seven high level functions including pulse counter, frequency
counter, waveform measurement, time between events, frequency generator,
PWM generator, and one-shot pulse generator.
System power is connected to the communications module, which in turn
powers the I/O modules. For systems with power supply requirements greater
than those the communications module provides, the MAQ20-PWR3 boost
power supply module can provide additional power. When a MAQ20 I/O
module is inserted into a system, module registration occurs automatically,
data acquisition starts, and data is stored locally in the module. The system is
based on a Modbus compatible memory map, which ensures easy access to
acquired data, configuration settings, and alarm limits. Information is stored in
consistent locations from module to module for ease of use and system design.

Communications Modules
Provide Connection, Power, Interface
Description
When using the Ethernet interface, up to four simultaneous socket connections

are supported and each socket can process up to four simultaneous Modbus
TCP transactions. Serial communications over RS-232 or RS-485 can be run
at baud rates as fast as 921.6kbps.
A very useful feature of the MAQ20 system is the capability to store acquired
data locally for later analysis. This is provided by the easily accessible and
removable 4GB micro-SD memory card that is in the MAQ20-COMx module
and can be used to log data acquired from all input modules.
Features
The MAQ20 communications module is offered in two models and provides the
connection between a host computer and a MAQ20 Data Acquisition System.
MAQ20-COM4 communicates using Ethernet, USB, or RS-485; MAQ20COM2 uses Ethernet, USB, or RS-232. Ethernet communications use the
Modbus TCP protocol and USB communications are based on the Modbus
RTU protocol, which RS-485 and RS-232 communications also use. Serial
communications over RS-485 can be either 2-wire or 4-wire.

Interface to up to 24 I/O Modules
50VDC Communications Interface-to-Bus Isolation
Each MAQ20-COMx module can interface to up to 24 I/O modules in any

combination, allowing high channel counts and great flexibility in system
configuration.
To power the system, a 7-34VDC power source is connected to the communications module. Regulated and protected supplies within the module then
provide power both to the internal circuits and to all I/O modules in the system.
When many high power I/O modules are used in a system, MAQ20-PWR3
load-sharing boost power supply modules can be installed in standard I/O
module slots to provide the necessary additional power.
To ensure robustness, the communications interface-to-bus isolation is

50VDC and power input terminals are protected against overvoltage, transient,
and reverse connections.
As a minimum, a MAQ20 Data Acquisition System must have a communications module, a backbone, and one I/O module.

Input-to-bus isolation is a robust 1500Vrms and each individual channel is

protected up to 240Vrms continuous overload in case of inadvertent wiring
errors. Overloaded channels do not adversely affect other channels in the
module, thereby preserving data integrity.
Channels in a module can be selectively enabled for scanning. All channels are
enabled by default; however, non-used channels can be disabled to increase
the sampling rate of enabled channels.
Input ranges are selectable on a per-channel basis. The MAQ20-MVDN,
-VDN, and -VSN modules have five user selectable input ranges; the MAQ20IDN and -ISN modules have two. Over-range and under-range up to 2% beyond
the specified input values is allowed, and accuracy is guaranteed to f.s.
Cables to interface 8B backpanels to the MAQ20-VSN module are available;
the 8B modules and backpanel assembly provide 1500Vrms channel-tochannel isolation.

System Backbones
Distribute Power and Communications

Description
Features
The MAQ20 system backbone resides within the DIN rail used for module
mounting and provides power to and interface between the communications
module and the I/O modules. Standard backbones provide for one communication module and 4, 8, 16, or 24 I/O modules. The longest backbone, which
accommodates 24 I/O modules, fits in an industry standard 19" rack. Each
backbone utilizes a pluggable connector system on each end such that varying
system channel counts can be configured using the standard backbones. As
a result of this pluggable system, the main part of a system, including the
communications module, can be installed in one location while other sets of
I/O modules installed in remote locations connect to the main system through
a wire harness.

Long-Life, Durable, Vibration Resistant Contacts
Modules mount on industry standard 35x7.5mm gull-wing DIN rails.

Once a system is established with a system backbone and a communications
module, system configuration is accomplished by applying power and installing the I/O modules. These are hot swappable and true 'plug and run'. When
an I/O module is plugged into any backbone position, the communications
module automatically recognizes that it has been added to the system,
registers it in the system configuration record, and makes it immediately
available in the host software for use in data acquisition and control and test
and measurement applications. Similarly, when a module is removed from any
backbone position, the communications module recognizes that it has been
unplugged, removes it from the system configuration, and disables it in the
software.

ReDAQ Shape and Configuration Software for MAQ20

Description
ReDAQ Shape for MAQ20 is ideal for data acquisition, monitoring and control
applications. It enables users to easily interact with the Dataforth PID loop
controller, which an engineer or operator accesses through faceplates within
the software.
The ReDAQ Shape software also provides an effective way to configure and
customize MAQ20 functions for specific application requirements. The toolbox
tools are easily moved, re-sized, cut, copied, pasted, and deleted. The main
screen of ReDAQ Shape shows a representation of the system inclusive of the
communication module and any installed I/O modules. This graphic is updated
as I/O modules are added to or removed from the system. Modules can be
given unique identifiers, and I/O module channels can be assigned tag names
to represent process variables they control.
Based on programming tools incorporated from Microsoft Visual Studio and
National Instruments Measurement StudioTM, ReDAQ Shape software for
MAQ20 has a very short user-learning curve and offers integrated, across-theboard applicability for data acquisition and control applications.

With proportional and derivative modes that can act on error or a process
variable, the controller can eliminate process bumps from set point changes.
Gap control provides improved loop stability near the set point while retaining
high response speed. The ability to change tuning settings without disturbing
the process when the controller is in automatic mode and the option to track
the set points of process variables during manual operation are both key
features that enable smooth operation in both manual and automatic modes.
Features
The powerful Dataforth MAQ20 communications module is capable of

autonomously running up to 32 PID control loops; faceplates within ReDAQ
Shape software enable an engineer or operator to configure the many features
of loop control and monitor processes.
There is no limit to the types of processes that can be controlled with the
Dataforth PID controller, and its features are paralleled only by state-of-the-art
distributed control systems.

Dataforths 8B isoLynx SLX300 data acquisition system builds on the proven

reliability and outstanding performance of the SCM5B isoLynx SLX200 DAQ
system and miniature-sized SensorLex 8B isolated signal conditioning
modules to provide a compact, low cost solution for wide ranging, rugged
industrial applications. Like the SLX200, the SLX300 ensures superior
reliability, accuracy, and isolation. Through the use of pluggable modules, the
SLX300 offers maximum flexibility of analog and digital channel configuration
for factory automation, process control, test and measurement, machine
control, and data acquisition applications. The isoLynx SLX300 uses industry
standard Modbus RTU and TCP protocols, thus enabling communication with
a wide range of existing third-party software tools and HMI/SCADA packages.
Fast I/O Channel-to-Channel Isolated
Using Dataforths SensorLex 8B analog modules and SCMD digital modules,
the flexible, modular SLX300 design can be configured with up to twelve
channels of isolated analog input, four channels of isolated analog output, and
eight channels of isolated digital I/O (Figure 3). The isolation rating is
1500Vrms from input to output and from channel to channel. The system can
be powered by +5VDC or a wide range 7 to 34VDC using the 8BPWR-2
module, and it can be either panel or DIN rail mounted. Multiple powerful, highspeed microcontrollers and high performance data converters at the heart of
the system enable mix and match analog and digital I/O at sustained rates of
up to 3.0kS/s. In addition, a burst mode of operation is provided for analog input
that allows sampling up to 100kS/s on analog input channels.
Industrys Widest I/O Selection
The isoLynx SLX300 can be configured for any application by selecting from
over 89 analog I/O modules and 14 digital I/O modules. These module selections
enable monitoring of common industrial signals including millivolt, volt, milliamp,
amp, linearized and non-linearized thermocouple, 3- and 4-wire RTD, potentiometer, slidewire, strain gage, AC-to-True RMS output, frequency, 2-wire
transmitter, and DC LVDT. Analog output modules provide isolated high-level
voltage and current options. Industry standard digital I/O solid-state relay
modules provide AC/DC input and output monitoring and control. Both analog
and digital output channels can be configured as alarm outputs. The ability to
CE Compliant
isoLynx
Description
mix and match module types on a per-channel basis ensures maximum system
flexibility. Operation and storage temperature for the isoLynx SLX300, as well
as for all analog and digital I/O modules used in the most extreme environments, is 40C to +85C; the relative humidity range is 0 to 95% noncondensing.
The SLX300 system is C-UL-US Listed, CE Compliant, and designed for
operation in Class I, Division 2 Hazardous Locations.
Powerful Functionality
The SLX300 has many features and special purpose functions specifically for
data acquisition and control. Current sampled data from analog input channels
is stored to a 192k sample buffer. Data is available as minimum, maximum, and
average readings with selectable averaging weight. A burst mode of operation
allows up to 100kS/s sampling rate on analog input channels and also provides
a waveform generator function using the analog output channels. Continuous
scan mode scans up to 16 input channels, and burst sampling mode can be set
up with a 48 entry scan list to specify scan sequence, scan rate, and scan count.
In addition to performing standard digital I/O, the eight digital I/O channels can
be configured to perform seven different special functions: pulse/frequency
counter, pulse/frequency counter with de-bounce, waveform measurement,
time between events, frequency generator, pulse width modulation (PWM)
generator, and one-shot generator. The SLX300 also allows four alarm states
high, high-high, low, and low-low to be set on the analog input and digital
I/O special function channels with alarm output mapped to a user selectable
analog or digital output channel.
Configurable analog and digital default output values ensure output signals are
set to safe values upon system startup or when unexpected power outages or
brownouts occur. System status and mode LEDs constantly display communication activity, mode of operation, and alarm status.

Flexible Communications and Configuration

The isoLynx SLX300 interfaces to a host system through a choice of
communication links. RS-232 or RS-485 serial links operate from 2.4kbps to
921.6kbps, use true fail-safe transceivers, and have software controlled
termination networks, eliminating the need for dip switches. A USB Virtual
Communications Port provides a common connection to modern computers
and a 10/100 Base-T Ethernet connection is also available. Up to 32 systems
can be multidropped on the RS-485 serial link and up to 4 sockets are
supported on Ethernet.
The Modbus RTU protocol used on serial and USB interfaces and the Modbus
TCP protocol used on the Ethernet interface are open, industry standard
protocols that define how devices on a network communicate with each other.
This ensures that the system can be integrated seamlessly onto existing
Modbus networks using common Modbus function codes.
Free configuration software is provided for quick and easy system setup (see
Figure 1 and Figure 2). Channel I/O setup, communication, default output, and
other parameters are stored in non-volatile memory. A LabVIEW VI library
enables fast application development using industry standard tools. The
SLX300 system can be either panel or DIN rail mounted. It is also available in
a rack-mounted or bench top 1U enclosure.

Description
Faulty thousand-dollar data acquisition systems can shut down billion-dollar
operations. The SCM5B isoLynx SLX200 is a fast, intelligent, fully isolated
data acquisition system providing superior reliability, accuracy, and isolation
for a wide range of rugged industrial applications. It offers maximum flexibility
of analog and digital I/O selection at competitive prices for a broad range of
factory automation, process control, test and measurement, machine control,
and data acquisition applications. The isoLynx SLX200 implements the
industry standard Modbus RTU and TCP protocols, thereby enabling communication with a wide variety of existing third-party software drivers and HMI/SCADA
packages. It is fully certified by Modbus-IDA and compatible with OPC.
Supported by ReDAQ Freedom Software

All Analog I/O Modules Certified to CSA C/US,
CE, and ATEX Requirements
SLX200 & SLX101 CE Compliant
SLX200 CSA C/US Certified
All I/O Channel-to-Channel Isolated

The flexible, modular design combines a 6- or 12-channel I/O Controller base
system and optional 8- or 16-channel expansion backplanes, which can be
either panel or DIN rail mounted (see Figure 1).
One I/O Controller unit can operate up to 60 channels of differential analog
I/O and 128 channels of digital I/O, using Dataforths SCM5B analog
and SCMD digital modules. The Controller contains a powerful high-speed
microcontroller, A/D and D/A subsystem, communication interface, data
storage memory, and status LEDs. The A/D system is built around a 16-bit,
successive approximation converter and can convert a maximum 60-channel
configuration in 17msec. The D/A converter is also a 16-bit device and can
write a maximum 60-channel configuration in 33msec.
Industrys Widest I/O Selection
By selecting from over 250 standard and custom single-channel SCM5B
analog I/O modules, the isoLynx SLX200 can interface to a broad spectrum of
analog signals, including millivolt, volt, milliamp, amp, linearized and
non-linearized thermocouple, RTD, potentiometer, slidewire, strain gage, ACto-True RMS output, frequency, 2-wire transmitter, and transducers requiring
DC excitation. Analog output modules are available which provide a wide
selection of current or voltage output ranges. Industry standard miniature
digital I/O modules are used for digital AC/DC input and output requirements.
Users can mix and match most I/O module types on a per-channel basis, thus
reducing wasted I/O channels and saving costs.
Interface to digital signals is provided by the dedicated SLX101 digital I/O
backpanel. This intelligent backpanel is designed to interface to the SLX200
but can also be used stand-alone for digital I/O only systems.
182
The operation and storage temperature range for the SCM5B isoLynx SLX200
is 40C to +85C; the relative humidity is 0 to 95% noncondensing. Power
requirement is +5VDC, 2.5W base system with no modules installed. The
SLX200 and SLX101 are CE Compliant. SLX200 is CSA C/US Certified for
Class I, Division 2 Hazardous Locations.
Flexible Communications and Configuration
The SCM5B isoLynx SLX200 communicates on RS-232/RS-485 serial links up
to 115.2kbps or 10Mb/s Ethernet. Up to 32 systems can be multidropped on the
RS-485 serial link and up to 4 sockets are supported on Ethernet. Optional
Ethernet communication boards are available; these can be factory installed
or field upgradeable.
The communication protocol is Modbus RTU for RS-232/RS-485 or Modbus
TCP for Ethernet. Modbus is an open, industry-standard protocol that defines
how devices on a network or bus communicate with each other. Full certification of the SCM5B isoLynx SLX200 by Modbus-IDA ensures the device can be
integrated onto existing Modbus networks, and most common Modbus function codes are supported. The system is also OPC compatible.
As device configuration is performed using standard Modbus function codes,
any third-party software application that supports the Modbus RTU and/or
Modbus TCP protocol can be used to configure the device. Configuration
parameters are stored in non-volatile memory, so configuration only has to
happen once. Free configuration software is provided to ensure configuration
is easy and intuitive (see Figure 2 and Figure 3).

Powerful Firmware Features

output signals get set at safe values when unexpected power outages or
brownouts occur. Power-on self-test results can be obtained visually by
glancing at a status LED or programatically by reading the appropriate register
on the device. A section of memory is set aside for general purpose user data,
some of which is stored in non-volatile memory.
isoLynx
The SCM5B isoLynx SLX200 hosts many powerful firmware features. Two
analog scan modes are supported: one for general purpose signal monitoring
with running average, maximum, and minimum values available for each
analog input; the other with user-configurable scan parameters such as scan
list, scan rate, and scan count, used to obtain data with highly accurate time
correlation between samples. Configurable default output values ensure

ReDAQ Freedom software provides an effective solution for factory automation, process control, test and measurement, machine control, and data
acquisition applications. ReDAQ Freedom enables data to be monitored and
outputs to be set, locally or remotely, via an intranet or the Internet.
Establishing a complete automation or test system with ReDAQ Freedom is
simple. The core software runs under Windows and sets up the central server,
which then can connect to many SLX200 units via one or more networks. The
networks can be RS-485, dedicated Ethernet connections, or a combination
of the two. Users access the system with an intranet or the Internet; no
application software is required because the HMI is delivered via web
browsers.
Because this powerful software is browser-based, remote control and monitoring are readily achieved. The administrator creates an I/O website using
ReDAQ Freedom - Designer, which generates Java applets such as pie
charts, histograms, graphs, and mimics using a graphical user interface.
When viewed in users browsers, these dynamic real-time graphical displays
respond in real-time to external signals. Input data to the graphics comes from
SCM5B isolated analog signal conditioning modules in the SLX200 units.

automatically and continuously captures data at regular intervals. This historized
data then can be used to generate history tables or graphs.
ReDAQ Freedom also provides for the exchange of current and historical data
with other applications via XML. In addition, users can create Excel spreadsheets using current and historical data.

The SCMD Series

SCMD miniature digital I/O modules are solid-state devices which send ON and
OFF electrical signals to and from a computer. The input modules, depending on
the type selected, convert AC or DC voltages to DC logic signals and send them
to the computer system. Output modules work in the opposite direction, switching
either AC or DC circuits on or off in response to logic-level voltage commands from
the computer. SCMD modules are available in miniature versions of four basic
types: AC input, DC input, AC output, and DC output.
Applications
Input Modules Interface To:
SCMDMIAC and MIDC miniature input modules are used for sensing ON
and OFF AC or DC voltage levels in the ranges 10-60, 90-140, and 180280VAC and 3.3-32 and 10-60VDC. Models with low noise, fast switching,
and other special features are also available.
Proximity Switches
Limit Switches
Photoelectric Switches
SCMDMOAC and MODC are miniature output modules accepting 5VDC or

24VDC inputs and providing several different output ranges, including
12/24 to 140/280VAC and 0/3/5 to 50/60/200VDC. Fast switching, and other
special options are also available.
TTL Devices
SCMDMORO and MORC are miniature relay output modules used for
switching AC and DC loads up to 125Vrms or 100VDC at maximum 30WDC

DSCA
Each Instrument-Class DSCA module provides a single channel of isolated

analog input or output. Input modules accept analog voltage or current signals
from all types of field sensors and sources and filter, isolate, amplify, linearize,
and convert these input signals to high-level analog outputs suitable for use
in data acquisition, test and measurement, and control system applications.
Output modules accept high-level analog voltage signals from a system, then buffer,
isolate, filter, and amplify them before providing a current or voltage output to a
field device.

Analog Voltage Input Signal Conditioners, Narrow Bandwidth

Description
Module output is either voltage or current. For current output models a dedicated
loop supply is provided at terminal 3 (+OUT) with loop return located at terminal
4 (-OUT). The system-side load may be either floating or grounded.
Features
Each DSCA30/31 voltage input module provides a single channel of analog

input which is filtered, isolated, amplified, and converted to a high-level voltage
output (Figure 1). Signal filtering is accomplished with a five-pole filter which
provides 85dB of normal-mode rejection at 60Hz and 80dB at 50Hz. An
anti-aliasing pole is located on the field side of the isolation barrier, and the other
four poles are on the system side. After the initial field-side filtering, the input
signal is chopped by a proprietary chopper circuit. Isolation is provided
by transformer coupling, again using a proprietary technique to suppress
transmission of common mode spikes or surges.

Wide Range of Supply Voltage
Special input circuits provide protection against accidental connection of

power-line voltages up to 240VAC and against transient events as defined by
ANSI/IEEE C37.90.1. Protection circuits are also present on the signal output
and power input terminals to guard against transient events and power reversal.
Signal and power lines are secured to the module using screw terminals which
are in pluggable terminal blocks for ease of system assembly and reconfiguration.
160dB CMR
The modules have excellent stability over time and do not require recalibration,
however, zero and span settings are adjustable up to 5% to accommodate
situations where fine-tuning is desired. The adjustments are made using
potentiometers located under the front panel label and are non-interactive for
ease of use.

DSCA33
Isolated True RMS Input Signal Conditioners

Description
The field voltage or current input signal is processed through an AC coupled

pre-amplifier and RMS converter on the field side of the isolation barrier. The
converted dc signal is then filtered and chopped by a proprietary chopper
circuit and transferred across the transformer isolation barrier, suppressing
transmission of common mode spikes and surges. The computer side circuitry
reconstructs, filters and converts the signal to industry standard outputs.
Module output is either voltage or current. For current output models a
dedicated loop supply is provided at terminal 3 (+OUT) with loop return located
at terminal 4 (-OUT). The system-side load may be either floating or grounded.
and power input terminals to guard against transient events and power
reversal. Signal and power lines are secured to the module using screw
terminals which are pluggable terminal blocks for ease of system assembly
and reconfiguration.
DSCA33 modules have excellent stability over time and do not require
recalibration, however, both zero and span settings are adjustable to accommodate situations where fine tuning is desired. The adjustments are made
using potentiometers located under the front panel label and are
non-interactive for ease of use.
Due to circuit limitations, DSCA33-04x and -05x are not ATEX compliant.
Features
Each DSCA33 True RMS input module provides a single channel of AC input
which is converted to its True RMS DC value, filtered, isolated, amplified, and

Linearized 2- or 3-Wire RTD Input Signal Conditioners

Description
RTD excitation is provided from the module using a precision current source.
Lead compensation is achieved by matching two current paths which cancels
the effects of lead resistance. The excitation current is small ( approx. 0.25mA)
which minimizes self-heating of the RTD.
Features
Each DSCA34 RTD input module provides a single channel of RTD input which
is filtered, isolated, amplified, linearized, and converted to a high-level voltage
provides 85dB of normal-mode rejection at 60Hz and 80dB at 50Hz. An antialiasing pole is located on the field side of the isolation barrier, and the other four
poles are on the system side. After the initial field-side filtering, the input signal
is chopped by a proprietary chopper circuit. Isolation is provided by transformer
coupling, again using a proprietary technique to suppress transmission of
common mode spikes or surges.

Nickel RTDs
Special input circuits provide protection against accidental connection of powerline voltages up to 240VAC and against transient events as defined by ANSI/

DSCA37
Non-Linearized Thermocouple Input Signal Conditioners

Description
The DSCA37 can interface to eight industry standard thermocouple types: J, K, T,

E, R, S, B and N. Each module has cold junction compensation to correct for
parasitic thermocouples formed by the thermocouple wire and input screw
terminals on the module. Upscale open thermocouple detection is provided
by internal circuitry. Downscale indication can be implemented by installing a
47M, 20% resistor between screw terminals 6 and 8 on the input terminal block.
Power lines are secured to the module using screw terminals which are in
pluggable terminal blocks for ease of system assembly and reconfiguration.
Features
Each DSCA37 non-linearized thermocouple input module provides a single

60Hz and 80dB at 50Hz. An anti-aliasing pole is located on the field side of the
isolation barrier, and the other four poles are on the system side. After the initial

Features
Each DSCA38 strain gage input module provides a single channel of strain gage
output (Figure 1). Signal filtering is accomplished with a five-pole filter which is
optimized for step response. An anti-aliasing pole is located on the field side of
the isolation barrier, and the other four poles are on the system side. After the
initial field-side filtering, the input signal is chopped by a proprietary chopper

Interfaces to 100 through 10k Strain Gages

Industry Standard Output of 10V,
The DSCA38 can interface to transducers with a nominal resistance of 100 to

10k. Strain gage excitation is provided from the module by a stable 10V or
3.333V source. This source is fully isolated, allowing the amplifier inputs to
operate over the full range of the excitation voltage. This feature enables the
module to be interfaced to other sensors requiring exctitation.
Special input circuits provide signal input and excitation protection against
accidental connection of power-line voltages up to 240VAC and against
transient events as defined by ANSI/IEEE C37.90.1. Protection circuits are also
present on the signal output and power input terminals to guard against transient

Frequency Input Signal Conditioners

Description
The frequency input signal can be a TTL level or zero-crossing signal. Terminal
7 (-IN) on the field-side terminal block is the common or ground connection for
input signals. A TTL signal is connected from terminal 6 (+IN) to terminal 7 (-IN),
while a zero-crossing signal is connected from terminal 5 (+EXC) to terminal 7
(-IN). Input circuitry for each of the signal types has hysteresis built in. An input
signal must cross entirely through the hysteresis region in order to trigger the
threshold comparator.
A +5.1V excitation is available for use with magnetic pick-up or contact-closure
type sensors. The excitation is available on terminal 8 (-EXC) with return at
terminal 7 (-IN).

Linearized Thermocouple Input Signal Conditioners

Description
Features
Each DSCA47 thermocouple input module provides a single channel of thermocouple input which is filtered, isolated, amplified, linearized, and converted to a
high-level voltage output (Figure 1). Signal filtering is accomplished with a fivepole filter which provides 85dB of normal-mode rejection at 60Hz and 80dB at
50Hz. An anti-aliasing pole is located on the field side of the isolation barrier, and
the other four poles are on the system side. After the initial field-side filtering, the
transformer coupling, again using a proprietary technique to suppress transmission of common mode spikes or surges.

Thermocouples
The DSCA47 can interface to eight industry standard thermocouple types: J, K, T,

E, R, S, B and N. Each module has cold junction compensation to correct for
parasitic thermocouples formed by the thermocouple wire and input screw terminals on the module. Upscale open thermocouple detection is provided by internal
circuitry. Downscale indication can be implemented by installing a 47MW, 20%
resistor between screw terminals 6 and 8 on the input terminal block.
Power lines are secured to the module using screw terminals which are in
pluggable terminal blocks for ease of system assembly and reconfiguration.

Description
The input signal is chopped by a proprietary DC chopper circuit, isolation is

provided by transformer coupling, a proprietary technique is used to suppress
transmission of common mode spikes or surges, and the output signal from
the secondary of the transformer is reconstructed to the original input signal.
Features
Each DSCL20 loop powered isolator provides a single channel of analog signal
protection by electrically isolating its input from output for any DC process
signal in the range of 0-20mA (or 4-20mA). The DSCL20 operates passively,
obtaining its power from the transmitted signal (see Figure 1).

The following grounding condition must be observed when programming the instrument.
If one of the power supply or input wires is grounded to earth, a PC
without an earth connection must be used when programming

Description
Dataforths DSCT series of loop powered 2-wire transmitters consists of seven
family groups with a total of 48 transmitter models that interface to a wide variety
of voltage, current, temperature and position measuring devices. As one of
Dataforths Instrument Class products, the DSCT family provides superior
specifications such as 0.03% accuracy, five poles of filtering, 1500Vrms
continuous isolation, low output noise, and much more.
The DSCT 2-wire transmitter conditions and sends analog signals from sensors
located in the field to monitoring and control equipment, usually computers,
located thousands of feet away in central control areas. The DSCT accepts a
wide range of inputs, including millivolt, volt, milliamp, thermocouple, RTD,
potentiometer, and slide wire. It operates on power from a 2-wire signal loop and
modulates the supply current to represent the input signal within a 4 to 20mA
range.
Two-wire transmission loops are a very economical method for connecting
sensors to distant control rooms. Since the DSCT perates from the signal loop
current, no additional, expensive power and wiring are required. Only low cost,
twisted pair wiring is needed.

Linearized 2- or 3-Wire RTD Input Transmitters

Description
RTD excitation is provided from the transmitter using a precision current source.
The excitation currents are very small (0.26mA max for 100 Pt and 120 Ni)
which minimizes self-heating of the RTD. Linearization is achieved by creating
a non-linear transfer function through the module itself. This non-linear transfer
function is configured at the factory and is designed to be equal and opposite to
the specific RTD non-linearity. Lead compensation is achieved by matching two
current paths thus canceling the effects of lead resistance.
The specifications listed are for a 3-wire connection. A 2-wire connection of the
RTD to the module is also possible and is achieved by adding a jumper between
pin 5 (+EXC) and pin 6 (+IN) on the terminal block and connecting the RTD leads
between pin 6 (+IN) and pin 7 (-IN). The 2-wire connection nullifies the lead
resistance compensation feature of the module.
Each DSCT34 RTD input transmitter provides a single channel of RTD input
which is filtered, isolated, amplified, linearized, and converted to a process
current output (Figure 1). Signal filtering is accomplished with a five-pole filter,
which provides 85dB of normal-mode rejection at 60Hz and 80dB at 50Hz. An

Non-Linearized Thermocouple Input Transmitters

Description
The DSCT37 can interface to eight industry standard thermocouple types:

J, K, T, E, R, S, B and N. Each transmitter is cold-junction compensated to
correct for parasitic thermocouples formed by the thermocouple wire and
screw terminals on the transmitter. Upscale open thermocouple detection is
provided by circuitry. Downscale indication can be implemented by installing a
47M, 20% resistor between screw terminals 6 (+IN) and 8 (-EXC) on the
input terminal block.
transient events as defined by ANSI/IEEE C37.90.1. Loop power lines are
secured to the module using screw terminals, which are in pluggable terminal
blocks for ease of system assembly and reconfiguration. Transmitter zero and
span settings are adjustable up to 10%. The adjustments are made using
ease of use.
Features
Each DSCT37 non-linearized thermocouple input transmitter provides a single

converted to a process current output (Figure 1). Signal filtering is accomplished
with a five-pole filter, which provides 85dB of normal-mode rejection at 60Hz and
80dB at 50Hz.An anti-aliasing pole is located on the field side of the isolation
barrier, and the other four are on the process loop side. After the initial field-side
filtering, the input signal is chopped by a proprietary chopper circuit. Isolation is
provided by transformer coupling, again using a proprietary technique to
suppress transmission of common mode spikes or surges.

Description

module itself. This non-linear transfer function is configured at the factory and
is designed to be equal and opposite to the thermocouple non-linearity.
The DSCT47 can interface to eight industry standard thermocouple types: J, K,
T, E, R, S, B and N. Each transmitter is cold-junction compensated to correct
for parasitic thermocouples formed by the thermocouple wire and screw
terminals on the transmitter. Upscale open thermocouple detection is provided
by circuitry. Downscale indication can be implemented by installing a 47M,
20% resistor between screw terminals 6 (+IN) and 8 (-EXC) on the input
terminal block.
transient events as defined by ANSI/IEEE C37.90.1. Loop power lines are
secured to the module using screw terminals, which are in pluggable terminal
blocks for ease of system assembly and reconfiguration. Transmitter zero and
Features
Each DSCT47 thermocouple input transmitter provides a single channel of

thermocouple input which is filtered, isolated, amplified, linearized, and
converted to a process current output (Figure 1). Signal filtering is accomplished
with a five-pole filter, which provides 85dB of normal-mode rejection at 60Hz and
80dB at 50Hz. An anti-aliasing pole is located on the field side of the isolation
barrier, and the other four are on the process loop side. After the initial
field-side filtering, the input signal is chopped by a proprietary chopper circuit.
Isolation is provided by transformer coupling, again using a proprietary

DSCT Wiring Diagram
DSCT Loop Drive Capability
The DSCT Transmitters wide range of Loop Supply Voltage (10.8V to 60V) makes it a versatile device which can be
used in most any current loop. The maximum loop resistance is determined by subtracting the transmitters minimum
loop supply voltage from the total loop supply voltage and
dividing the result by the maximum loop current (see graph).
The low Loop Supply Voltage of 10.8V allows the DSCT to
be used in applications with low output power supplies and
the high Loop Supply Voltage of 60V allows use in applications with long distance current loops.

Protecting Valuable Industrial LANS and Data Communication Systems
Our LDM Series line drivers and converters protect host computers and
equipment and extend the distances over which computers, terminals, and
other devices can communicate within hazardous industrial and institutional
environments up to 12 miles using wire pairs and current loop protocols, or two
miles with fiber optic data links for total electrical isolation.

1500 Vrms continuous isolation and data transfer up to 115.2kbps with automatic RS-485 line control while powered from +10 to +30 VDC.
Features
Industrial LANs and data communication systems stretch over long distances,
inside and outside, with signals exposed to electrical transients, noise, ground
loops, power surges, and lightning. Commercial communications equipment
often is not designed for use in these environments, which can lead to unreliable
signal quality, damage to expensive peripherals, computers, and other online
equipment, and production downtime. Our heavy duty products harden and
protect these systems, and can extend communications for many miles
without expensive low-capacitance cabling.

DCP35
DIN Rail Signal-Powered RS-232 Line Drivers

Description
The DCP35 series does not require a power supply for operation. The use of low
power circuits and a sensitive optically isolated receiver allows the devices to
derive all necessary power from the RS-232 data and control signals. They are
designed for full-duplex, asynchronous operation over two, DC-continuous,
non-loaded, twisted-wire pairs. Two-wire simplex operation may be accomplished over one twisted- wire pair. The line driver circuits and, consequently,
the host device are protected from electrical transients due to lightning strikes
or operation of heavy industrial equipment.
Each device features a convenient DCE (Data Communication Equipment) to
DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) switch which reverses pins 2 and 3 of the
RS-232 connector. For installation and system troubleshooting each unit has
diagnostic Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) on the transmit and receive lines.
The RS-232 connector may be ordered as a male or female 9-pin connector.
Field connection is made through pluggable solderless screw terminals.
Features
The DCP35 series of products is designed to allow RS-232 devices to be

inter-connected over distances sufficient to cover any industrial or institutional
complex of buildings. These line drivers feature a DIN rail mountable enclosure
for application to a junction box, a panel, a relay rack, the sides of computer
equipment, or anywhere a DIN rail can be mounted.

LDM30
General Purpose RS-232 Line Drivers

Description
The LDM30 series is designed for full-duplex, asynchronous operation over

two, DC-continuity, non-loaded, twisted-wire pairs. Through special highspeed optically-coupled circuits they may communicate at data rates up to
57,600bps. A self-powered model and a host-powered model are available.
The self-powered unit uses 12VAC from a wall-mounted transformer while the
host-powered unit takes DC power from pins 9 and 10 of the RS-232
connector. The line driver circuits and, consequently, the host device are
protected from electrical transients due to lightning strikes or operation of
heavy industrial equipment.
Each device features a convenient Data-Communication Equipment (DCE) to
Data-Terminal Equipment (DTE) switch which reverses pins 2 and 3 of the
RS-232 connector. For installation and troubleshooting, each unit has
diagnostic Light-Emitting Diodes (LEDs) on the transmit and receive lines.
Features
The LDM30 series of products is designed to allow video display terminals

(VDTs) and other RS-232 devices to be connected over distances sufficient to
cover any industrial or institutional complex of buildings. These line drivers
feature a rugged aluminum enclosure small enough to mount on the back panel
of VDT units, saving valuable desk and floor space.

LDM35
Signal Powered RS-232 Line Drivers

Description
The LDM35 series does not require a power supply for operation. The use of low
power circuits and a sensitive optical receiver allows the devices to derive all
necessary power from the RS-232 data and control signal. They are designed
for full-duplex, asynchronous operation over two, DC-continuity, non-loaded,
twisted-wire pairs. Two-wire simplex operation may be accomplished over two
wires. The line driver circuits and, consequently, the host device are
protected from electrical transients due to lightning strikes or operation of heavy
industrial equipment.

Description
The LDM70 series is designed for full duplex, asynchronous operation over two
DC-continuity, non-loaded, twisted-wire pairs. Through special high-speed
optically coupled circuits, they may communicate at data rates up to 57,600 bits
per second. A handshake operation is implemented over the same two-wire
pairs. A self-powered model and a host-powered model are available. The
self-powered unit uses 12VAC from a wall-mounted transformer, while
the host-powered unit takes DC power from pins 9 and 10 of the RS-232
connector. The line driver circuits and, consequently, the host device are
protected from electrical transients due to lightning strikes or operation of
heavy industrial equipment.

LDM80
Signal Powered Fiber Optic Converters

Description
The LDM80 is equivalent to a 3-wire, full duplex, RS-232 circuit. Handshake

signals are locally connected as in Figure 1. Indicating LEDs come on during
a "SPACE" on transmit or receive data. A TD/RD reversing DIP switch is
provided for connection to DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) or DCE (Data
Communication Equipment) ports.
Features
The LDM80 is a small, inexpensive fiber optic transmitter/receiver completely

powered by the host RS-232 port. The enclosure for the LDM80 is a conductive
shell which greatly reduces RF radiation and susceptibility. The rugged metal
enclosure is small enough to mount on the back panel of typical computer
equipment saving valuable desk and floor space. A pair of these units allows
most RS-232C cable links to be replaced and extended with a duplex fiber optic
cable. The normal 50-foot (15m) RS-232 limit may be extended to 2.2 miles
(3.5 km). Fiber optic data communications provide complete EMI/RFI rejection, isolation, elimination of ground loops, and reduced error rates. Data
security is enhanced by almost nonexistent electromagnetic emissions. The
RS-232 connection is through male or female EIA 25-pin connectors. The fiber
optic connection is through ST connectors.

LDM85
Fiber Optic Converters

Description
The LDM85 is packaged in a rugged aluminum enclosure small enough to

mount on the back panel of typical computer equipment, saving valuable desk
and floor space. The RS-232 connection is through male or female EIA
25-pin connectors. The fiber optic connection is either through SMA (905) or
ST connectors. Additional features include a TD/RD reversing switch for
connection to DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) or DCE (Data Communication
Equipment) ports, three diagnostic LED indicators, and locally connected
handshake lines. The TTL port combined with the RS-232 port may be
interfaced to RS-422/423 ports in 4-wire point-to-point mode only.
Features
The LDM85 is a small, inexpensive fiber optic transmitter/receiver. It features

a complete RS-232/422/423 port as well as high speed TTL data transmit and
receive. It is capable of data rates from DC to 5Mbps. A pair of these units
allows most RS-232C cable links to be replaced and extended with a duplex
fiber optic cable. The normal 50-foot RS-232 limit may be extended to 1.2 miles
(2 km). Fiber optic data communications provide complete EMI/RFI rejection,
isolation, elimination of ground loops, and reduced error rates. Data security
is enhanced by almost nonexistent electromagnetic emissions. A unique
multipoint capability allows local area networks to be formed with the isolation
and data security of a fiber optic data highway.
