iAmpTM Inline Tension Amplifier
The iAmp is a compact amplifier / interface module that connects
directly (via standard industrial connectors) to DFE tension transducers,
or "inline" on transducer connector cables. iAmp's function
is to convert millivolt-level transducer output signals to a 0-to-10
Volt DC signal proportional to tension and a 0-to-1mA signal proportional
to tension.
Using an iAmp module is a simple alternative to mounting a larger,
less flexible electronics device--usually a transducer-interface
circuit card or complete indication package--on a press or machine
frame for tension monitoring. Because it is easily hidden, the iAmp
is an ideal tension amplifier for OEMs and system integrators.

Easy to zero and calibrate, the iAmp is powered by 24 VDC, supplies a 0-to-5V
excitation signal to the transducers it connects to, and accepts DFE transducer
output from 0-to-500 mVDC. Each user-friendly, lock-fit amplifier module
supplies a 0-to-1 mA signal proportional to tension for analog meter readout,
and 0-to-10VDC for direct use by a motor-drive, PLC or other control device.
iAmp is available in a direct-connect version to mount directly onto
DFE transducer connectors. It is also available as an 'inline' amplifier
to be plugged onto transducer connector cables. Male iAmp connectors mate
to DFE's standard cable-end connectors for their corresponding transducer
types.
