iAMP2TM Inline Tension Amplifier
The iAmp2 is a compact amplifier module that connects
'inline' via cables with standard industrial connectors, or via cables with flying leads and connectors, to DFE tension transducers. iAmp2'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 iAmp2 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.
The
iAmp2 connects in one of two ways to the transducer(s) and to your
PLC, drive or other control device. Connections from tension
transducers to the iAmp2 can be made directly via cable with standard industrial
connectors on both ends (1C configuration) or via cable with flying leads
going into terminal strips at the input and output of the iAmp2 (TT
configuration).
With the Quik-Cal™ feature recessed push buttons on the module face are used instead of
potentiometers for zero and calibration settings. This saves valuable
setup time since no tension display is needed, no screwdriver is
needed, and no second person is needed to assist. The Zero and Cal
settings are stored digitally.
