signal isolation and signal condition for industrial processes and manufacturing

Frequency Converter

Frequency converters allow instrumentation to communicate as a single, integrated system by changing the output frequency of one device into a readable input for another device. Sometimes called a frequency changer, f/l-f/f frequency converters are used for rotating machinery where speed is monitored and converts rotation to mechanical speed. They can also match new speed sensors to original units and control process temperature, pressure, or flow without the use of a separate controller.

4225 Frequency Converter

4225 Frequency Converter by PR Electronics

The 4225 is a universal f/l-f/f frequency converter that is capable of receiving NAMUR, NPN, Contact NPN, PNP, Tacho, TTL, S0, and special voltage or current AC frequencies and converts them into programmable unipolar or bipolar mA / V frequency or relay. Equipment such as fans and pumps can be optimized based on information transmitted directly from the engine via the 4225 frequency converter. This also removes the need for secondary controllers while increasing accuracy and improving response time, which often reduces energy consumption in addition to reducing wear on equipment from excess use resulting in an overall reduction of operation costs.

How A Frequency Converter Works

Converting Frequencies

Frequency converters allow various instrumentation to communicate together by converting an AC frequency to a DC frequency. Through the use of a frequency converter, AC outputs from equipment like an engine can directly be used to signal operating conditions for other instrumentation, such as a fan that requires a DC frequency input. Since many types of instrumentation require a DC input, frequency converters are commonly used in industrial processes, manufacturing, and power utilities to allow equipment to work as an integrated system.
