General Description

The DAT4531C is a versatile DIN rail mount signal converter designed for precision measurement and conversion of thermistor and potentiometer inputs. It provides high-accuracy voltage or current output signals with full galvanic isolation between input, output, and power supply. With programmable settings via PC software or onboard DIP switches, the DAT4531C ensures flexibility and ease of integration into a wide range of industrial and automation systems.

Key Features

  • Wide Thermistor Compatibility: Supports multiple thermistor types for precise temperature measurement.
  • Potentiometer Input: Designed to read position or resistance from standard potentiometers.
  • Linearized Output: Delivers linear voltage or current signals representing the measured input.
  • Versatile Output Options: Configurable for voltage (e.g. 0-10V) or current (e.g. 4-20mA) output signals.
  • High Accuracy: Engineered for precision monitoring in critical process control applications.
  • Galvanic Isolation: 1500 Vac isolation between input, output, and power supply to prevent ground loops and enhance safety.
  • Flexible Configuration: Programmable via PC interface or onboard DIP switches for field or bench configuration.

The DAT4531C is ideal for use in industrial automation, research, and process control environments where accurate thermistor or potentiometer readings need to be safely transmitted to PLCs, data acquisition systems, or monitoring equipment.
