PCE Instruments PCE-SCI-D Configurable Universal Measuring Transducer for Electrical Signals

Overview

The PCE Instruments PCE-SCI-D Configurable Universal Measuring Transducer for Electrical Signals is a versatile device that functions as both a signal doubler and signal converter for industrial process signals. Accepting input signals of 4...20 mA and 0...10V DC, this transducer also provides excitation voltage when needed. It features two outputs, with output 1 configurable to 4...20 mA and output 2 selectable between 4...20 mA or 0...10V DC. The PCE-SCI-D incorporates quadruple isolation, effectively preventing ground loops and voltage spike propagation, thus ensuring signal integrity and protecting connected equipment. Configuration is made simple and efficient via two buttons and a 7-segment display accessible behind the front cover, and a password function is available to secure configuration settings. Designed for robust industrial use, this transducer offers cost-effective integration into various applications and can be optionally customized to meet individual requirements.

In industrial automation and process control, accurate and reliable signal transmission is paramount. Ground loops and voltage spikes can introduce errors and damage equipment, while the need to duplicate or convert signals often necessitates multiple devices. The PCE-SCI-D addresses these challenges by providing a single, configurable unit that isolates, duplicates, and converts electrical signals. Its ability to accept and output both current and voltage signals, combined with its robust isolation and configuration options, makes it a highly adaptable and cost-effective solution for a wide range of industrial applications.

Key features include its ability to duplicate analog signals, compatibility with 4...20 mA and 0...10V DC inputs and outputs, quick configuration using two buttons and a 7-segment display, DIN rail mounting for easy installation, galvanic isolation of inputs and outputs, and a wide power supply range of 24...250V AC/DC. These features combine to offer a reliable, versatile, and user-friendly solution for signal conditioning in industrial settings.
