Modular smart interfaces expand the functionalty of our amplifiers
MSIs are add-ons for our TRION(3)-18xx-MULTI modules and the TRION-x-dLV-CB16-D9 sensor connection box to expand their measurement functionality.
TRION(3)-18xx-MULTI modules in combination with MSI adapters extend the measurement capability to Charge, LVDT or thermocouple input.
MSIs in combination with TRION-xxxx-dLV-32 and TRION-x-dLV-CB16-D9 sensor connection box extend the measurement modes to BRIDGE, IEPE®, CHARGE, LVDT, Thermocouple, Pt100 to Pt2000, and voltage up to 200V.
Key facts
- Expand functionality of bridge and voltage inputs
- Automatically detected
- Easy channel setup in the right engineering units
- Versions for voltage, thermocouple, RTD, IEPE® and charge sensors
Our new MSI2 series is the improved version of the previous MSI series and compatible with TRION-xdLV-CB16-D9.
The accuracy is approximately 3 times higher than at the previous version. A calibrated high precision cold junction compensation is included in the adapter. It comes with an integrated preamplifier that boosts the tiny thermocouple voltage up to a few volts. That’s why the V2 series can be directly placed next to the sensor. Use extension cables up to 50 m between the MSI and the TRION system instead of having long thermocouple lines with small signal level. That can greatly improve your signal quality in harsh electronic environment.
