5B Industry Standard
The 5B Series represents an innovative generation of low cost, high performance plug-in signal conditioners. Designed for industrial applications, these modules incorporate highly reliable transformer-based isolation and automated surface-mount manufacturing technology. They are compact, economical components whose performance exceeds that available from more expensive devices. Combining 1500 V rms continuous isolation, ±0.05% calibrated accuracy, small size and low cost, the 5B Series is an attractive alternative to expensive signal conditioners and in-house designs.
All modules are potted and identical in pinout and size (2.27" x 2.32" x 0.595"). They can be mixed and matched, permitting users to address their exact needs, and may be "hot swapped" without disturbing field wiring or power. The isolated input modules provide 0 to +5 V or ±5 V outputs and accept J, K, T, E, R, S, N or B type thermocouples; 100 ohm platinum, 10 ohm copper and 120 ohm nickel RTDs, frequency inputs, potentiometer, slide wire, full or half bridge strain gage, 2-wire transmitter, mV, volt, 4-20 mA or 0-20 mA, and wide bandwidth (10 kHz) mV and volt signals. These modules feature complete signal conditioning functions including 240 V rms input protection, filtering, chopper stabilized low drift ±1 µV/°C amplification, 1500 V rms isolation, linearization for RTD and thermocouple (with model 5B47) inputs and sensor excitation when required. The output module converts a 0 to + 5 V or -5 V to +5 V input to an isolated 4-20 mA or 0-20 mA process current signal. All modules feature excellent common mode rejection and meet industrial transient surge withstand specifications.
There are also a number of backplanes and mounting sockets which provide a complete signal conditioning solution for end users. Each backplane incorporates screw terminals for field wiring inputs and outputs and cold junction sensors for thermocouple applications. Nineteen-inch rack compatible units that can hold up to sixteen modules are available.
These signal conditioners are designed to provide an easy and convenient solution to signal conditioning problems of both designers and end users in measurement and control applications. Typical uses include microcomputer-based measurement systems, standard data acquisition systems, programmable controllers, analog recorders and dedicated control systems. The 5B Series modules are ideally suited to applications where monitoring and control of temperature, pressure, flow, rotation and other analog signals are required.
FM, CSA and CE Approvals
The 5B Series modules and backplanes are approved by Factory Mutual (FM) and the 5B Series modules are approved by the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) for use in Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C and D locations. These approvals certify that the 5B Series is suitable for use in locations where a hazardous concentration of flammable gas may exist only under fault conditions of operation. Equipment of this category is called "nonincendive" and they need no special enclosures or other physical safeguards.
The 5B Series modules and backplanes have been tested and passed the stringent heavy industrial requirements of the European Union's electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) directive - EN50082-1 and EN50081-2. When used according to installation directions (refer to 5B Series User Manual), any errors caused by EMI/RFI interference will be less than 0.1% of the full scale 5B measurement range (typical @ +25°C), for field strengths up to 10 V/M and frequencies up to 1 GHz.
