Overview
Specification
Download

This expansion set supports the measurement of current loop communication which is still used in FA as a communication method resistant to external noise.

Applicable analyzers: LE-8200A, LE-8200

Feature

● Online monitoring of commonly used 10mA to 40mA current loop
● High-speed monitoring of current loop communication is available
● Passive and active simulation transmission output
● Current (20mA/40mA) at the active setting can be selected by DIP switch
● Signal polarity (current presence/absence) setting during non-communication corresponding to a line in which multiple nodes are connected by current loop
● Easy connection with the terminal block

Current loop measurement pod (adapter for current loop)

<Description of the dip switch>

Switch No.   OFF ON
1*1 SD side Passive Active
2*2 20mA supply 40mA supply
3*1 RD side Passive Active
4*2 20mA supply 40mA supply
*1: Set OFF for monitoring.
*2: The value of current loop is avaiable, only when "Active" is selected.

Analog Waveform Analysis

It displays the waveforms at a sampling rate up to 40M for 2 channels and supports ±12V. This function helps to identify hardware problems. You can also use it for educational purpose for people studying data communications.



A probe cable with test clips is attached.
