Signal Isolators, Converters and Interfaces: The Ins and Outs

Overview:

The ability to depend on accurate monitoring and control signals is absolutely priceless. Inaccuracies can lead to process inefficiencies, process upsets and even very costly plant shutdowns. Much worse, inaccuracies can lead to dangerous safety conditions for plant personnel. Whether you call them signal isolators, signal converters or signal interfaces, these versatile workhorses are indispensable tools that enhance measurement accuracy and protect signals from damaging conditions, thereby saving time, resources and money.

With the extensive array of isolators available, selecting the correct isolator or the right combination of isolator features can be a bit daunting. However, if you take the time to add the right instruments to your process, signal isolators, converters and interfaces can help improve the efficiency and throughput of your process.

This guide by Moore Industries will tell you many of the important ways signal isolators, converters and interfaces can be used, and what to look for when deciding which one is the right solution for you.
