TCI 1 - TRANSDUCER CONDITIONING INTERFACE

TESTAR, a MARPOSS Division, introduces TCI 1, a single-channel signal conditioning module with analog output for LVDT or HBT transducers. Designed for measuring components suppliers and machine makers, it is used for direct connection of sensors to a PLC to carry out dimensional measurements or part positioning.
Thanks to its robustness, waterproofness (IP54 protection degree) and connection simplicity, it can be easily placed in the machine, while the possibility to connect a wide range of sensors allows to meet any application requirement.

Power supply
TCI 1 module is directly fed by the PLC and can be supplied in the following versions:

• Version with dual filtered and stabilized ±15Vdc ±5% or ±12Vdc ±5% power supply.
• Version with single 24Vdc ±10% power supply.

Power supply connection: 7-pole male Lumberg connector (same as the output signal one).

Output signal
TCI 1 module gives in output an analog signal proportional to the position of the transducer connected which a possible fixed value (offset) can be added to. It can be supplied with voltage output with range ±5 V or ±10 V, and with current output with range 4 to 20 mA.

Output signal connection: 7-pole male Lumberg connector (same as the power supply one).

Usable transducers
TCI 1 module can be supplied already set-up for use with MARPOSS full range of pencil probes or probes made by other OEM's manufacturers (for example Tesa, Solartron).
