Analog Signal Conditioner

[celichi]

Hello Everyone, Happy Thursday!

I have a system, and 99% of my analog signals are 4-20 ma.

I have 4 analog outputs that are 0 - 10V
I have 4 analog inputs that are 0 - 10V

I am looking at different MFG of signal conditioners, and trying to find one that works well and is cost effective, more cost effective than having to add combo cards to my L33ER or going to 4 channel V/I cards.

What signal conditioners do you use/like, or am I going about this the wrong way?

Kind regards,

Paul

I use Weidmuller stuff because it returns higher profit on markup and I work in mission critical environments, but when cost is a factor I always look at Automation Direct, they make good stuff and its also cost effective. They also deliver to Canada within two days, and have excellent free support. I'm a big fan of Automation Direct. Take a look at this solution:

If that's too expensive then check ebay for something made in China, there is a ton of cheap stuff to be had overseas if you can wait a month for it to get here and decipher the documentation.

Look at the FC-33

On the inputs you could use a 500 Ohm dropping resistor instead of a signal conditioner.
