7B40
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
implement transformer isolation (1500 V rms input-to-output
The 7B40 is a single-channel signal conditioning module that
interfaces, amplifies and filters unipolar and bipolar millivolt
and voltage inputs and provides a protected precision output of
either +1 V to +5 V or 0 V to +10 V. Model 7B40 features a
nonlinearity of +0.02% maximum and an accuracy of +0.1%
maximum (+0.01% typical). To accurately measure low level
signals in electrically noisy environments, 1500 V rms of
galvanic transformer-based isolation with a common mode
rejection (CMR) of 110 dB @50/60 Hz and a normal mode
rejection (NMR) of 100 dB @50/60 Hz are provided. Rated to
operate with a nominal +24 VDC supply, Model 7B40 is mix-
and-match and hot-swappable with other 7B Series input
modules, so it can be inserted or removed from any socket in
the same backplane without disturbing system power.
and power). Isolated front-end circuitry power is supplied by a
DC/DC converter. The output section contains a four-pole low
pass filter (-3 dB @ 10KHz), a buffer amplifier and a power
oscillator. The four-pole output filter and subsequent buffer
ensures that a low noise, low impedance (<1Ω) signal is
available at the output to drive loads of 2 kΩ minimum.
The floating differential input of Model 7B40 is fully protected
up to 240 V rms line voltage. A one-pole 10 KHz filter
preconditions the input signal prior to amplification by a low
drift input amplifier. Amplitude modulation is used to
