The PR 5223A Programmable f/I‑f/f Converter is a high-performance, programmable signal converter for industrial automation and process control applications. Ideal for converting frequency signals into precise analog current or voltage outputs, this versatile device supports both frequency-to-current (f/I) and frequency-to-frequency (f/f) functions. Thus, the 5223A, from PR electronics, is perfect for pulse calculation, frequency scaling, division, multiplication, as well as buffering of fast pulse trains. Featuring universal power supply compatibility with 21.6-253 VAC or 19.2-300 VDC, the PR 5223A ensures flexible installation across a broad range of system configurations. Furthermore, its galvanic isolation (3.75 kVAC) protects sensitive inputs and outputs from electrical noise and interference, enhancing reliability in demanding industrial environments.
- The PR 5223A Programmable f/I-f/f Converter can configure with a standard PC and the Loop Link communications unit, or deliver with fully configuration.
- The f/I function performs frequency to current and voltage conversion.
- The f/f function, for pulse division or multiplication, can also act as a buffer for collecting fast pulse trains.
- Users can enter a scale factor in all functions.
- Using both digital inputs, pulse addition or subtraction are possible.
- The frequency generator function is used as, for example, a time base or clock generator.
- Input and supply polarity reversal protection.
- Current and voltage output signals galvanically separate from the supply and the inputs.
- Programmable digital outputs including NPN, PNP, or relay options.
PR 5223A Programmable f/I-f/f Converter from PR electronics
The PR 5223A Programmable f/I-f/f Converter accommodates a wide variety of input sensors including NAMUR, tacho, NPN, PNP, TTL, S0, and contact signals over a 0-20,000 Hz range, with programmable analog outputs (0-20 mA or 0-10 V) for seamless integration with control systems. With programmable digital outputs (PNP, NPN, or optional relays) and built-in LED indicators for input/output status and error detection, the 5223A enhances diagnostics and operational visibility. Configuration is easy via a standard PC and the PR Loop Link communications interface, or it can ship with preconfiguration for specific applications.
