PR 5223A Programmable f/I-f/f Converter

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.
