The module from Tinycontrol allows for easy addition of two analog inputs 4–20 mA to the LAN controller v3, labeled as INPA5 and INPA6. Thanks to compatibility with the LAN controller v3, integration is quick and reliable. Practical connection is ensured by the supplied connecting cable and screw terminals, with the correct polarity needing to be observed according to the manual for optimal module operation.
The converter is ideal for industrial applications where sensors with a 4–20 mA current output are used, such as pressure, level, flow, temperature, or humidity sensors. With this converter, these standard industrial sensors can be easily integrated into systems based on LAN controller devices LK3.
The converter connects directly to the main board of the LK3 / LK3.9 device. For proper operation, it is necessary to observe the marked polarity for connecting the sensors, which is clearly indicated on the converter board (+ and - for each INPA5 and INPA6 input).
The converter is realized as a specialized printed circuit board with terminal blocks for connecting sensors and a connector for connecting to the main device. The board contains the necessary electronic components to convert the current signal into a voltage signal that can be processed by the analog inputs of the LAN controller.
