Potentiometer Input Barriers

Variable Resistance Input

These barriers accept inputs from a wide variety of potentiometers and provide a 4-20mA output signal (Ex-I version) or a 0 - 10V output signal (Ex-U version) for use as a control signal  or simply to display the control setpoint on a control room panel display or locally on a field-mounted digital display.

The resistance value of the potentiometer's wiper contact, ranging from 0 Ohms to the nominal resistance value (final value) of the potentiometer, is detected and processed linearly.

A potentiometer is defined by its nominal value. Any potentiometer with a nominal resistance value between 800 Ohms and 20,000 Ohms may be used. The permissible line resistance may not exceed 50 Ohms at a potentiometer resistance of 800 Ohms.
