UCM LVDT Universal Signal Conditioning Module

The Penny & Giles model UCM is a low voltage dc powered Universal Signal-Conditioning Module designed to operate with a wide range of LVDTs, RVDTs and other analogue inductive transducer types.

  • Designed for use with with any analogue inductive transducer
  • Supply voltage: 10-30 Vdc unregulated
  • Output signal: 0.5 to 4.5 Vdc
  • Optional range of voltage output signals by using VM card
  • Optional 4-20mA output signal by using CM card
  • Optional PWM output signal by using PWM card
  • IP68 metal enclosure
  • User-adjustable gain and zero settings
  • CE approved
  • Rapid despatch

The set-up is simple and flexible, allowing user adjustment of excitation voltage and frequency, operating mode, span output and zero position, as well as configuration for multiple unit synchronisation.

The UCM has a rugged die-cast aluminium-alloy housing that is dust and fluid protected to IP68.

The UCM provides a simple 0.5 to 4.5Vdc analogue output signal. By using additional plug-in module cards, a variety of different voltage ranges, a current output, or a digital PWM output can be obtained. The module operates from an unregulated 10-30 Vdc supply.

The set-up is simple and flexible, allowing user adjustment of excitation voltage and frequency, operating mode, span output and zero position, as well as configuration for multiple unit synchronisation.

The UCM has a rugged die-cast aluminium-alloy housing that is dust and fluid protected to IP68. It is suitable for harsh environmental conditions and electrically noisy installations, with EMC immunity to 100V/m. It is designed to be mounted on a bulkhead close to the transducer, by using M5 screws through the mounting holes that are located under the housing lid. The supply, output and transducer connections are routed through two IP68 rated cable glands that can accommodate cable diameters of between 3 and 8mm. Connections are made to screw terminal blocks on the UCM board.

The UCM provides a simple 0.5 to 4.5Vdc analogue output signal. By using additional plug-in module cards, a variety of different voltage ranges, a current output, or a digital PWM output can be obtained. The module operates from an unregulated 10-30 Vdc supply.
