KnickState of the ArtComponents from KnickIn the field of industrial galvanicisolation, Knick is the marketleader and pacesetter for technologicalchange. Components fromKnick are designed in a way thatthey not only operate reliablyunder normal conditions but alsoensure safe functioning underextreme operating conditions.The advantages are reflectedin every detail. The selection ofranges, for example, is alwayscalibrated in the Knick isolationamplifiers and transmitters. Thereis no need for complicated recalibration.Knick offers isolationamplifiers for particularly highworking voltages – up to 3600 VAC/DC – as well as devices forapplications where many signalsmust be processed in a smallspace. The 6-mm class includesisolation amplifiers and transmittersthat combine high flexibilityand precise signal transmissionwith safe galvanical isolation –up to 300 V AC/DC accordingto EN 61140.Constructive CompetenceThe conceptual design of newKnick devices focuses on the particularrequirements and demandsof the customers. Use of highqualitycomponents with longservice life is part of the basicdesign principles just as an intelligentcircuit design and the planningof safety margins betweenthe actual load and possiblemaximum load. Reliability is alsoachieved by reducing self-heatingand the resulting thermal loadby a suitable circuit design. Asa result, MTBF values of manyhundred years are obtained.Knick devices always orient themselvesto the customers’ economicobjectives such as minimizingoperational and consequentialcosts and increasing the productivity.A typical Knick module iseasy to configure, virtually maintenance-free,and provides abroad range of applications. Thefact that one module can be usedfor many applications significantlyreduces logistic costs and avoidseffort caused by wrong ordering.Certified QualityNumerous approvals prove thesuitability for extraordinaryrequirements and fields of application.The Knick range includesdevices with SIL, UL, CSA, FM,ATEX, KTA, and GL approvals.The company maintains a qualitymanagement system according toDIN EN ISO 9001 : 2000 and hasa confirmation of suitability ofthe quality assurance accordingto the KTA 1401 rule of theNuclear Safety Standards Commission.One result of the strictimplementation of the variousregulatory requirements is theproverbial long life and reliabilityof Knick isolators that is provedby a 5-year warranty.4

Isolation AmplifiersTransmittersIndicatorsProcess AnalyticsPortable MetersLaboratory MetersSensorsFittingsThe CompanyFor over 50 years, the nameKnick has been a by-word forexceptional quality in the manufactureof electronic measuringdevices. Back in 1945 thecompany’s founder, engineerUlrich Knick, started manufacturinghigh-precision zero-pointstabilizedDC amplifiers, layingthe foundation for the modulesproduct range. These amplifiersalso enabled the production ofreliable and precise pH meters.Today Knick develops and sells abroad range of devices for industrialanalog signal processing.About 50 % of the business volumeis generated with analoginterface products. The otherhalf applies to the field of liquidanalysis, where Knick’s highqualitymeasuring systems havebecome established in industryand laboratory.Innovative by TraditionToday, company policy still focuseson a high technical level anda highly innovative orientation.Every fourth employee worksin Research and Development.A large number of patents andlicensing agreements are theresult. Great emphasis is placedon Functional Safety, EMC, andexplosion protection, where thefirm has made a name for itselfwith its high level of expertise.The strategy of achieving businesssuccess through the provision ofoptimal technical solutions for demandingapplications has provedsuccessful and still promises stabilityand independence alongwith solid economic growth. Thecompany’s economic independencepermits long-term work ofthe Development departmentfocusing on innovation and sustainability– a necessary requirementfor today’s complex productsand systems but still not metby everyone. As a result, Knickcan provide products that reliablysolve the arising tasks and problemsand are a safe and longlastinginvestment.5

The Whole Range ofPerfection– Signals Over LongDistancesIf the measurement signal has along path, for example, to reachthe control room, potential differencescan occur between thepoint of measurement and thecontrol equipment causing considerablemeasurement errors.The electrical isolation completelyeliminates the effects of thesepotential differences thus rectifyingmeasurement errors. Isolationamplifiers and transmitters fromKnick always provide 3-port isolationso that a signal disturbanceis prevented in any case.– Signal AdaptationOne common task is the conversionof almost any measurementsignals to standard signals. TheVariTrans® series from Knickfeatures universal and standardsignalisolators with excellentcharacteristics in this area.– High Voltages in theMeasuring EnvironmentIf the signal being measured is ina high-voltage area (for example,power supplies for productionfacilities, buildings, railway facilities),it needs to be kept awayfrom the control technology,that is, it must be sufficientlyisolated. Standard products of theVariTrans® series have excellentcharacteristics for these applications:They are designed forworking voltages up to 1000 VAC/DC. The products of theP 40000 are even suitable forworking voltages up to 3600 VAC/DC. The routine tests areperformed with 15 kV AC.When measuring low signals athigh potentials, a high commonmode rejection (CMRR) must beensured since otherwise commonmode voltages can cause seriousmeasurement errors. The P 41100achieves a CMRR of 150 dB(DC/AC 50 Hz).– Signal AmplificationIf the power output of the signalsource is not sufficient, activeKnick isolators amplify the signalswithout distorting it due to interferingerrors. The current outputsof Knick products regularly supply10 or 12 V, i.e. 500 or 600 ohmsload at 20 mA. If that is not sufficient,the model A 20300 can beused to increase the maximumload to 1000 ohms (20 V) at20 mA.– Explosive MixturesSuitable hazardous area separationis required to connectmeasurement and control signalsbetween a hazardous area andthe control equipment. For theseapplications, the Knick rangefeatures devices which at thesame time provide galvanic isolationto prevent measurementerrors: 36A7, 37A7, WG 20.Repeater power supplies areavailable for the supply of 2-wiretransmitters in hazardous areas:WG 20/21/25.– Functional Safety(SIL)When developing new products,Knick takes account of their usein safety-related applications,i.e. they are to provide functionalsafety according to EN 61508.The PolyTrans®, ThermoTrans®,and SensoTrans® P 32000 transmittersare certified to SIL 2 bythe TÜV Rheinland, up to SIL 3can be achieved by redundantconfiguration.6

Isolation AmplifiersTransmittersIndicatorsProcess AnalyticsPortable MetersLaboratory MetersSensorsFittingsDiscourseElectrical isolationin industrial measuringtechnologyIntroductionl––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– –––––––In industrial plants, the transmissionof measuring and controlsignals almost always requireselectrical isolation of the signalsbeing processed both for safetyreasons and in order to achieveoptimum signal quality(see Fig. 1).1000 V DCShunt 60 mVMAMeasurements at dangerouslyhigh voltages or in areas wherethere is an explosion hazard,different ground potentials(see Fig. 2) for example, inplant sections located a longway apart, as well as highcommon-mode voltages do notallow direct connection of themeasuring signals with otherdevices or assemblies. In thiscase, it is absolutely essential toelectrically isolate the transmittedsignals.Knick offers suitable componentsfor electrical isolation in variousdesigns to meet these requirements.Our range includes modularhousings, M12 field housingswith IP68 protection, solder-inmodules, and Eurocards.Depending on the model, theappropriate measuring signalsare also amplified or convertedto the standard values 10 V or20 mA.

Electrical Isolation1. Isolators With / Without Power Supplyl––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– –––––––+Currentinput–Principle of Operation:It is obvious that transformersare the ideal components fortransmssion and electrical isolationof alternating quantities.Transformers are reliable, easyto produce and suitable for highworking or isolation voltages.However, they cannot transmitdirect voltage signals. The directvoltage signal is therefore firstconverted into an alternatingvoltage using an electronic chopper.This AC voltage is transmittedto the secondary circuit by aGenerator1:1transformer, where it is rectifiedin sync with the chopper frequency(see Fig. 3). The resultingDC voltage is then converted oramplified if necessary.+Currentoutput–Another principle of signal processingis used in the modern,switchable isolation amplifiersfrom the VariTrans® series.The input signal is converted intoa rectangular signal with a constantfrequency. The duty cycleof the rectangular voltage ischanged depending on the inputvoltages (pulse width modulation,PWM). The pulse widthmodulated rectangular signal istransmitted to the output sideelectrically isolated by means ofa tranformer. There it is reconvertedinto a voltage or currentusing a low-pass filter(see Fig. 4).■ Fig. 3: Schematic diagram of an isolator with transformer isolationPWM converter Transformer RC filterInputRC OutputDirect voltage Alternating voltage (PWM signal) Direct voltageVariable pulse widthThe transmission ratio of the isolationamplifier or transmitter iscontrolled by a microcontroller.The settings are made using DIPand rotary coding switches. Sincethese switches are not incorporatedin the negative feedbackof amplifier circuits, but insteadonly switch digital signals, theydo not carry currents and cannotcause any contact resistancefaults.■ Fig. 4: PWM principle: Pulse width modulationT11

The loadcapability of the input signal isreduced by the voltage requirementof the passive isolator.1.1 Isolation Amplifiers withExternal Power Supply(Active Isolators)Isolation amplifiers are thebest known type of devices forgalvanic isolation of measuringsignals. Often they are not onlyused as electrical isolators butalso as transmitters for signalconversion of voltages or currentsinto standardized 20 mA or10 V signals. When measurementsignals are transmitted 1:1, theyare also used to increase the signalload capacity. The loading ofthe input signal by the isolationamplifier is generally negligible.Isolation amplifiers generallyrequire an external power supply.Typical examples are the switchableVariTrans® P 27000 andP 15000 isolation amplifiers.Isolation Amplifiers forUnipolar Signal ProcessingIsolation amplifiers that are onlysuitable for transmitting unipolarmeasuring signals can be usedfor many applications, for example,for processing standard0/4 ... 20 mA and 0 ... 10 Vsignals. For the exact transmissioneven in the vicinity of zero, however,the control range of theKnick unipolar isolation amplifiersextends a few percent into thenegative range (see Fig. 5).Isolation Amplifiers forBipolar Signal ProcessingBipolar measurement signalsfrequently need to be processedwhen, for example, motor currentsare to be measured in bothdirections of rotation. Bipolar signalsare also processed when distancesare measured or for betterresolution of measurement signals.Knick also supplies differenttypes of bipolar isolation amplifiers,for example, the VariTrans®A 26000 for bipolar standardsignals (see Fig. 6).Passive isolators are suitablefor 1:1 transmission of unipolarcurrent signals. The suitabilityfor the respective applicationshould be checked taking theload capability of the inputsignal and output load intoconsideration.Example:A transmitter with 0 ... 20 mAsignal at the input of a looppoweredisolator can beloaded with maximally 10 V(IIN = 0...20 mA, VINmax = 10 V).The voltage drop VDROP of theloop-powered isolator is specifiedas 2.5 V. After VIN = VDROP + (IOUT· RL) the maximum output load isRLmax = (VINmax – VDROP) / 20 mA =375 ohms (see Fig. 7).12

As a result, a current cannotflow in the input circuit whenthe output is open (endlessresistance) (see Fig. 8).If temporary interruption of theoutput circuit could not be ruledout, a possible remedy was toconnect a suitable Zener diode inparallel with the isolator output.When the output circuit is open,the input current then flows viathe Zener diode in the output(see Fig. 9). In practice, thismethod often turned out to becomplicated and too error-prone.I O = 0Output open■ Fig. 9: Transmission of a measured signal over large distancesV = I O · R loadV max = < V ZInput voltage dropV I [V]54321,71Open output V I= 3 VWith Bürdenstop ® Without Bürdenstop ®0 0.5 1 1.3 1.5 20 25.0 50.0 65.0 75.0 100.0■ Fig. 10: Transfer function with Bürdenstop ®Knick’s Bürdenstop® (load stop)function solves that problem andthus considerably extends theapplication possibilities for looppoweredisolators. Here, thecurrent supplied at the primaryside is maintained independentlyfrom the output load. Any excessiveload increase at the output,such as caused by line breakageor inconstant loads includingcomplex impedances, can becompensated for. The IsoTrans®M12-A200 and IsoTrans® A20400 passive isolators are availablewith or without Bürdenstop®function. When the output load(e.g. input resistance of the controller)is up to 60 Ø, a passiveisolator with Bürdenstop® is thebest solution (see Fig. 10).The operating current requiredfor the Knick passive isolators isvery low. It is approx. 2 µA to100 µA depending on the modelwithout appearing as an additionaltransmission error. Passive isolatorsturn out to be particularlyadvantageous due to the simpleinstallation without additionalsupply lines.

Transmittersl––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– –––––––Transmitters measure the signalsof sensors for physical quantitiessuch as temperature, path, angle,pressure, or force. They performa galvanic isolation and convertthe signals into standardized analogoutput signals: 0 ... 20 mA,4 ... 20 mA, or 0 ...10 V. Thesestandard signals can be transmittedto indicators, recorders and/or standardized controllers suchas DCS and can be used forcontrol applications.RTD 2-wireconnection1234RTD 3-wireconnection1234RTD 4-wireconnection■ Fig. 11: Connection of resistance thermometers1234RTD differentialmeasurement12342.1 Temperature Measurementwith Resistance Thermometersand ThermocouplesIn many fields of industrytemperature is an importantcontrolled variable. Here, themost important sensors areresistance thermometers andthermocouples.Resistance thermometersare highly accurate temperaturesensors with long-term stability.They measure temperatures byusing the temperature dependenceof the electric resistor.Resistance thermometers aremainly used to measure lowand medium temperatures, forexample, in air-conditioning,process engineering, and thefood industry.The most common resistancethermometers are Pt100, Pt1000,and Ni100. The first part of thedesignation represents the resistormaterial, the second partspecifies the resistance in ohmsT 1T 2■ Fig. 12: Thermocouple and reference junctionat 0 °C. Thus, for example,Pt100 designates a resistancethermometer made of platinumand having a resistance of100 ohms at 0 °C.The ThermoTrans® 205/206,A 20210, and P 32100 as wellas the PolyTrans® P 32000 transmittersallow connection of allcommon resistance thermometerseither with 2-, 3-, or4-wire connection (see Fig. 11).V TReference junctionThermocouplesThermocouples make use of theeffect named after T. J. Seebeckthat a junction of two dissimilarmetals produces an electricvoltage which is influenced bythe difference between the temperatureat the reference junctionand the temperature of the pointof measurement (see Fig. 12).When the thermoelectric voltageVT is measured using a suitabletransmitter and when the temperatureat the reference junctionis known, the temperature at thepoint of measurement can be14

Electrical IsolationIsolation AmplifiersTransmittersIndicatorsProcess AnalyticsPortable MetersLaboratory MetersSensorsFittingsdetermined from the characteristicof the thermocouple used. Thiscalculation is usually performedin the temperature transmitter.The temperature at the referencejunction can be measured oradjusted by thermostating.In practice, a measurement iseither taken “internally“, thenthe reference junction is withinthe temperature transmitter,or “externally“, then referencejunction and temperature sensorof the junction, e. g. a Pt100,are outside the transmitter.The voltage caused by thethermoelectric effect is very low –just a few microvolts per Kelvin.To obtain an interference-proofmeasurement signal, thermocouplesare preferrably used forhigh temperatures, for example,for measurements in ovens, smeltingplants, and plastic machines.A great number of metal pairswas tested for the production ofpractical thermocouples. Subsequentstandardization resulted ina manageable range of standardizedthermocouples with definedmaterial pairs. They cover themajority of all industrial temperaturemeasurement applications.The characteristics including permissibletolerances of thermocouplesare defined internationally inthe IEC 584-1 standard and inDIN 43710 which is not valid anymore and is to be applied onlyto old plants.IEC 584-1, EN 60584-1Type J Iron/Constantan(Fe/CuNi)Type T Copper/Constantan(Cu/CuNi)Type K Nickel Chromium/Nickel(NiCr/Ni)Type E Nickel Chromium/Constantan (NiCr/CuNi)Type N Nicrosil/Nisil (NiCrSi/NiSi)Type S Platinum Rhodium/Platinum (Pt10Rh/Pt)Type R Platinum Rhodium/Platinum (Pt13Rh/Pt)Type B Platinum Rhodium/Platinum (Pt30Rh/Pt6Rh)DIN 43710 (not valid anymore)Type L Iron/Constantan(Fe/CuNi)Type U (Cu/CuNi)High-temperature thermocouplessuch as W3Re/W25Re (tungsten3% rhenium/tungsten 25% rhenium)or W5Re/W26Re (tungsten5% rhenium/tungsten 26%rhenium) have not yet foundtheir way into a standard.

DiscourseStrain gage full bridgeInternal supplyStrain gage full bridgeExternal supply112.2 Force Measurementswith Strain GagesForce, weight, torque, mechanicaltension, and the resulting parameterscan be measured by usingstrain gages. These make use ofthe effect that a change in lengthof a conductor due to strainresults in a proportional changein its electric resistance. In astrain gage transmitter thisresistance change is detected asa measure for the strain, force,etc. and then is converted to astandard signal for display andfurther processing.In practical industry applicationsthe filling weight of a container,for example, is measured by loadcells (force sensors, force transducers)which usually have integratedstrain gage full bridges.The bridge sensitivity is specifiedas signal level at the bridge outputin millivolts related to theexcitation voltage in volts, i.e. forexample 2 mV/V. When the sensitivityis known, e.g. from the calibrationcertificate of the sensormanufacturer, it is adjusted atthe transmitter. If only the nominalsensitivity is known, the actualsensitivity can be determinedby calibration with a definedmechanical load. Correspondingly,the zero point can be adjustedat the transmitter by using a tarefunction.The strain gage bridge can beconnected in 4-wire configuration(see Fig. 13). If the errorcaused by the current-carryingexcitation lines is to be reduced,a 6-wire configuration is used.■ Fig. 13: Supply of strain gagesHere, the bridge excitation voltageis measured through separatelines, virtually currentlessand therefore fault-free.In practice, also sensors that areequipped with 6 lines are operatedat 4-wire transmitters by combining2 excitation lines each.Alternatively, an external supplymay be used to take advantageof the 6-wire connection (seeFig. 13).The Knick SensoTrans® DMSA 20220 and P 32200 as well asthe PolyTrans® P 32000 transmittershave been designed for customarystrain gage sensors in afull-bridge arrangement. Sensitivityand zero point of calibratedsensors can be adjusted on thedevice by using rotary switchesor the Paraly® SW 111 parametersetting software. A tare functionto set the zero point can beactivated by a pushbutton onthe device or the software.Correspondingly, the sensorsensitivity can be calibrated ata defined load “at the push ofa button“.2342.3 Path and Angle Measurementswith PotentiometersAmong others, potentiometricsensors are used to detect linearor rotary movements. Potentiometricpath or angle sensors containresistance elements madeof conductive plastic material orwire-wound resistance elementswith movable sliding contacts.Potentiometer transmitters determinethe resistance ratio producedby the sliding contact sothat its position can be detectedand output as standard signal.Resistance transducers are usedfor setpoint specification in railvehicles, on ships, during industrialproduction, and in manyareas of machine and apparatusengineering. Resistive sensorsare used for detecting the actualvalue of actuators, for measuringdistances or thickness, and forvarious position measurementtasks. The Knick SensoTrans® RA 20230 and P 32300 as well asPolyTrans® P 32000 transmittersdetect potentiometers up to50 kohms in 3- or 4-wire configuration.The range of themovement to be mapped onthe range of the output signalcan easily be adjusted by usinga button on the device or theParaly® SW 111 software.23416

Transmission Propertiesl––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– –––––––The properties required for signaltransmission are determined bydifferent factors. In addition tothe requirements regarding accuracyand speed of the signaltransmission, the input data ofthe following devices, the propertiesof the signal being transmittedand the ambient conditionsalso need to be taken intoaccount.0 ... 20 mA5 kmline length(e.g. 1 mm 2 )R lineApprox. 90 ØApprox. 90 ØR line■ Fig. 14: Transmission of a measured signal over largedistances3.1 Current or VoltageTransmissionThe initial criteria for selectingan isolation amplifier or a transmitterare the input signal to beprocessed and the output signalrequired. The output signal isgenerally determined by thefollowing devices such as controllers,indicators, DCS, PCS etc.,whereby many of these deviceshave either current or voltageinputs.If both possibilities are available,current signals should be preferredparticularly for longertransmission paths (see Fig. 14).Impressed current signals areconsiderably less sensitive tointerference than voltagesignals.3.2 Input ResistanceThe input resistances of modernisolation amplifiers are generallydimensioned in a way that theyare sufficiently high for voltageinputs and sufficiently low forcurrent inputs so that the signalbeing processed is practically notloaded. Only in a few cases (verylow voltage signals with a highsource resistance or low-loadcapability current signals) wouldthe input resistance be a selectioncriterion for isolation amplifiers.The input resistance of theVariTrans® P 41000 isolationamplifiers specially developed forshunt applications is, at approx.100 kØ, relatively low comparedwith other isolation amplifiers.However, for shunt applicationswith resistances in the mØ range,the resistance is still several timesto the power of ten higher thanrequired.17

Discourse3.2.1 Input Voltage DropIn various isolation amplifierswith a current input and in looppoweredisolators, the load onthe input signal is specified as avoltage drop and not as an inputresistance. This voltage drop isconstant during normal operationand is max. 500 mV inisolation amplifiers dependingon the model.In passive isolators, there is avoltage drop at the input resultingfrom the voltage requirementof the device plus the load voltageat the output. Before passiveisolators are used, the load capabilityof the measurement signaland the load connected to theisolator output should be known.An exception are the passiveisolators from Knick with Bürdenstop®(load stop) function: Thecurrent supplied at the primaryside is maintained independentof the output load.3.3 Output Load CapabilityThe load capability of voltageoutputs is generally indicated bythe maximum current. Almostall manufacturers specify a resistancevalue for the load capabilityat current outputs. This specificationdoes not indicate the loadcapability of the output currentsof Knick isolation amplifiersabsolutely correctly. Thereforethe output load capability is“traditionally“ given as a voltagevalue.A 20 mA current output with aload capability of 10 V can beloaded, for example, with 2 kØat 5 mA or 1 kØ at 10 mA. Thespecification of a maximum permissibleload voltage of 10 Vtherefore applies to every currentvalue, whereas 500 Ø wouldapply exclusively to 20 mA.3.4 Transmission AccuracyMany Knick isolation amplifiersstand out by extraordinarily lowtransmission errors so that theaccuracy requirements of virtuallyall industrial measurement tasksare exceeded. The long-termstability of Knick signal isolatorsensures maximum transmissionaccuracy even past the 5-yearwarranty granted for Knick isolationamplifiers and transmitters.3.4.1 Quality of MeasurementSignalsBest possible transmission of theinput signal is required not onlyfor applications in measurementengineering. Signal distortionsdue to change in polarity, overshootsin the case of signalchanges, extreme angles insquarewave transmission are therule in many isolation amplifiersavailable on the market. Theseundesirable properties are notimmediately visible to the user.They often do not becomenoticeable until inexplicableerrors occur during operation.In the cyclical, digital scanningof measured values, signaldistortions, for example, due toovershooting, can cause seriousmeasurement errors. For thisreason, Knick traditionally placesgreat emphasis on the accuratetransmission of signals in thedevelopment of its isolationamplifiers.18

Electrical IsolationIsolation AmplifiersTransmittersIndicatorsProcess AnalyticsPortable MetersLaboratory MetersSensorsFittings■ Fig. 15: Offset voltage■ Fig. 16: Offset current3.4.2 Residual RippleThe output signal of isolationamplifiers and transmitters isprincipally superimposed bylow interference voltages. Theseinterference voltages are caused,for example, by the chopper frequencyas well as by mains feedover.The amplitude of this interferencevoltage, referred to asresidual ripple, should be as lowas possible because otherwisemeasurement errors cannot beruled out – especially with lowmodulation.3.5 Temperature Coefficient(Gain Droop)The temperature coefficient orgain droop is a specification forchanges in gain caused by–+–+I offsetV offsetR NFR NFtemperature changes. Droop ratesare specified as a relative parameterin %/K or as an absolutevalue in nA/K or µA/K, for example.In absolute value specifications,you need to check whetherthe TC refers to the input or theoutput.Examples:– The temperature coefficientat the output of an isolationamplifier is max. 10 nA/K. Achange in temperature of 20 Kcauses a change in the outputcurrent of 20 · 10 nA = 200 nA.– The TC of a transmitter is0.0025 %/K. A temperaturechange of 20 K causes a gainchange of 20 · 0.0025 % =0.05 %.3.6 Offset Voltage,Offset CurrentIn real amplifiers,the output variable isnot exactly zero evenwhen the input signalis zero. The inputoffset voltage of anamplifier is by definitionthe voltage thatneeds to be appliedto the input in orderfor the output variableto become zero.It therefore acts as aninput voltage or anadditional voltageacting in series withthe input signal (see Fig. 15).The input offset current of anamplifier also acts as an additionalinput signal (see Fig. 16). Inamplifiers with a voltage input,the offset current causes a voltagedrop at the internal resistorof a signal voltage source that isadded to the input signal.The offset voltage and offset currentare so low in Knick isolationamplifiers that they are negligiblefor normal applications. Offsetinfluences should only be consideredfor very special applicationssuch as the 1:1 transmission ofvery small measurement signalsor the transmission or amplificationof very high-resistancesignals. The polarity of offsetparameters depends on thedevice and therefore is givenas an absolute value withoutplus or minus sign.19

Discourse3.7 Cutoff FrequencyIsolation amplifiers and transmittersare principally designed forthe transmission or amplificationof direct voltage signals. Inorder to be able to transmit fastchanges in the measured valuealmost without delay, Knickdevices can also transmit alternatingquantities to a certainextent. The upper cutoff frequencyis up to approx. 12 kHz forsinusoidal signals dependingon the model.As an upper limit frequency, asis common in electronics andtelecommunications, the frequencyis defined at whichthe gain is attenuated by 3 dBcompared to the DC gain, i.e.it corresponds to approx. 71 %DC gain (see Fig. 17).0 Hz (DC)f CO3 dBf■ Fig. 17: Frequency response of an isolation amplifierInput = 0 VOutput ≠ 0 VV CM■ Fig. 18: Common-mode modulation3.8 Common-Mode BehaviorIf the same voltage Vcm is appliedto ground at both inputs of asymmetrical amplifier, the inputvoltage remains Vin = 0. Thisoperating mode is called common-modemodulation. In anideally symmetrical amplifier, theoutput voltage Vout would alsoremain at 0. However, this is notthe case in real amplifiers, i. e.a voltage deviating from 0 willappear at the output (see Fig. 18).A common-mode modulationalways exists when the signalvoltage is not at ground potential,i.e. when there is a potentialdifference between the (two)input lines and the ground, forexample, when measuring voltagesacross a shunt lying at ahigh potential against ground.Common-mode voltages canalso occur as common-modeinterferences, for example,during switching processes,due to stray pickup in the signallines or due to compensatingcurrents.The ratio between an appliedcommon-mode voltage and theresulting output voltage is knownas common-mode gain. However,in practice, the deviation fromthe ideal common-mode behaviorof an amplifier, specified as common-moderejection, is of greaterinterest. The common-moderejection ratio CMRR is definedas the ratio of differential-modeto common-mode gain or as thelogarithmic ratio of an appliedcommon-mode voltage Vcm toa signal voltage Vd that wouldproduce the same output signal:CMRR = 20 · log (Vcm/Vd) [dB].20

Discourse5. Electrical Safetyl––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– –––––––5.1 Working VoltageAn important parameter whenselecting a suitable isolationamplifier or transmitter is thepermitted working voltage.It indicates the permitted potentialdifference between the differentcircuits (input, output, andsupply circuits) (see Fig. 21).ShuntM1000 V DC1000 A /60 mVWorking voltage1000 VAThe permitted working voltageof an isolation amplifier maydiffer between the differentcircuits. The highest of the specifiedworking voltages generallyapplies across the input andoutput and across the inputand power supply. The permittedworking voltage across the outputand power supply can belower. The permitted workingvoltages for Knick isolationamplifiers are up to approx.3600 V AC/DC depending onthe model.■ Fig. 21: Illustration of the purpose of working voltageThe requirements for the workingvoltages are defined in EN 61010Part 1. It should be noted thatthe permissible working voltageis not only determined by thedielectric strength of the solidinsulations used for the isolatingcomponents, but also by constructionalfeatures such as clearanceand creepage distances aswell as by external influences,particularly the pollution degree(environment-related, possiblecontamination) and the overvoltagecategory (value of superimposedpulse voltages).Pollution DegreesPollution Degree 1There is no or only dry, nonconductivecontamination, forexample, in air-conditioned orclean, dry rooms.Pollution Degree 2There is only non-conductivecontamination. Occasional, temporaryconductivity due to condensationcan be expected, forexample, in laboratories, precisionmechanics workshops, testdepartments, and salesrooms.Pollution Degree 3There is conductive contaminationor dry, non-conductivecontamination that becomesconductive due to expectedcondensation, for example, inrooms at industrial plants, agriculturalplants, unheated warehouserooms, and boiler rooms.Pollution Degree 4The contamination leads topermanent conductivity, forexample, due to conductivedust, rain, or snow; in openrooms or outdoors.24

This ensures that thespecified limit values for theworking voltage apply to eachdevice.The test voltage is also used occasionallyas a parameter for thedielectric strength instead of theworking voltage. This then needsto be a certain factor higher thanthe maximum possible potentialdifference between the circuits tobe isolated according to the directivefor the specific application.The test voltage for Knick isolationamplifiers is up to 15 kV AC.5.3 Safe IsolationThe term “Safe Isolation“ isdefined in EN 61140. This basicsafety standard describes protectivemeasures against electricshocks and thus defines therequirements to be met by electricalisolation between electriccircuits. “Safe Isolation“ refers toan isolation system which is characterizedby basic protection andadditional precautions (additionalinsulation or protective shielding)or by equivalent insulation (reinforcedinsulation according toEN 61010-1). It has the aim toprotect persons against electricshock. This particularly high levelof safety must be ensured byconstructive measures such asappropriate clearance and creepagedistances as well as by theinsulation properties of the internalisolating components. Thatmeans that the requirements ofthe basic safety standard have adirect effect on the isolatordesign.25

DiscourseHazardousAreaTransmitter0 ... 20 mASafe AreaInputOutputIsoTrans ® 36 A7150 ... 20 mA26 R LThe specification “Safe Isolation“always includes the indication ofa working voltage up to whichthe “Safe Isolation“ is guaranteed.All new isolation amplifiersand transmitters developed byKnick meet the requirements ofEN 61140 regarding “SafeIsolation“.5.4 ApprovalsOn an international basis,often the US and Canadian ULapprovals (Underwriter Laboratories)and CSA (CanadianStandards Association) or theircombination CUL are demanded.Many Knick isolation amplifiershave proven in strict approvaltests that they fulfil the respectiverequirements for electricalsafety and fire protection.The GL approval (GermanischerLloyd) confirms the high loadcapability of many Knick isolationamplifiers. It permits the use onships and for offshore applications,for example.The “Kerntechnische Ausschuß“(KTA – Nuclear Safety StandardsCommission) in the GermanFederal Office for RadiationProtection issues nuclear safetystandards that are identifiedby the letters KTA. Knick offersisolation amplifiers with KTA3503 (3507) approval forapplication in nuclear powerstations.Power supply■ Fig. 22: Coupling of intrinsically safe and non-intrinsically safe circuitswith the IsoTrans ® 36 A7 passive isolator5.5 Hazardous AreaSeparationWhen electrical equipment(including electrical and electronicmeasuring devices) is usedin potentially explosive atmospheres,it must be sure that thesedevices cannot ignite any explosivegas-air mixtures even whenthey malfunction. The possibletypes of protection include the“intrinsic safety“ that ensuresthat the intrinsically safe circuitsin the respective device cannotgenerate ignitable sparks evenin the event of a malfunction.In practice, an isolated solutionwith intrinsically safe circuits ishardly ever possible, i. e. couplingwith non-intrinsically safe circuitsis necessary for signal processing.The direct link would cancel outthe intrinsic safety and is thereforenot permitted. Knick suppliessuitable isolation amplifierswith or without separate powersupply for coupling the correspondingcircuits and providingboth electrical isolation andhazardous area separationbetween intrinsically safe andnon-intrinsically safe circuits(see Fig. 22).The devices supplied by Knickwith “intrinsic safety“ type ofprotection comply with the94/9/EC directive. This directiveis generally referred to as ATEX.In Europe equipment for explosionprotected areas usually isunderstood as equipment of Category1 or 2, that is for Zone 0 or1. Equipment of Category 3 – forapplication in Zone 2 – is becomingincreasingly important. Zone2 is a place in which an explosiveatmosphere consisting of a mixtureof air with dangerous substancesin the form of gas, vapor,or mist is not likely to occur inthe normal operation and if itdoes occur, will persist for a shortperiod only. Normal operationmeans the situation when installationsand devices are usedwithin their design parameters.Such installations and devicesensure the required safety level.Zone 2 may include, amongothers:– Areas surrounding Zones 0 or 1– Areas around flange connectionswith ordinary flat gasketsin pipes in enclosed spaces.The Series P32x00 and A202x0transmitters are intended foroperation in ATEX Zone 2(EN 60079-15) or Class 1, Div 2 /Zone 2 (UL 1604).26

Functional Safetyl––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– –––––––6.1 Functional Safety(SIL)6.1.1 Functional SafetyThe breakdown and malfunctionof process plants and machinescan lead to personal, environmental,and material risks. Theeffects of damage and the probabilitiesof occurrence determinethe measures required for minimizingrisk through fault prevention,fault detection, and faultcontrol. The international safetystandard IEC/EN 61508 definesthe requirements for safetyrelatedsystems in a plant. Thesafety-related systems examinedin this standard are based onelectrical, electronic, and programmableelectronic technology.The term “functional safety“describes the part of overallplant safety which depends onthe correct functioning of thesafety-related systems.6.1.2 Safety Integrity Level(SIL)The IEC/EN 61508 uses a riskbasedapproach to determinethe safety integrity requirements.Each safety function is assigned asafety integrity level which specifiesthe risk reduction requiredfor each determined hazardousevent. The remaining residual riskis determined by calculating theprobability of failure of all componentsinvolved in the safetycircuit and their interconnection.There are 4 different safety levels:from SIL 1 for a low risk to SIL 4for a very high risk. Two SIL categoriesare distinguished accordingto the respective application:– For safety functions which areactivated when required (ondemand), the probability offailure to perform the functionon demand is specified(Low Demand Mode).– For safety functions whichare continuously active, theprobability of a hazardousfailure is specified for a givenperiod of time (per hour)(High Demand Mode).6.1.3 Device CertificationThe IEC/EN 61508 covers safetyrelatedsystems over the entiresafety lifecycle, i. e. from conceptionto shutdown or deinstallation.In the product development,particular importance isplaced on verification. In a seriesof analyses and tests it must beproved that a device complieswith the safety integrity requirementfor a certain safety chain.The results form the basis forcertification by an independentbody. The PolyTrans® P 32000,ThermoTrans® P 32100,SensoTrans® DMS P 32200,and SensoTrans® P 32300 transmittersare certified to SIL 2 bythe TÜV Rheinland. With redundantconfiguration they canachieve SIL 3.27

Discourse6.2 Surge WithstandIn industrial plants, transientovervoltages with rise speeds ofseveral 1000 V/µs occur in particulardue to switching processes.This kind of overvoltage can leadto damage or destruction ofsensitive electronic components.Newly developed Knick isolationamplifiers are surge proof accordingto IEC 255-4. Both the individualcircuits (input, output, supply)and the isolation betweenthe circuits are protected againstbeing destroyed by temporaryovervoltages. The test is madewith positive and negative pulsesof 5 kV with 1.2 or 50 µs pulseduration.6.3 ElectromagneticCompatibility (EMC)The term “electromagnetic compatibility“refers to the ability ofelectrical and electronic equipmentto function satisfactorily inits electromagnetic environmentwithout introducing intolerableelectromagnetic disturbances toother equipment in that environment.The increasing use of allkinds of devices that couldemit interference, the constantlyincreasing use of modern microelectronicsin all fields of industryand the interaction of powerelectronics and microelectronicscalls for measures protectingagainst mutual influence.Electromagnetic interferencecan cause malfunctions and evencomplete failure of unprotectedelectronic devices. The constantlylower energy requirement ofmicroelectronics componentsand simultaneously increasingprocessing speeds lead toincreased sensitivity to electromagneticinterference.Within the European Union thelimit values to be observed withregard to EMC, in addition toother requirements to be met,are regulated by harmonizedstandards and laws. The Low-Voltage Directive and the EMCstandards are relevant for isolationamplifiers. The CE certificationof Knick products confirmsconformity with the respectivedirectives.28

Electrical IsolationIsolation AmplifiersTransmittersIndicatorsProcess AnalyticsPortable MetersLaboratory MetersSensorsFittings6.4 Protection againstMechanical LoadsMechanical loads, for example,caused by shaking or vibrations,are often inevitable in industrialplants, in vehicles, on ships etc.However, the operating safety ofelectrical and electronic componentsalso needs to be ensuredin these environments.The VariTrans® P 27000,A 26000, P 15000, B 13000,and A 20400 were thereforetested according to the rules ofGermanischer Lloyd and havebeen granted the GL approvalfor environmental category D:applications with increased heatdevelopment and at increasedvibration levels, for example,devices for mounting on combustionengines or compressors.6.5 IP 68 ProtectionWith the M12 field housings,Knick has now presented a newseries that considerably simplifiesdecentralization in the field ofanalog signal transmission. TheDuraTrans® M12 and IsoTrans®M12 devices are protected toIP68 and are installed withoutan enclosure or additional protectivecase directly on themachine. Even harsh ambientconditions are no problem.The housing material PBT(polybutylene terephthalate) isextremely resistant to minerallubricants and alcohols andcomplies with flame class V-0according to UL 94.Vacuum encapsulation reliablyprotects the electronics againstenvironmental influences. Forconnection, the tried and testedM12 circular connectors areused.6.6 ReliabilityKnick gives a 5-year warrantyon electrical isolation modules.Due to their recognized qualityand reliability, they are widespreadin industrial measuringand control engineering acrossthe world.The Knick quality managementhas been certified accordingto ISO 9001 for all areas ofthe company and has also contributedto Knick being certifiedaccording to KTA 1401 as a recognizedsupplier of isolationamplifiers for use in nuclearpower stations since 1994. Othercorresponding certifications havealso been awarded for productsused in the safety-related areasof nuclear power stations.Intelligent circuits with minimaluse of components allow reliabilityvalues that were previouslyconsidered to be impossible –for example, the MTBF (MeanTime Between Failures) of thenew VariTrans® B 10000 standard-signalisolator is 440 years.The quality of all Knick productsis ensured by computer-supportedindividual testing. For theelectrical isolation modules, thismeans that each individual deviceis checked again for perfect functioningand compliance with alldata after the functional test,adjustment, encapsulation wherenecessary, and high-voltage test.Only then is the device approvedfor delivery.29

Space Requirementl––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– –––––––When selecting a device, thehousing width is an importantcriterion since the available spaceis often limited. With the 6-mmclass introduced by Knick, theminimum housing width hasbeen achieved. Knick initiatedthis technological change in2001 by introducing theVariTrans® B 10000 standardsignalisolators.The Knick isolation amplifiersin wider modular housings meethigher demands, for exampleconcerning isolation or mechanicalproperties.In this catalog the devices ofthe 6-mm class are identifiedby a corresponding logo.In the meantime Knick has complementedthe product line ofthe 6-mm class with devicesproviding safe isolation, signaldoublers or standard-signal isolatorswith high output load,passive standard-signal isolators,repeater power supplies withsignal conversion as well asuniversal transmitters and temperaturetransmitters.Particular attention has beenpaid to energy efficiency. Powerloss and the resulting self-heatingare strongly reduced resultingin very high reliability and longservice life.In spite of the reduced space,the 6-mm class provides true3-port isolation between input,output, and power supply to preventparasitic voltages. Safe Isolationaccording to EN 61140 forworking voltages up to 300 VAC/DC guarantees best possibleprotection of personnel andequipment. The test voltageis up to 2.5 kV AC. The 6-mmproducts are UL and CSAapproved for application inNorth America.30

Modular HousingsVariTrans ® B 13000The reasonably pricedalternative for standardindustrial applications.Standard-signal isolatorswith calibrated rangeselection.The TaskGuaranteeing reliable and safesystem operation requires galvanicisolation between sensors andcontroller (e.g. PCS, DCS etc.).The ProblemsIn particular with large-scalesystems, the difficulties oftenlie in the financial pressure inaddition to the lack of spacefor mounting the isolators. Upto now, low-cost single-rangeisolators have, however, causedrelatively high purchase, logistics,and storage costs, for example,also for stocking of spare parts.The HousingThe modular housing, just12.5 mm in width, can alsowithstand high mechanical loads.The housing is easy to openproviding access to the settingelements.The AdvantagesThe analog transmission of themeasurement signal with transformerisolation and the newdigitally controlled range selectionguarantee troublefree use in allstandard industrial applications.The TechnologyA microcontroller monitors thecontrol element settings and controlsthe calibrated range selection.Interference to the signaltransmission – for example, dueto contact resistance in the rangeswitch – is thus ruled out.The integrated power supply isconfigured for 230 V AC or 24 VAC/DC. The extremely low powerconsumption and the relatedminimal self-heating significantlyincrease reliability.The consequence: a 5-yearwarranty.The SolutionThe calibrated switching of theinput and output ranges allowsthe VariTrans® B 13000 basiclow-cost standard-signal isolatorsto be used universally – withoutcomplicated readjustment.The settings are made simplyusing DIP switches.Warranty5 years!Defects occurring within 5 yearsfrom delivery are remedied free ofcharge at our works (carriage andinsurance paid by sender).54

Modular HousingsVariTrans ® A 20000The world’s first 3-portstandard signal isolator ina 6 mm modular housingwith Safe Isolation toEN 61140.The TaskIsolation and conversion of0 ... 20 mA, 4 ... 20 mA as wellas 0 ... 10 V standard signals withhigh demands to measurementaccuracy. At the same time,best possible protection ofpersonnel and equipmentmust be guaranteed.The ProblemThe standards governing theerection of installations demandSafe Isolation according toEN 61140. The tightly dimensionedinstallation space on themounting rail must be optimallyused. Procurement logistics andstockkeeping call for a universalproduct which covers all commonsignal combinations.The SolutionIn spite of the just 6 mm narrowmodular housing, the newVariTrans® A 20000 meets therequirements of EN 61140regarding Safe Isolation up toan operating voltage of 300 V.Test voltage is 2.5 kV AC.Very small leakage capacitancesalso ensure that high transientcommon-mode interferences canbe reliably isolated and do notlead to system malfunctions.Standardization and flexible signalconversion are optimally implementedby the calibrated rangeselection – on-site calibrationbecomes superfluous.The HousingThe 6-mm-wide modular housingallows high component densityin the enclosure. Connection ofpower supply is facilitated by asimple-to-install cross-connectioncomb which can be cut to lengthas required.The Advantages3-port isolation allows universalusability. The input and outputcircuits can be applied to anypotentials, taking account of thepermitted working voltages. Thedistinction between input andoutput isolation amplifier is notrequired with the VariTrans®A 20000 because all three electriccircuits are galvanically isolatedfrom each other.The TechnologyKnick achieves a significantincrease in reliability and servicelife through the development ofisolation amplifiers with extremelylow power consumption and lowself-heating. This leads to a significantincrease in the reliability andservice life of the electronic components– for example, the MTBF(Mean Time Between Failures)of the new VariTrans® A 20000isolation amplifier is 440 years.As the design of the electricalisolation also takes the requirementsof EN 61131-2 intoaccount, the isolator is idealfor DCS applications.Isolation amplifiers are mainlyused for d.c. current signals, butthe correct transmission of fastsignal changes cannot be dispensedwith. Excellent large-signalcharacteristics guarantee a correctrun into the overrange limit. Deadtimes, hysteresis, signal reversal,or latch-up effects are prevented –an indispensable feature forfurther processing in the DCS.Warranty5 years!Defects occurring within 5 yearsfrom delivery are remedied free ofcharge at our works (carriage andinsurance paid by sender).62

Modular HousingsVariTrans ® A 20300Signal doublers with twoswitchable calibrated outputsin a 6 mm housing,also for applications withhigh-level output loads.The TaskIsolation and transmission of0(4) … 20 mA and 0 … 10 Vstandard signals in two0(4) … 20 mA output channelswith galvanic isolation betweeninput, outputs, and power supply.The ProblemsMeasuring and control engineeringfrequently requires an analogstandard signal to be processedat two points, i.e. by two devices,both of which are to recognizethe signal. To prevent falsifiedsignals and in particular, in theevent of errors, interaction oreven damage, it is vital to isolatesignals and devices galvanicallyfrom one another.The SolutionThe VariTrans® A 20300 signaldoubler is an extremely compactproduct which also allows thetask to be dealt with costefficiently.Its input, both outputs, andpower supply are decoupled fromone another (4-port isolation).The HousingMeasuring only 6 mm, the ultraslim,closed 8-pin modular housingof the VariTrans® A 20300takes up only a little space onthe top hat rail and, if necessary,can be installed at a later date.The AdvantagesAs a signal doubler:In addition to “doubling” theanalog signal, the VariTrans®A 20300 can also convert signals,if required. For example, if thesignal source has only one voltageoutput but the installationuses current signals, the signaldoubler converts the voltagesignal (0 … 10 V) proportionallyinto the required current signals(0 ... 20 mA or 4 … 20 mA).An adjustment from “Dead Zero”(0 ... 20 mA) to “Live Zero”(4 ... 20 mA) is also possible.The corresponding input and outputsignals are calibrated and canbe selected using DIP switches,the two outputs being switchedtogether.For load increase:The VariTrans® A 20300 may alsobe used when a particularly highoutput load is required. Standardsignal sources can often drive aload of up to 500 ohms, i. e.supply 10 V at 20 mA.Sometimes certain devices – e. g.actuators – require a higher voltage,i.e. their input resistance ishigher. Likewise in this case, thesignal doubler can solve the problem:Both output signals are nownot used separately but are connectedin series to form one signal.The available voltage is thendoubled allowing an increasedload up to 1000 ohms (20 V at20 mA). The 0/4 up to 20 mAcurrent which determines thesignal remains, of course.The TechnologyIn order to implement the highfunctionality of an A 20300 inthe smallest of spaces – in a6 mm wide modular housingwith correspondingly small volume– a patented circuit technologyis used. The energy balance(2 active outputs) in particularmust be optimized for all operatingconditions. An applicationfor patent has been filed for thecircuit principles of the VariTrans®A 20300. Like all products in theVariTrans® A 20XXX series, thesignal doubler also provides SafeIsolation according to EN 61140to ensure high-level protection ofpersonnel and equipment. This isachieved by means of increasedinsulation in compliance withEN 61010-1.In spite of being only 6 mm wide,the VariTrans® A 20300 makes nocompromises regarding its insulationproperties.74

Modular HousingsIsoTrans ® 41For isolation of0(4) … 20 mA standardcurrent signals;up to 3 channels.The TaskIf there is no power supplyavailable, the galvanic isolationof 0(4) ... 20 mA standardcurrent signals requires investmentin power supply units.The ProblemsMany products provide looppoweredisolation with insufficentaccuracy only. The desire for highaccuracy demands an isolatorconcept that fulfils the highestexpectations.The load capability of the20-mA source is limited andtherefore requires economicalhandling of the load voltage.The SolutionKnick IsoTrans® 41 with transformerpotential isolation hasspecifications well beyond otherloop-powered DC isolationamplifiers. 0.2 % fault class andjust 1.2 V voltage requirementallow diverse uses of this isolator.The HousingThe A2 modular housing with awidth of 22.5 mm for max. 3isolators offers optimum spaceusage in multichannel mode.The A3 modular housing for oneisolator is just 17.5 mm wide.The full encapsulation guaranteesa high level of reliability even inextreme conditions.The AdvantagesThe galvanic isolation in theIsoTrans® 41 is achieved using apassive isolator that obtains itspower as a voltage drop fromthe measurement signal.This saves on supply units andcabling and increases thereliability accordingly.The TechnologyThe units work with a serialchopper generator in the currentpath. This avoids the accuracyreducingcurrent losses of normalparallel connected generators,considerably reduces the voltagedrop, and ensures accuratetransmission even of the lowestcurrents.The ApplicationGalvanic isolation– of input and output circuits– the supply voltage of2-wire transmitters– in the case of addition oranother coupling of signals atdifferent potentials– for removal of double groundcompensation currents– when there is an insufficientinsulation and test voltage– of high-potential signal sources– for battery-powered deviceswith a central batteryWarranty5 years!Defects occurring within 5 yearsfrom delivery are remedied free ofcharge at our works (carriage andinsurance paid by sender).80

Modular HousingsIsoTrans ® A 20400The first reactionless passiveisolator comprising theBürdenstop® function toprovide safe isolation of0(4) ... 20 mA standardsignals.The TaskMeasurement signals betweensensor and controller should beisolated galvanically to ensurereliable and safe operation of theinstallation. Here, loop-poweredstandard signal isolators are alow-cost solution. There is noexpenditure for power supplyunits and their wiring.The Problemsare often, particularly in largeplants, the lack of space formounting the isolators and theincreasing operating temperaturesin distributors and switchcabinets.The Solutioncomes in the form of the KnickAdvanced Series IsoTrans®A 20400 loop-powered isolators.An extremely high componentdensity of up to 320 channels permeter top-hat rail and excellenttechnical properties, such as theirsafe isolation, make the isolatorsunbeatable – as does their priceperformanceratio!The Function PrincipleThe IsoTrans® A 20400 obtains itspower directly from the measurementsignal as a voltage dropwithout distorting it.There are no costs for a powersupply and wiring.The IsoTrans® A 20400 moreor less has no self-heating thatwould cause the electronic componentsto age faster.Together with a patented switchingtechnique, this means maximumreliability. Due to thisextraordinary long service life:5 years warranty!The TechnologyA transmission error of just0.1%, excellent square-waveresponse and very low residualripple guarantee perfect signaltransmission. The low voltagedrop of approx. 1.7 V only loadsthe signal slightly.The high test voltage up to2.5 kV and Safe Isolation up to300 V according to EN 61140protect the operating personnelagainst, for example, the mainsvoltage.Interference-FreeFunctionalityNow Knick has considerablyexpanded the application possibilitiesof passive isolators by implementinga Bürdenstop® (loadstop) function. Here, the currentsupplied at the primary side ismaintained independently fromthe output load. Thus, for the firsttime any excessive load increaseat the output, such as caused byline breakage or inconstant loadsincluding complex impedances,can be compensated for.Warranty5 years!Defects occurring within 5 yearsfrom delivery are remedied free ofcharge at our works (carriage andinsurance paid by sender).The HousingThe ultra-slim 6 mm wide modularhousing for one or two channelsallows simple and fastassembly.100

Modular HousingsVariTrans ® P 41000Universal high-voltageisolators.Input signals fromV in= ±60 mV up toV in= ±100 V.The TaskIn high-voltage systems unipolaror bipolar voltage signals rangingfrom 60 mV to 100 V, e.g. voltagesacross shunt resistors, mustbe galvanically isolated andconverted to standard ±20 mA,±10 V, or 4 ... 20 mA outputsignals.The ProblemsIn the case of insufficient insulationthe high voltages and harshambient conditions may impairthe galvanic isolation. This canresult in false signals or even personalinjury or damage to theequipment. These risks have tobe securely eliminated in the longterm through isolation amplifiersthat are specially suited for highvoltageapplications.The SolutionThe VariTrans® P 41000isolation amplifiers have beenspecially conceived for measurementsof bipolar voltages frommillivolts to volts. They reliablyisolate high potentials at theinput circuit.The isolating distances aredesigned to withstand permanentvoltages up to 3600 V AC/DCand fast transients up to 20 kV.Protection against electric shockis achieved through Safe Isolationto EN 61140 from input to outputand power supply.The HousingFor the VariTrans® P 41000 highvoltageisolation amplifiers anew 22.5 mm wide modularhousing is used. It is snappedon a standard DIN rail. The frontpanels of the adjustable modelsprovide a rotary coding switchfor selecting the ranges.The AdvantagesThe VariTrans® P 41000 are availablefor any input voltages from±60 mV to ±100 V. Analogunipolar and bipolar (standard)signals are available at theoutput: ±20 mA, ±10 V, and4 ... 20 mA standard signals.16 input/output signal combinationscan easily be selected witha rotary coding switch on thefront of the device. Tedious onsiteadjustment using a screwdriver,calibrator, and multimeteris no longer required. Drift problemsdue to instable trimmingcomponents (e. g. potentiometers)are avoided. Thanks to theeasy scalability of the rangeselection, the devices can be flexiblysuited to the individual needsof the application. Up to 16 customizedsignal combinations canbe implemented in one device.The integrated 20 to 253 VAC/DC VariPower® broad-rangepower supply offers highest flexibility.This ensures trouble-freeoperation with alternating ordirect voltages everywhere in theworld and provides for maximumsafety even in unstable power106

Installation issafe and easy: Erroneous connectionof mains supply is practicallyimpossible. Expensive standstilltimes and repair work during thecommissioning are prevented.Vacuum encapsulation providesmaximum long-term protectionagainst aggressive environmentalinfluences, shock, and vibrationsand ensures the high disruptivestrength required for workingvoltages up to 3600 V AC/DC.The isolation system meets thesafety requirements ofEN 61010-1 and EN 50124-1(railway applications: insulationcoordination).The TechnologyIn this series, Knick relies on thenewly developed TransShield®technology which compared toconventional designs enablesvery compact high-voltagetransformers with low leakage.Thanks to the resulting spaceadvantage, the P 41000 shuntisolators can be installed in anonly 22.5 mm wide modularhousing.Another substantial advantage ofthis technology: High transientovervoltages (common-modeinterference) are reliably isolatedand cause hardly any measurementerrors at the output.To guarantee the specified isolationcapabilities, the devices aresubjected to routine testing with15 kV AC (fixed-range models)or 10 kV AC (switchable models)on a 100 % basis.Circuit design and device constructionensure excellent transmissioncharacteristics, which arereflected in zero stability, linearity,long-term stability, frequencyresponse, and immunity to interference.A cutoff frequency>5 kHz and rise time

Modular HousingsVariTrans ® P 42000Universal high-voltageisolators.Input voltages up toI in= ±3600 V.The TaskIn high-voltage systems unipolaror bipolar voltage signals rangingfrom 100 V to 3600 V must begalvanically isolated and convertedto standard ±20 mA, ±10 V,or 4 ... 20 mA output signals.The ProblemsIn the case of insufficient insulationthe high voltages and harshambient conditions may impairthe galvanic isolation. This canresult in false signals or even personalinjury or damage to theequipment. These risks have tobe securely eliminated in the longterm through isolation amplifiersthat are specially suited for highvoltageapplications.The SolutionThe VariTrans® P 42000isolation amplifiers have beenspecially conceived for measuringhigh voltages up to 3600 VAC/DC. They reliably isolate highpotentials at the input circuit.The isolating distances aredesigned to withstand permanentvoltages up to 3600 V AC/DCand fast transients up to 20 kV.Protection against electric shockis achieved through Safe Isolationto EN 61140 from input to outputand power supply.The HousingFor the VariTrans® P 42000 highvoltageisolation amplifiers anew 67.5 mm wide modularhousing is used. It is snappedon a standard DIN rail. The frontpanels of the adjustable modelsprovide a rotary coding switchfor selecting the ranges.The AdvantagesThe VariTrans® P 42000 are availablefor any input voltages from±100 V to ±3600 V. Analogunipolar and bipolar (standard)signals are available at theoutput: ±20 mA, ±10 V, and4 ... 20 mA standard signals.16 input/output signal combinationscan easily be selected witha rotary coding switch on thefront of the device. Tedious onsiteadjustment using a screwdriver,calibrator, and multimeteris no longer required. Drift problemsdue to instable trimmingcomponents (e. g. potentiometers)are avoided. Thanks tothe easy scalability of the rangeselection, the devices can be flexiblysuited to the individual needsof the application. Up to 16 customizedsignal combinations canbe implemented in one device.The integrated 20 to 253 VAC/DC VariPower® broad-rangepower supply offers highest flexibility.This ensures trouble-freeoperation with alternating ordirect voltages everywhere in theworld and provides for maximumsafety even in unstable powersupply systems. Installation is alsoeasy and safe: Erroneous connectionof mains supply is practicallyimpossible. Expensive standstilltimes and repair work during thecommissioning are prevented.Vacuum encapsulation providesmaximum long-term protectionagainst aggressive environmentalinfluences, shock, and vibrationsand ensures the high disruptivestrength required for workingvoltages up to 3600 V AC/DC.The isolation system meetsthe safety requirements ofEN 61010-1 and EN 50124-1(railway applications: insulationcoordination).114

Modular HousingsVariTrans ® P 43000Universal high-voltageisolators.Input currents up toIin = 5 A.Warranty5 years!Defects occurring within 5 yearsfrom delivery are remedied free ofcharge at our works (carriage andinsurance paid by sender).The TaskIn high-voltage systems unipolaror bipolar currents ranging from100 mA to 5 A must be galvanicallyisolated and converted tostandard ±20 mA, ±10 V, or4 ... 20 mA output signals.The ProblemsIn the case of insufficient insulationthe high voltages and harshambient conditions may impairthe galvanic isolation. This canresult in false signals or even personalinjury or damage to theequipment. These risks have tobe securely eliminated in the longterm through isolation amplifiersthat are specially suited for highvoltageapplications.The SolutionThe VariTrans® P 43000isolation amplifiers have beenspecially conceived for directmeasurement of currents up to5 A AC/DC. They reliably isolatehigh potentials at the inputcircuit.The isolating distances aredesigned to withstand permanentvoltages up to 3600 V AC/DCand fast transients up to 20 kV.Protection against electric shockis achieved through Safe Isolationto EN 61140 from input to outputand power supply.The HousingFor the VariTrans® P 43000 highvoltageisolation amplifiers anew 45 mm wide modular housingis used. It is snapped on astandard DIN rail. The front panelsof the adjustable models providea rotary coding switch forselecting the ranges.The AdvantagesThe VariTrans® P 43000 are availablefor any input currents from±100 mA to ±5 A. Analog unipolarand bipolar (standard) signalsare available at the output:±20 mA, ±10 V, and 4 ... 20 mA.16 input/output signal combinationscan easily be selected with arotary coding switch on the frontof the device. Tedious on-siteadjustment using a screwdriver,calibrator, and multimeter is nolonger required. Drift problemsdue to instable trimming components(e. g. potentiometers) areavoided. Thanks to the easy scalabilityof the range selection, thedevices can be flexibly suited tothe individual needs of the application.Up to 16 customized signalcombinations can be implementedin one device.The integrated 20 to 253 VAC/DC VariPower® broad-rangepower supply offers highest flexibility.This ensures trouble-freeoperation with alternating ordirect voltages everywhere in theworld and provides for maximumsafety even in unstable powersupply networks. Installation isalso easy and safe: Erroneousconnection of mains supply ispractically impossible. Expensivestandstill times and repair workduring the commissioning areprevented.Vacuum encapsulation providesmaximum long-term protectionagainst aggressive environmentalinfluences, shock, and vibrationsand ensures the high disruptivestrength required for workingvoltages up to 3600 V AC/DC.The isolation system meetsthe safety requirements ofEN 61010-1 and EN 50124-1(railway applications: insulationcoordination).120

High-Voltage Isolators /Isolation Amplifiers forShunt ApplicationsIsolation AmplifiersTransmittersIndicatorsProcess AnalyticsPortable MetersLaboratory MetersSensorsFittingsThe TechnologyIn this series, Knick relies on thenewly developed TransShield®technology which compared toconventional designs enables verycompact high-voltage transformerswith low leakage. Thanks tothe resulting space savings a just45 mm modular housing is sufficientfor input currents up to5 A AC/DC. Another substantialadvantage of this technology:high transient overvoltages(common-mode interference)are reliably isolated and causehardly any measurement errorsat the output.To guarantee the specified isolationcapabilities, the devices aresubjected to routine testing with15 kV AC (fixed-range models)or 10 kV AC (switchable models)on a 100 % basis.Circuit design and device constructionensure excellent transmissioncharacteristics, which arereflected in zero stability, linearity,long-term stability, frequencyresponse, and immunity tointerference. A cutoff frequency> 5 kHz and rise time < 0.1 msguarantee distortion-free signalconversion. The output signalfollows fast changes in the inputsignal almost without delay.■ The FactsUniversal high-voltageisolators for conversion of inputcurrents up to 5 A to impressed±20 mA, ±10 V, or 4 ... 20 mAoutput signals.New TransShield ® technologyenables extremely compactmodular housingsWorking voltages up to3600 V AC/DCProtection against electricshock through Safe Isolation upto 1800 V AC/DC according toEN 61140Increased test voltage up to15 kV ACExcellent transmissionproperties:– Gain error < 0.3 %– Cutoff frequency > 5 kHz(low-pass filtering possible)– Rise time T90 < 0.1 msTremendous flexibilityprovided by– Calibrated switching of up to16 input/output ranges (upto 2200 V working voltage)– up to 16 customer-specificranges– 20 V to 253 V AC/DC broadrangepower supply unitReliable functioneven with unstable power supplyNo damagein the case of erroneous powerconnectionSwitchable modelsminimize required device variantsand save stockkeeping costsRobustthanks to vacuum encapsulationMechanically stablefor operation on ships, railvehicles, and land crafts5-year warranty121

Modular HousingsPolyTrans ® P 32000Universal transmitter fortemperature, strain gages,and potentiometers –in a 6-mm housing withinfrared interface, SILapproval, and broad-rangepower supply.The TaskTemperature, strain or force, andposition are parameters whichmust be measured in virtually allareas of industry. They are oftenused as reference input for controlor monitoring systems, safetyshutdown systems, or for similarcritical jobs. Here, normally thehighest demands are placed onaccuracy, flexibility, and functionalsafety as well as electrical safety.Different sensors are useddepending on the measuringtask. These sensors provide araw signal which is prepared,linearized if required, and standardizedfor further processingusing a transmitter.The ProblemThere is a very wide range ofstandardized and commercial sensorsfor the detection of temperature,strain or force, and position.The large number of sensors,connection variants, individualmeasurement ranges, differentsupply voltages, and required outputsignals call for very variabletransmitters that can be optimallysuited to the different conditions.However, the required flexibilityshould not be paid for with complexoperation. Rather, it is desirablethat adjustments can easilybe made on the site. High performanceshould not result inincreased susceptibility – highreliability and availability are keyrequirements.The SolutionThe PolyTrans® P 32000universal transmitters provideconnection possibilities forall standard thermocouples,resistance thermometers, straingage full bridges, resistors, andpotentiometers/resistive sensors.They can be flexibly adapted tothe respective measuring taskusing DIP and rotary switches orvia an IrDA® port. The broadrangepower supply covers allcommon supply voltages from24 to 230 V and ensures maximumsafety even with unstablemains supplies. 3-port isolationwith Safe Isolation up to 300 VAC/DC according to EN 61140ensures optimum protection ofpersonnel and equipment as wellas unaltered transmission ofmeasurement signals.The PolyTrans® P 32000 offermaximum performance in thesmallest of spaces.Resistance thermometers can beoperated either in 2-, 3-, or 4-wire configuration. The configurationtype is automatically recognized,adjustment is not required.All commercial thermocouplescan be detected with internalor external reference junctioncompensation.To detect mechanical quantitiessuch as force or strain, straingages can be connected in fullbridgeconfiguration. The possibilityfor connecting resistive sensorsand potentiometers creates awide range of application possibilities,for example, in the fieldof path or position measurement.Input voltage signals up to+/–1000 mV are converted to0/4 to 20 mA or 0 to 10 Vstandard signals. This enableslow-cost implementation of currentmeasurements using shuntresistors, for example.The devices meet the requirementsof type of protection “n“.This means they can be installedand used in Zone 2 hazardousareas in the EC, the USA, and inCanada. Thanks to their approvalto Class 1, Division 2 (UL 1604),they can also be used accordingto the traditional North Americanclassification system.Knick offers the PolyTrans®P 32000 transmitters with SILapproval for applications withhigh demands on functionalsafety. The requirements ofEN 61508 were implemented bya specially developed hardware138

The fail-safe conceptmakes use of structuralmeasures at the device level(redundancy of system components)and diagnostic methodsfor selective fault detection.The product is SIL 2 approved(EN 61508) by an authorizedbody (TÜV Rheinland).Operating SoftwareThe user-friendly, menu-guidedParaly® SW 111 communicationsoftware runs on standard andpocket PCs and opens a numberof further options – such asaccess to further sensor types,input of customer-specificlinearization curves, readoutof the connection configuration,as well as the use of extensivediagnostic functions. Configuration,documentation and,if necessary, maintenance ofentire plant components canbe accomplished by “infraredremote control“. Moreover, theoutput current or voltage can bespecified independently of theinput value using the simulationfunction – a useful feature forplant commissioning or revision.The HousingThe modular housing – 6 mmslim – is stingy with enclosurespace and allows high componentdensity.

Modular HousingsThermoTrans ® P 32100Universal transmitters fortemperature measurementwith resistance thermometersand thermocouples –in a 6-mm housing withinfrared interface, SILapproval, and broad-rangepower supply.The TaskIn virtually all areas of industrytemperatures are continuouslymeasured and often used asreference input for closed-loopcontrol systems, monitoring systems,safety shutdown systems,or for similar critical jobs. Here,normally the highest demandsare placed on accuracy, flexibility,and functional safety as well aselectrical safety.Different sensors are useddepending on the measuringtask. They provide a raw signalwhich is prepared, linearized,and standardized for furtherprocessing using a temperaturetransmitter.The ProblemThere is a very wide range ofstandardized and commercialtemperature sensors. The largenumber of sensors, connectionvariants, individual temperatureranges, different supply voltages,and required output signals callfor very variable transmitters thatcan be optimally suited to thedifferent conditions. However, therequired flexibility should not bepaid for with complex operation.Rather, it is desirable that adjustmentscan easily be made onthe site. High performanceshould not result in increasedsusceptibility – high reliability andavailability are key requirements.The SolutionThe universal ThermoTrans®P 32100 temperature transmittersprovide connection possibilitiesfor all common thermocouplesand resistance thermometers.They can be flexibly adapted tothe respective measuring taskusing DIP and rotary switchesor via an IrDA® port. The broadrangepower supply covers allcommon supply voltages from24 to 230 V and ensures maximumsafety even with unstablemains supplies.3-port isolation with Safe Isolationup to 300 V AC/DC accordingto EN 61140 ensures optimumprotection of personnel andequipment as well as unalteredtransmission of measurement signals.The ThermoTrans® P 32100offer maximum performance inthe smallest of spaces.Resistance thermometers can beoperated either in 2-, 3-, or 4-wire configuration. The configurationtype is automatically recognized,adjustment is not required.All commercial thermocouplescan be detected with internalor external reference junctioncompensation.Input voltage signals up to+/–1000 mV are converted to0/4 to 20 mA or 0 to 10 Vstandard signals.This enables low-cost implementationof current measurementsusing shunt resistors, forexample.The devices meet the requirementsof type of protection “n“.This means they can be installedand used in Zone 2 hazardousareas in the EC, the USA, and inCanada. Thanks to their approvalto Class 1, Division 2 (UL 1604),they can also be used accordingto the traditional North Americanclassification system.Special measuring tasks can besolved with ThermoTrans® devicesthat Knick configures accordingto individual specifications. Fixedrangemodels without switch areused, for example, when manipulationsor mix-up are to beexcluded.Knick offers the ThermoTrans®P 32100 transmitters with SILapproval for applications withhigh demands on functional safety.The requirements of EN 61508were implemented by a speciallydeveloped hardware and software.The fail-safe concept makesuse of structural measures atthe device level (redundancy ofsystem components) and diagnosticmethods for selective faultdetection. The product is SIL 2approved (EN 61508) by anauthorized body (TÜV Rheinland).150

Modular HousingsThermoTrans ® A 20210Standard transmitters fortemperature measurementwith resistance thermometersand thermocouples ina 6-mm housing.The TaskIn virtually all areas of industrytemperatures are continuouslymeasured and often used as referenceinput for closed-loop controlsystems, monitoring systems,safety shutdown systems, or forsimilar critical jobs. Here, normallythe highest demands are placedon function, accuracy, flexibility,and electrical safety.Different sensors are useddepending on the measuringtask. They provide a raw signalwhich is prepared, linearized,and standardized for furtherprocessing using a temperaturetransmitter.The ProblemThere is a very wide range ofstandardized and commercialtemperature sensors. The largenumber of sensors, connectionvariants, individual temperatureranges, different supply voltages,and required output signals callfor very variable transmitters thatcan be optimally suited to thedifferent conditions.However, the required flexibilityshould not be paid for withcomplex operation. Rather, it isdesirable that adjustments caneasily be made on the site. Highperformance should not resultin increased susceptibility – highreliability and availability are keyrequirements.The SolutionThe flexible ThermoTrans®A 20210 temperature transmittersprovide connectionpossibilities for all commonthermocouples and resistancethermometers. They can be flexiblyadapted to the respectivemeasuring task using DIP androtary coding switches. 3-portisolation with Safe Isolation upto 300 V AC/DC according toEN 61140 ensures optimum protectionof personnel and equipmentas well as unaltered transmissionof measurement signals.The ThermoTrans® A 20210 offermaximum performance in thesmallest of spaces.Resistance thermometers canbe operated either in 2-, 3-, or4-wire configuration. The configurationtype is automaticallyrecognized, adjustment is notrequired. Thermocouples can bedetected with internal or externalreference junction compensation.Input voltage signals up to+/–1000 mV are converted to0/4 to 20 mA or 0 to 10 Vstandard signals.This enables low-cost implementationof current measurementsusing shunt resistors, for example.The devices meet the requirementsof type of protection “n“.This means they can be installedand used in Zone 2 hazardousareas in the EC, the USA, and inCanada. Thanks to their approvalto Class 1, Division 2 (UL 1604),they can also be used accordingto the traditional North Americanclassification system.Special measuring tasks can besolved with ThermoTrans®devices that Knick configuresaccording to individual specifications.Fixed-range models withoutswitch are used, for example,when manipulations or mix-upare to be excluded.The HousingThe modular housing – 6 mmslim – is stingy with enclosurespace and allows high componentdensity. DIN rail bus connectorsinserted in the mountingrail facilitate the power supplyconnection if necessary.162

Modular HousingsThe transmitters for straingage full bridges – in a6-mm housing with infraredinterface, SIL approval, andbroad-range power supply.SensoTrans ®DMS P 32200The TaskIn many different industrial applicationsstrain gages are used tocontinuously measure mechanicalquantities such as force/weight ordeflection/torsion.In many cases they are used asreference input for monitoringsystems, safety shutdown systems,or for similar critical jobs.Here, normally the highestdemands are placed on accuracy,flexibility, and functional safety aswell as electrical safety.Strain gages are high-sensitiveresistors which react to mechanicalstress with a slight change inresistance. These changes can bedetected by a bridge circuit, inmost cases a full bridge. In forcetransducers and load cells thestrain gages are already mechanicallyapplied in full bridge circuits.These sensors provide a raw signalwhich is prepared and standardizedfor further processingusing a strain gage transmitter.The ProblemCustomary strain gage sensorshave individual characteristics,which requires tedious and timeconsumingadjustment of therespective strain gage transmitterusing potentiometers.Furthermore, strain gage transmittersup to now had a verywide modular housing and thereforeoccupied a large amount ofspace in the enclosure. For worldwideapplications, often severalversions with different supplyvoltages were used.The SolutionThe universal SensoTrans® DMSP 32200 strain gage transmittersprovide connection possibilitiesfor all standard strain gage forcetransducers and strain gage loadcells in full bridge configuration.They can be flexibly adapted tothe respective measuring taskusing DIP and rotary switches orvia an IrDA® port. The broadrangepower supply covers allcommon supply voltages from24 to 230 V and ensures maximumsafety even with unstablemains supplies.3-port isolation with Safe Isolationup to 300 V AC/DC accordingto EN 61140 ensures optimumprotection of personnel andequipment as well as unalteredtransmission of measurementsignals. The SensoTrans® DMSP 32200 offer maximum performancein the smallest of spaces.Adjusting the zero point andsensitivity to the individual straingage sensor is particularly convenientvia the infrared port, forexample using a PDA. Sensorswith known characteristics canbe very easily calibrated using4 rotary coding switches and8 DIP switches.Special measuring tasks can besolved with SensoTrans® devicesthat Knick configures accordingto individual specifications. Fixedrangemodels without switch areused, for example, when manipulationsor mix-up are to beexcluded.The devices meet the requirementsof type of protection “n“.This means they can be installedand used in Zone 2 hazardousareas in the EC, the USA, and inCanada.

Modular HousingsSensoTrans ®DMS A 20220The transmitter for straingage full bridges in6-mm housing.The TaskIn many different industrial applicationsstrain gages are used tocontinuously measure mechanicalquantities such as force/weightor deflection/torsion.In many cases they are used asreference input for monitoringsystems, safety shutdown systems,or for similar critical jobs.Here, normally the highestdemands are placed on function,accuracy, flexibility, and electricalsafety.Strain gages are high-sensitiveresistors which react to mechanicalstress with a slight change inresistance. These changes can bedetected by a bridge circuit, inmost cases a full bridge. In forcetransducers and load cells thestrain gages are already mechanicallyapplied in full bridge circuits.These sensors provide a raw signalwhich is prepared and standardizedfor further processingusing a strain gage transmitter.The ProblemCustomary strain gage sensorshave individual characteristics,which requires tedious and timeconsumingadjustment of therespective strain gage transmitterusing potentiometers.Furthermore, strain gage transmittersup to now had a verywide modular housing and thereforeoccupied a large amount ofspace in the enclosure. For worldwideapplications, often severalversions with different supplyvoltages were used.The SolutionThe universal SensoTrans® DMSA 20220 strain gage transmittersprovide connection possibilitiesfor all standard strain gage forcetransducers and strain gage loadcells in full bridge configuration.They can be flexibly adapted tothe respective measuring taskusing DIP and rotary codingswitches or via a “teach-in function“.3-port isolation with SafeIsolation up to 300 V AC/DCaccording to EN 61140 ensuresoptimum protection of personneland equipment as well as unalteredtransmission of measurementsignals. The SensoTrans®DMS A 20220 offer maximumperformance in the smallest ofspaces.Adjusting the zero point andsensitivity to the individual straingage sensor is particularly convenientusing the “teach-infunction“ – just at the pushof a button at the device front.Sensors with known characteristicscan be very easily calibratedusing 4 rotary coding switchesand 8 DIP switches.Special measuring tasks can besolved with SensoTrans devicesthat Knick configures accordingto individual specifications. Fixedrangemodels without switch areused, for example, when manipulationsor mix-up are to beexcluded.The devices meet the requirementsof type of protection “n“.This means they can be installedand used in Zone 2 hazardousareas in the EC, the USA, and inCanada. Thanks to their approvalto Class 1, Division 2 (UL 1604),they can also be used accordingto the traditional North Americanclassification system.The HousingThe modular housing – 6 mmslim – is stingy with enclosurespace and allows high componentdensity.

Modular HousingsSensoTrans ® R P 32300The transmitter forpotentiometers forposition determination,path measurement, or setpointspecification – in a 6mm housing with infraredinterface, SIL approval, andbroad-range power supply.The TaskIn many fields of industry positionsof actuators or directors,for example, must be accuratelydetected. In many cases they areused as reference input for controlor monitoring systems, safetyshutdown systems, or for similarcritical jobs. Here, normally thehighest demands are placed onaccuracy, flexibility, and functionalsafety as well as electrical safety.Rotative motions can be detectedby potentiometers used as angleencoder, translative motions bylinear potentiometers used asposition encoder.These and other sensors providea raw signal which is prepared,scaled, and converted to a standardsignal for further processingusing a resistance transmitter.The ProblemCustomary position sensors haveindividual characteristics, whichrequires tedious and time-consumingadjustment of the respectiveresistance transmitter usingpotentiometers.Furthermore, resistance transmittersup to now had a very widemodular housing and thereforeoccupied a large amount of spacein the enclosure. For world-wideapplications, often several versionswith different supply voltageswere used.The SolutionThe universal SensoTrans® R P32300 resistance transmitters provideconnection possibilities forall standard potentiometers forangle, path, or position detectionup to 50 kohms. They can beflexibly adapted to the respectivemeasuring task using DIP androtary switches or via an IrDA®port. The broad-range powersupply covers all common supplyvoltages from 24 to 230 V AC/DCand ensures maximum safetyeven with unstable mains supplies.3-port isolation with SafeIsolation up to 300 V AC/DCaccording to EN 61140 ensuresoptimum protection of personneland equipment as well as unalteredtransmission of measurementsignals. The SensoTrans® RP 32300 offer maximum performancein the smallest of spaces.Adjusting the start and end valueto the individual position sensoris particularly convenient via theinfrared interface, for exampleusing a PDA. Sensors with knowncharacteristics can be very easilycalibrated using 4 rotary codingswitches and 8 DIP switches.Special measuring tasks can besolved with SensoTrans® devicesthat Knick configures accordingto individual specifications. Fixedrangemodels without switch areused, for example, when manipulationsor mix-up are to beexcluded.The devices meet the requirementsof type of protection “n“.This means they can be installedand used in Zone 2 hazardousareas in the EC, the USA, and inCanada. Thanks to their approvalto Class 1, Division 2 (UL 1604),they can also be used accordingto the traditional North Americanclassification system.Knick offers the SensoTrans®R P 32300 transmitter with SILapproval for applications withhigh demands on functional safety.The requirements of EN 61508were implemented by a speciallydeveloped hardware and software.The fail-safe concept makesuse of structural measures at thedevice level (redundancy of systemcomponents) and diagnosticmethods for selective faultdetection. The product is SIL 2approved (EN 61508) by anauthorized body (TÜV Rheinland).188

Modular HousingsSensoTrans ® R A 20230The transmitter forpotentiometers for positiondetermination, pathmeasurement, or setpointspecification in a 6 mmhousing.The TaskIn many fields of industry positionsof actuators or directors,for example, must be accuratelydetected. In many cases they areused as reference input for controlor monitoring systems, safetyshutdown systems, or for similarcritical jobs. Here, normally thehighest demands are placed onfunction, accuracy, flexibility, andelectrical safety.Rotative motions can be detectedby potentiometers used as angleencoder, translative motions bylinear potentiometers used asposition encoder.These and other sensors providea raw signal which is prepared,scaled, and converted into a standardsignal for further processingusing a resistance transmitter.The ProblemCustomary position sensorshave individual characteristics,which requires tedious and timeconsumingadjustment of therespective resistance transmitterusing potentiometers.Furthermore, resistance transmittersup to now had a very widemodular housing and thereforeoccupied a large amount of spacein the enclosure. For world-wideapplications, often severalversions with different supplyvoltages were used.The SolutionThe universal SensoTrans®R A 20230 resistance transmittersprovide connection possibilitiesfor all standard potentiometersfor angle, path, or position detectionup to 50 kohms. They can beflexibly adapted to the respectivemeasuring task using DIP androtary coding switches or viaa “teach-in function“. 3-portisolation with Safe Isolation upto 300 V AC/DC according toEN 61140 ensures optimumprotection of personnel andequipment as well as unalteredtransmission of measurement signals.The SensoTrans® R A 20230offer maximum performance inthe smallest of spaces.Adjusting the start and end valueto the individual position sensor isparticularly convenient using the“teach-in function“ – just at thepush of a button at the devicefront. Sensors with knowncharacteristics can be very easilycalibrated using 4 rotary codingswitches and 8 DIP switches.Special measuring tasks can besolved with SensoTrans® devicesthat Knick configures accordingto individual specifications. Fixedrangemodels without switchare used, for example, whenmanipulations or mix-up areto be excluded.The devices meet the requirementsof type of protection “n“.This means they can be installedand used in Zone 2 hazardousareas in the EC, the USA, and inCanada. Thanks to their approvalto Class 1, Division 2 (UL 1604),they can also be used accordingto the traditional North Americanclassification system.The HousingThe modular housing – 6 mmslim – is stingy with enclosurespace and allows high componentdensity. DIN rail bus connectorsinserted in the mountingrail facilitate the power supplyconnection if necessary.Warranty5 years!Defects occurring within 5 yearsfrom delivery are remedied free ofcharge at our works (carriage andinsurance paid by sender).198

Furthermore themaintenance staff and the systemneed to be protected against highpotentials.The Solutioncomes with the switchable looppoweredIsoTrans® 600 AC/DCtransmitters.Only the transmitters with4 … 20 mA output require230 V AC power supply.The calibrated range selection forall regular alternating voltagesand the 22.5 mm slim modularhousing allow universal use.The AdvantagesThe accuracy class is 0.5 – noneed to readjust the switchableranges.The IsoTrans® 600 provides SafeIsolation up to 600 V AC/DCaccording to EN 61010-1.This allows use in 3-phasesystems. Further measures forensuring safe isolation are notnecessary.Except for the 4 … 20 mA output,the IsoTrans® 600 is supplieddirectly from the measurementsignal. There are no costs for apower supply and wiring.Optimized switching technologymakes the power consumptionand the resulting self-heatingvery low. This protects againstunnecessary temperature-relatedcomponent aging and thusincreases reliability.The TechnologyFor conversion, the average inputvalues are calibrated to formr. m. s values.Short rise times, very low residualripple and excellent overloadbehavior guarantee maximumtransmission quality.206

M12 Field HousingsCompact standard signalisolators / converters withM12 connection technologyfor automation withoutenclosures.DuraTrans ®M12-A 20000The TaskIsolation and conversion of0 (4) ... 20 mA und 0 ... 10 Vstandard signals directly on thesite in harsh industrial environment.The ProblemsWet, dirty, or dusty environmentsrequire a robust housing.Therefore, components with IP20protection are not suitable formodern automation conceptswithout enclosures since theywould require additional andexpensive protective cases.An easy and above all feasiblesolution must be found for analogsignal processing in an IP67environment.The SolutionWith the DuraTrans® M12-A20000 standard-signal isolationconverters, Knick has now presenteda new series that considerablysimplifies decentralizationin the field of analog signaltransmission. The devices are protectedaccording to IP68 and areinstalled without an enclosure oradditional protective case directlyin the machine – even underharsh ambient conditions. Theyenable signal adaptation and galvanicisolation in one componentand carry out the two core functionsof analog signal processingdirectly on the site.The HousingDuraTrans® M12-A 20000consistently uses the tried andtested M12 circular connectors,thus it optimally supports existingwiring concepts for IP67.Measuring 83 x 36 x 14 mm, theDuraTrans® M12 housings haveextremely compact dimensions.The housing material is PBT(polybutylene terephthalate).It is extremely resistant to minerallubricants and alcohols andcomplies with flame class V-0according to UL 94.A retaining bracket for easyon-site installation as well ascables in different lengths withM12 connection technology areavailable as product accessories.The Advantages– Substantial cost and space savingsdue to omission of enclosuresor terminal boxes.– Plug & Play:• Easy connection thanks toscrewable M12 circularconnectors• Quick and easy installationwithout tools• Preassembled connections toprevent wiring errors– Sturdy housing with IP 68protection, fully encapsulatedand therefore optimally suitedfor wet, dirty, or dustyenvironments.– Eight device variants with fixedinput and output settings:0 to 20 mA, 4 to 20 mA,or 0 to 10 V.The TechnologyDespite the extremely compacthousings, the DuraTrans® M12series provides true 3-port isolationbetween input, output, andpower supply. Safe Isolationaccording to EN 61140 ensuresoptimum protection of personneland equipment. The test voltageacross input, output, and powersupply is 1500 V AC.Minimum self-heating enablesuse in a wide temperature rangeand increases the service life ofthe devices. For example, theMTBF (mean time between failures)is 440 years. Vacuum encapsulationprotects the electronicsreliably against extreme ambientconditions.Analog transmission of measuredvalues ensures excellent signalquality with maximum long-termstability and reliability.264

EurocardsIsoAmp ® 11000/12000Universal isolationamplifiers for ±20 mV to±10 V or ±20 mA inputsignals.The ModelsKnick’s IsoAmp® 11000/12000series features a tried and testedrange of powerful DC isolationamplifiers that have excellentspecifications despite their smalldimensions and have a symmetricalinput with high commonmode rejection.The ProblemsWhen conventional unsymmetricalisolation amplifiers are used,measurement signal interferencecan occur that seem inexplicableto the user at first. If, for example,there are several devices in acurrent output loop, an isolationamplifier can meet a LO outputwith its HI input which can causethe above-mentioned signalinterference.The InputsOn the Knick IsoAmp®11000/12000 DC isolation amplifiers,the input is symmetrical,i. e. both input terminals can beexchanged without undesiredeffects on the common moderejection.Models with connections forexternal gain setting, zeroing andlive-zero switching (0 ... 20 mA/4 ... 20 mA) are available forspecial tasks.The ApplicationsThe isolation amplifiers allowtrouble-free use, particularly forapplications where small dimensionsare required in conjunctionwith high isolation voltage, highaccuracy, and maximum reliability.Warranty5 years!Defects occurring within 5 yearsfrom delivery are remedied free ofcharge at our works (carriage andinsurance paid by sender).278

EurocardsIsoAmp ® 3000/4000For transmission andconversion of impressedsignals.286The DC isolation amplifiers ofthe IsoAmp® 3000/4000 seriestransmit and convert impressed0(4) … 20 mA or 0 … 10 Vstandard signals according to ourGerman patent DBP 34 12 843with maximum accuracy.They provide Safe Isolation andhigh insulation from input tooutput to power supply.The AdvantagesThe control range extends intothe negative values and allowsstrict linear transmission in thezero range. Compared with conventionalunipolar amplifiers, thishas a great advantage: The oftenasymptotic setting of the zeropoint, for example, when calibratingwith a sensor, is ruled out.The number of transmissionerrors is unusually low. The reasonfor this is mainly a negativefeedback circuit that is incorporatedin the electrical isolation. It hasno sensing resistor with 1:1 transmissionand just one sensingresistor for current/voltage conversion.Differentiated signalreturn allows the circuit to remainstable even with strong complexloads.The components required in conventionalconcepts for matchingamplifiers and resistor networksare omitted. The reliability isaccordingly high. The computeraidedproduction control andfinal inspection ensure high andconstant quality. The full encapsulationguarantees maximumsafety and reliability even inextreme conditions.The ApplicationsThe devices can be used for manygalvanic isolation applications,for example:– in measuring and controlengineering– for linking measurement signalsto different potentials– for removal of double groundcompensation currents– for isolation of dangerous touchvoltages– for computer interfacing– for increase of load voltage anddecoupled signal transmissionEach Eurocard can be equippedwith up to four channels.The 16-mm-high channel designeven allows just 4 TE rack width.Therefore 21 cards with 84 channelscan be accommodated per19; rack.For Safe Isolationaccording to EN 61140, therequired clearance and creepagedistances should be taken intoconsideration.The ModelsIsoAmp® 3820 transformsthe input current 1:1 into animpressed output current withoutnegative feedback resistors bymeans of negative-feedbackcurrent transformation.IsoAmp® 4820 converts theinput current 2:1 into animpressed output voltage withjust one precision resistor aftercurrent transformation.IsoAmp® 3310 converts theinput voltage 3:1 into animpressed output current withjust a precision resistor aftervoltage transformation.IsoAmp® 4310 converts theinput voltage 1:1 into animpressed output voltage withoutnegative-feedback resistors aftervoltage transformation.Warranty5 years!Defects occurring within 5 yearsfrom delivery are remedied free ofcharge at our works (carriage andinsurance paid by sender).

EurocardsIsoTrans ® 41For isolation of0(4) ... 20 mA standardsignals in 19; formatwithout a power supply.The TaskGalvanic isolation of measurementsignals using 19; technology,cost cutting by means ofminimum cabling in seriesproductionThe ProblemsThe application possibilities forloop-powered isolators are mainlydefined by the following criticaldata:– Voltage drop– Operating current– Accuracy– Load voltage– Signal delay– Isolation voltage– DimensionsThe SolutionKnick’s IsoTrans® 41 isolator hasunmatched technical specifications.The isolator draws itspower as voltage drop fromthe measured signal withoutinfluencing it noticeably.This saves on supply units andcabling and increases thereliability accordingly.The HousingThe integration of several moduleson a Eurocard means minimumcabling, compact design,and a low price. The full encapsulationguarantees a high level ofreliability even in extremeconditions.The AdvantagesThe IsoTrans® 41 with a voltagedrop of 1.2 V is the 1:1 isolatorfor all applications where looppoweredisolators are not suitablebecause of technical problemssuch as excessive voltage drop.The ApplicationGalvanic isolation– of input and output circuits– of the supply voltage of2-wire transmitters– in the case of addition orother coupling of signals atdifferent potentials– for removal of double groundcompensation currents– in the case of insufficientinsulation and test voltage– of high-potential signal sources– for battery-powered deviceswith a central batteryThe TechnologyKnick’s IsoTrans® 41 DC isolatorswith transformer isolation havespecifications well beyond anyother loop-powered isolators.They feature a chopper generatorconnected in series in the currentpath and current conversionwhich gradually changes fromsine to square wave over themeasuring range.

ModulesIsoAmp ® 11000/12000The universal isolator.The ModelsKnick’s IsoAmp® 11000/12000series features a tried and testedrange of powerful DC isolationamplifiers that have excellentspecifications despite their smalldimensions and have a symmetricalinput with high commonmode rejection.The ProblemsWhen conventional unsymmetricalisolation amplifiers are used,measurement signal interferencescan occur that seem inexplicableto the user at first. If, for example,there are several devices in acurrent output loop, an isolationamplifier can meet a LO outputwith its HI input which can causethe above-mentioned signalinterferences.The InputsOn the Knick IsoAmp®11000/12000 DC isolationamplifiers, the input is symmetrical,i. e. both input terminals canbe exchanged without undesiredeffects on the common moderejection.Models with connections forexternal gain setting, nulling, andlive-zero switching (0 ... 20 mA /4 ... 20 mA) are available forspecial tasks.The ApplicationsThe isolation amplifiers allowproblem-free use, particularly forapplications where small dimensionsare required in conjunctionwith high isolation voltage, highaccuracy, and maximum reliability.314

ModulesIsoAmp ® 3000/4000For transmission andconversion of impressedsignals.The DC isolation amplifiers ofthe IsoAmp® 3000/4000 seriestransmit and convert impressed0(4) ... 20 mA or 0 ... 10 Vstandard signals according to ourGerman patent DBP 34 12 843with a high level of accuracy.They provide Safe Isolation andhigh insulation from input tooutput to power supply.The AdvantagesThe control range extends intothe negative values and allowsstrict linear transmission in thezero range. Compared with conventionalunipolar amplifiers, thishas a great advantage: The oftenasymptotic setting of the zeropoint, for example, when calibratingwith a sensor, is ruled out.The transmission error is unusuallylow. The reason for this ismainly a negative feedback circuitthat is incorporated in the electricalisolation. It has no sensingresistor with 1:1 transmissionand just one sensing resistor forcurrent/voltage conversion. Differentiatedsignal return allows thecircuit to remain stable even withstrong complex loads.The components required in conventionalconcepts for matchingamplifiers and resistor networksare omitted.
