Description

2. Product Function Description

This galvanic isolator is a signal conditioning accessory for Honeywell analog output control loops, installed between AO FTA terminal board and field regulating valves/actuators.
  1. Full Galvanic Isolation

    Complete electrical separation between DCS cabinet internal control circuit and field actuator loop, thoroughly eliminate ground loop potential difference drift, suppress EMI and ESD surge interference from long field cables.

  2. 4–20mA Signal Transmission & Conversion

    Receives standard 4–20mA regulating signal output from AO FTA, isolates and reconstructs linear 4–20mA current signal to drive field pneumatic/electric valve positioners. Guarantees no signal attenuation and control precision within full scale.

  3. Overvoltage & Overcurrent Protection

    Built-in self-recovery protection circuit; automatically limit output current and clamp surge voltage when field short-circuit or lightning surge occurs, avoid backflow damage to AO IOP main card.

  4. Partial Conformal Coating (-175 exclusive feature)

    Key circuit area coated with anti-corrosion conformal paint, stronger resistance to high humidity, slight corrosive gas and dust than the standard -100 model, suitable for semi-harsh chemical, power auxiliary cabinet environments.

  5. Compact Plug-and-Play Installation

    Lightweight modular design, directly wired to AO FTA screw terminals without extra rack space; supports online replacement without shutting down the control loop temporarily.

4. Industrial Application Scenarios

  1. Chemical & Petrochemical Industry

    Reactor, distillation column regulating valve AO loop isolation; solve ground loop signal drift caused by multi-unit different grounding potentials, adapt to high-humidity workshop cabinet environment via coated circuit.

  2. Thermal Power Generation Industry

    Boiler feed water valve, steam turbine steam regulating actuator signal isolation, prevent lightning surge and high-frequency frequency converter interference from damaging DCS AO cards.

  3. Oil & Gas Industry

    Pipeline pressure regulating valves, tank area liquid level control actuators signal conditioning, improve signal stability of long-distance field wiring.

  4. General Process Control

    Water treatment, pharmaceutical plant analog output control loop anti-interference transformation, upgrade original unisolated AO circuits for stable closed-loop PID regulation.
