PR181 module in DIN rail enclosure, front three-quarter view

Low-side PWM to 0-10 V signal conditioner, isolated, with display

Article number PR181-X074

The PR181-X074 converts a low-side switched PWM signal into a 0-10 V voltage, at a PWM frequency of 100 Hz to 5 kHz. The output is galvanically isolated from the input and the supply to prevent ground loops. Lower and upper limits of input and output are set independently on the display, as is the rise and fall rate of the output. As delivered, 0 % duty cycle gives 0 V and 100 % duty cycle gives 10 V.

Supply 9 to 30 V DC
Input PWM, low-side switched, on terminal 3
Output 0-10 V; lower and upper limit adjustable

Setup

Connect the module according to the terminal table and switch on the supply.
Set the input to its lowest level, for example 0 % duty cycle. In the menu, select IN1 – Set minimum, press OK, select YES and press OK again.
Set the input to its highest level, for example 100 % duty cycle. Select IN1 – Set maximum, press OK, select YES and press OK again.
Set the lower limit of the output with OUT1 minimum adj: change the value with UP and DOWN and confirm with OK.
Set the upper limit of the output in the same way with OUT1 maximum adj.
If required, set the rise and fall rate of the output with IN1 Ramp-Up and IN1 Ramp-Down.
Fine adjustment: IN1 minimum adj and IN1 maximum adj fine-tune the input limits. Setting OUT1 invert to 1 reverses the output: the lowest input level then gives the highest output level.
Go to the SAVE menu to store the new settings.

Application

Connecting a low-side switched PWM signal to a 0-10 V input, with galvanic isolation to prevent ground loops
Driving motors, pumps, valves and hydraulics smoothly with the adjustable rise and fall rate

PR181 series: signal conditioners with display

The modules in the PR181 series are set up on the display on the module, using the UP, DOWN and OK buttons. On most versions the lower and upper limits of input and output are set independently, as is the rise and fall rate of the output; the settings of each module are listed on the product page under Setup. With an adjustable rise and fall rate, motors, pumps, valves and hydraulics can be driven smoothly. On versions with an analogue output, that output is galvanically isolated from input and supply to prevent ground loops. New settings are stored through the SAVE menu. The standard DIN rail enclosure measures 45 x 83 mm (board 42.6 x 72 mm); versions with more terminals are wider. Most modules run on 9 to 30 V DC at -25 to 55 °C, non-condensing.

For some conversions there is also a version without display and without galvanic isolation in the PR100 series: it is set up with push buttons and runs on 12 and 24 V DC (operating range 11 to 30 V DC). Where one exists, it is listed on the product page under Other version.
