LUTZE Converters

Product catalog summary
Introduction
LÜTZE is a company specializing in automation technology, focusing on creating efficient and sustainable products. Their philosophy prioritizes long-term success and integrates both economic and environmental responsibilities.
Product Overview
The document discusses various LÜTZE products such as LCIS Signal Converters, Microcompact Converters, and Monitoring Relays, all designed to enhance automation efficiency and sustainability.
Converters
Converters are essential for tasks like signal conversion, amplification, isolation, and filtering. They manage input signals such as voltages, currents, and frequencies, converting them into desired outputs. The document emphasizes the importance of signal isolation and filtering to prevent interference.
Standard Signals
In process automation, standard signals include current signals (0 to 20 mA, 4 to 20 mA) and voltage signals (0 to 10 V, 2 to 10 V). Current signals are preferred due to their resistance to electromagnetic interference.
Technical Information
The document provides technical details on aspects like input protection, input resistance, voltage drop, true RMS measurement, zero/span balance, and load impedance, highlighting the importance of accurate signal transmission.
Interference and Isolation
Electromagnetic interference and potential differences can affect signal transmission. LÜTZE converters use isolation techniques, such as active isolation and 3-way disconnection, to ensure reliable signal transmission.
Conclusion
LÜTZE's products and solutions reflect their commitment to quality, innovation, and efficiency, aiming to improve energy efficiency and sustainability in automation technology.
Isolation Methods
  • 2-way Output Isolation: Electrically isolates the output from the input and supply, protecting input-connected equipment from interference and providing an amplified filtered output signal.
  • 2-way Supply Isolation: Provides additional supply at the input for passive sensors, protecting output-connected equipment from interference and offering auxiliary power with an amplified filtered output signal.
  • Passive Isolation: Draws power from the input circuit, causing a minor voltage drop, and transmits unipolar current signals at a 1:1 ratio, isolating earth loops and filtering signals.
FDT Technology
  • Overview: FDT standardizes the communication and configuration interface between field devices and host systems, facilitating device configuration, operation, and maintenance.
  • DTM (Device Type Manager): DTMs are classified into Device DTMs for field device configuration and CommDTMs for software communication components, providing a unified structure for accessing device parameters and diagnosing problems.
  • FDT Frame Application: This software program implements Device DTMs and CommDTMs, offering a common environment for user management, DTM management, data management, network configuration, and navigation.
Product Features
  • Microcompact Signal Converter: Features include a compact design, wide temperature range (-25 to +70°C), fast response time (up to 1ms), high load impedance, safety isolation, and easy installation.
  • Advanced Technology: Parametrization via FDT software supports engineering, management, and life cycle support in automation applications, with worldwide approvals for global use.
  • Quality and Termination: LÜTZE signal converters meet quality standards with options for screw or spring termination.

Isolation Techniques Passive Isolation suppled on the nput side 400 Q to 750 Q. The values for voltage outputs are in the range from 1 kQ to 10 kQ. Wire break and short-circuit As already described under "Standard signals", a wire break can be detected by way of a live-zero signal. In monitoring of connected sensors (such as temperature), monitoring for wire break or short-circuit is effected by an internal electronics unit. Such faults can be indicated in different ways: •LED • Defined output signal • Separate output Linearity error Linearity error refers to a deviation from the ideal transmission...

Signal Isolation Transformers · Basics The input, output and supply - and thus also all equipment connected to them - are mutually electrically isolated. In this way the input and output circuits are decoupled from the supply and the input and output circuits are decoupled from each other. The input signals must be active signals. The output signal is an amplified filtered signal. Figure: 2-way supply isolation 2-way isolation: Input isolation In this form of isolation the input is electrical isolated from the output and the supply, which are both connected to the same potential. By this isolation...
