MTL signal conditioning With process plants now spread over wide areas and the demand for more information, the transfer of electrical signals present many challenges. High power devices mixed in with low level signal transfer generates an environment which has an adverse effect on the ability to control and measure the processes. Signal conditioning makes a major contribution to resolving issues such as varying grounding potentials, reducing signal noise and eliminating earth loops. It also protects sensitive control equipment from dangerous voltages. Many different signals from sensors such...
