APPLICATION
Measuring transducer MI456 is designed for use in
industrial process for conversion of DC voltage in to
appropriate DC current or DC voltage signal. The analogue
output signal is proportional to the measured value and it is
appropriate for regulation of analogue and digital devices
with reasonable dependence on environmental conditions,
where they are planed to be used.
LAYOUT AND MODE OF OPERATION
Input signal is electrically isolated from the system by
