The 5B Series represents an innovative generation of low cost, high performance plug-in signal conditioners. Designed for industrial applications, these modules incorporate highly reliable transformer-based isolation and automated surface-mount manufacturing technology.
The 5B45 and 5B46 are single‑channel isolated frequency‑input modules that generate a 0‑to‑+5 V output proportional to the input frequency. Model 5B45 handles 500 Hz – 20 kHz, while model 5B46 covers 20 kHz – 275 kHz. Both modules provide 1500 V rms isolation, +0.05 % calibrated accuracy, and can be hot‑swapped without disturbing system power.
These modules are compact (2.27" × 2.32" × 0.595"), potted, and feature interchangeable pin‑outs. They include built‑in protection for 240 V rms input, selectable threshold and hysteresis settings, and are approved for hazardous locations (FM, CSA) and EU EMC directives.
