Analog Devices 3B17 Handbook
The 3B17 is a wide‑bandwidth single‑channel signal‑conditioning module that isolates, amplifies, and filters signals from 4‑, 5‑, or 6‑wire Linear Variable Displacement Transformers (LVDTs) and Rotary Variable Displacement Transformers (RVDTs). It provides an AC excitation voltage of 1 V rms to 5 V rms over a frequency range of 1 kHz to 10 kHz and offers dual high‑level analog outputs (voltage and current).
The module is hot‑swappable, mix‑and‑match compatible with other 3B series modules, and includes input protection up to 130 V rms, +1500 V peak isolation, and accuracy of ±0.1 % of span. Mechanical dimensions are 3.15" × 3.395" × 0.775" and it operates from –28 °C to +85 °C.
