USB Converter

Overview

USB-506A is an isolated converter that connects to a PC or other device via USB and measures the 4-20 mA current. By isolating the USB side from the 4-20 mA side, stable measurement can be achieved through improved noise immunity and suppression of transient phenomena. In addition, the isolation provides robust protection for connected equipment.

USB-506A includes a built-in isolated power supply for powering 4-20 mA output devices and sensors, and either 24 VDC or 5 VDC can be used.
By using the dedicated application, USB-506 CV-Monitor, real-time display of measured data, scaling values, and graphs is available on a PC.
Dedicated control commands are also provided, enabling 4-20 mA measurement from user applications.
