Direct Interface to Sensors
and Analog Voltage and
Current
U Convenient Connection to
User Equipment
The OM5 Series modular signal
conditioners provide a low cost,
high performance method of interconnecting real-world analog signals
with data acquisition, monitoring or
control systems.
They are designed to interface
directly to analog inputs such as
thermocouples, RTDs, strain gages
and voltage or process current
signals. Individual OM5 modules
convert these inputs to standardized
analog outputs compatible with
high-level analog I/O systems. An
output module converts a high-level
analog output to a process
current signal.
Shown with 16-channel
backplane (sold separately).
The OM5 is designed to provide
easy and convenient solutions
to signal conditioning problems
of both designers and end users
in measurement and control
applications.
Typical uses include mini- and
microcomputer-based measurement
systems, standard data acquisition
systems, recorders, and dedicated
control systems.
The OM5 is ideally suited to
applications where monitoring
and control of temperature,
pressure, flow and other analog
signals is required.
Isolated Voltage Input
Models
Designed for either low-level
millivolt or high level voltage inputs,
these modules can accept from
±10 mV to ±10V full scale input,
with either a 0 to 5V or ±5V output.
Standard modules have a 4 Hz
bandwidth, while for interfacing
to dynamic signals, the OM5-WV
and OM5-WMV modules feature a
10 kHz bandwidth.
A/IN
A/OUT
Current Input Models
These modules accept process
current signals. A sensing resistor
of 20 Ω is used to convert the signal
current to a voltage. The resistor is
installed as a separate assembly, to
facilitate replacement in the event of
inadvertent connection of the power
line.
Thermocouple Input Models
The isolated thermocouple
models incorporate cold junction
compensation circuitry which
provides 0.5°C accuracy. Open
sensor detection is standard.
RTD Input Models
The OM5-IP, OM5-IC and OM5-IN
designed for 100Ω PT, 10Ω Cu and
120Ω Ni RTDs respectively. The
modules have 3 wire compensation
and may be used with 2- or 3-wire
RTDs. The OM5-IP4 features 4-wire
compensation for 100Ω PT RTDs.

Strain Gage Input Models
Designed for 300 to 10 KΩ full or
half strain gage bridge for dynamic
signals. Bandwidth is 10 kHz. Integral
10V excitation is also provided.
Output Models
Isolated modules that accept process
voltage inputs from the system
connector and provide an isolated
process current signal as output.
Potentiometer Input Models
For use with 3-wire potentiometers
and 2-wire slidewire with up to
10 KΩ resistance. The input signal
is filtered, isolated and amplified to a
high level analog output voltage.
Excitation is provided by two
matched current sources which
cancels lead resistance effects in
3-wire potentiometers. The excitation
current is small (less than 1.0 mA) to
minimize self-heating error.
Displacement Transducer
Input Modules
The displacement transducer
input modules can interface to DC
displacement transducers and other
devices which require a precision
excitation voltage. The transducer
excitation is provided from the
module by a stable isolated
10V source.
The OM5-BP-16 is a 16-position
Two-Wire Transmitter
Interface Modules
The OM5-TX are ideal for
connecting to 2-wire loop power
transmitters. The modules accept
4 to 20 mA process current input
and provide an isolated output
voltage. The module features an
isolated 20 Vdc regulated power
supply to provide power to the
transmitter. A precision 20 Ω current
conversion resistor is supplied with
each module.
SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
The OM5 system is fully modular,
for maximum user flexibility. When
designing a system, in addition to
selecting input and output modules,
both a backplane and power supply
are required.
plane with pinouts on system
connector that are compatible with
the OM3 system; this allows an OM5
to interface to plug-in cards for IBM
PCs. Also available for single channel
applications is the OM5-BP-SKT single
channel backplane.
Two power supplies are available for
OM5 systems. The OMX-955 has 1A
capacity, and can be used with up to
16 input modules. For systems with
larger requirements, the OMX-976
has 3A capacity, and can drive a full
complement of 16 output modules.
The OMX-1315 cable mates directly
to the OM5-BP-16, and may be
connected to the OMX-1324 adaptor.
The OMX-1324 provides screw
terminations for the high level voltage
output from the system connector.
