DRG-SC-DC
DC Input Field Configurable Isolator

Instruction Sheet M2394/0796

DESCRIPTION

The DRG-SC-DC is a DIN rail mount,
DC input signal conditioner with
1800VDC isolation between input,
output and power. The field
configurable input and output offers
flexible, wide ranging capability for
DC current and voltage signals.

The input of the DRG-SC-DC can be
configured for any one of 12 voltage
ranges from 10mV to 100V or 6 cur­rent ranges from 1mA to 100mA (see
table 1). The output is linear to the
input and can be set for either 0-5V,
0-10V, 0-1mA, 0-20mA or 4-20mA
(for model DRG-SC-DC-U) and -5 to
+5V or -10 to +10V (for model
DRG-SC-DC-B).

Wide ranging, precision zero and
span pots allow 50% adjustability of
offset and span turn-down within each
of the 18 switch selectable ranges.
For example, the 0-2mA input range
could be turned down to 0-1mA and
provide a full scale output signal (e.g.
4-20mA), or turned down and offset to
achieve a 1-2mA/4-20mA I/O combi­nation.

The DRG-SC-DC accepts bipolar in­puts (e.g. 10V range set to bipolar =

-10 to +10V) and offers selectable
normal, or reverse operation (e.g. 4­20mA/20-4mA). The ASIC based
I/O channel is optically isolated to
1800VDC and is transformer isolated
from the power supply.

APPLICATION

The DRG-SC-DC field configurable
isolator is useful in eliminating ground
loops, converting signal levels, and
providing signal drive. The field
configurable, wide ranging capability
ensures maximum flexibility for most
DC to DC applications, minimizing
spare part requirements.

DIAGNOSTIC LED

The DRG-SC-DC is equipped with a
dual function LED signal monitor.
The green, front mounted LED indi­cates both DC power and input signal
status. Active DC power is indicated
by an illuminated LED. If the input
signal is more than 110% of the full
scale range, the LED will flash at 8Hz.
Below -10%, the flash rate is 4Hz.

CONFIGURATION

A major advantage of the
DRG-SC-DC is its wide ranging ca­pability and ease of configuration.
The DRG-SC-DC has 18 input range
settings. Trim potentiometers allow
50% input zero and span adjustability
within each of the 18 full scale input
ranges.

Unless otherwise specified, the fac­tory presets Model DRG-SC-DC-U
and DRG-SC-DC-B as follows:

DRG-SC-DC-U
Input Range: 4-20mA
Output Range:4-20mA

DRG-SC-DC-B
Input Range: 4-20mA
Output Range: -10 to +10V

The DC power input accepts any
source between 9 and 30V; typically
a 12V or 24VDC source is used.

Redundant (parallel) power terminals
are provided as a wiring convenience.
When multiple units are powered
from the same source, power can be
connected from one unit to the next,
in parallel strings of up to 24 units (5
Amps maximum).

WARNING! Do not attempt to
change any switch settings with
power applied. Severe damage will
result!

Figure 1: DRG-SC-DC block diagram.

Refer to Tables 1 through 5 for the
proper switch settings. Use the
switches on SW3 to select the input
type (voltage or current), SW1 to
select the desired input range and
function setting and SW2 to select the
desired type of output.

CALIBRATION

1. After configuring the dip switches,
connect the input to a calibrated DC
source. Connect the output to the
actual device load (or a load approxi­mately equivalent to the actual device
load value) and apply power.

Note: To maximize thermal stability, final
calibration should be performed in the
operating installation, allowing approxi­mately 1 to 2 hours for warm up and
thermal equilibrium of the system.

2. Set the calibrator to the desired
minimum input and adjust the zero
potentiometer for the desired mini­mum output.

3. Set the calibrator to the desired
maximum input and adjust the span
potentiometer for the desired maxi­mum output.

4. Repeat steps 2 and 3, as
necessary, for best accuracy.

Note1: All DRG series modues are designed and tested to operate in ambient temperatures from 0 to 55°C, when mounted on a horizontal DIN rail. When five
or more modules are mounted on a vertical rail, circulating air or model DRG-HS01 Heat Sink is recommended.
