A “current to pressure” converter
(I/P) converts an analog signal
(4 to 20 mA) to a proportional linear
pneumatic output (3 to 15 psig). Its
purpose is to translate the analog
output from a control system into
a precise, repeatable pressure
value to control pneumatic
actuators/operators, pneumatic
valves, dampers, vanes, etc.
The IP210 is a loop-powered
instrument, which eliminates the
need for an external power supply
(except for IP210-X120).
Principle of Operation
OMEGA’s IP210 converts an analog
signal (4 to 20 mA) to a proportional
linear pneumatic output (3 to 15 psig).
Its uncomplicated design and proven
electromagnetic force balance
deliver consistently high performance.
IP210-X15, $535,
shown actual size.
The IP210 provides a reliable,
repeatable, accurate means of
converting an electrical signal into
pneumatic pressure. Its force
balance principle is a coil suspended
in a magnetic field on a flexible
mount. At the lower end of the coil is
a flapper valve that operates against
a precision ground nozzle to create
a backpressure on the servo
diaphragm of a booster relay.
The input current flows in the coil
and produces a force between the
coil and the flapper valve, which
controls the servo pressure and the
output pressure.
Zero adjustment of the unit is made
by turning a screw that regulates the
distance between the flapper valve
and the air nozzle. Span adjustment

is made by varying a potentiometer,
which shunts input current past the
coil. An integral volume flow booster
provides adequate flow capacity,
resulting in fast response time and
accurate control.
