OM5 Compact, Low Cost, Modular
RTD Input Models
The OM5-IP, OM5-IC and OM5-IN
are 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 kohm full or
half strain gage bridge for dynamic
signals. Bandwidth is 10 kHz.
Integral 10 V 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.
Isolated Voltage Input
Models
Designed for either low-level
millivolt or high level voltage inputs,
these modules can accept from
±10 mV to ±10 V full scale input,
with either a 0 to 5 V or ±5 V 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.
Current Input Models
These modules accept process
current signals. A sensing resistor
of 20 ohms 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.
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.
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.

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.
The OM5-BP-16 is a 16-position
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
adapter. The OMX-1324 provides
screw terminations for the high level
voltage output from the system
connector.
Shown with
optional sensors
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 10 V source.
Two-Wire Transmitter
Interface Modules
The OM5-TX are ideal for
connecting to 2-wire loop power
transmitters. The modules accept
4-20 mA process current input and
provide an isolated output voltage.
How to Order
To Assemble a Complete OM5 System, Order:
1. Desired input and output modules
2. Backplane
3. Power Supply: calculate system power requirements
from table on H-80
4. Voltage I/O cables and connectors
5. Rack or Surface Mount Kit
The module features an isolated
20 Vdc regulated power supply to
provide power to the transmitter.
A precision 20 ohm current
conversion resistor is supplied with
each module.
