Signal filtering is accomplished with a six-pole filter which provides 95dB of

Input signal connections to the SCMVAS-Mnnn attenuator module are made
using a pluggable terminal block for ease of system assembly and reconfiguration.
For safety purposes, the terminal block has a cover over the screws and there
are no other exposed high-voltage points on the SCMVAS-Mnnn series mod-
ules, SCM5B30-07 or SCM5B40-07 module, or the mounting backpanel.
The SCMVAS system has two specially designed backpanels for mounting the
attenuator and signal conditioning modules. The SCMVAS-PB8 high density, 8-
channel backpanel (Figures 2, 3) can be panel mounted or DIN rail mounted and
provides the conditioned output signal on screw terminal blocks. Jumpers are
provided on each channel to optionally connect or isolate each module’s I/O
Common from other channel’s I/O Common and/or Power Common. The
SCMVAS-PB16 (Figures 4, 5) has 16 channels of analog I/O simultaneously
available to high-speed data acquisition (ADC) boards through a 26-conductor
ribbon cable. Refer to the SCMPB01 Data Sheet in this catalog and Application
Note AN502 at www.dataforth.com for recommended ground connections and
host system interfaces. Both the SCMVAS-PB8 and SCMVAS-PB16 backpanels
can be mounted on the SCMXRK-002 19-inch metal rack.

characters for easy troubleshooting and interpretation of data values.
Digital Inputs/Outputs
D170 digital input/output modules contain open-collector transistor switches
that may be controlled by the host processors. These switches may be used to
control solid-state relays which in turn may control heaters, pumps and other
power equipment. The digital inputs may be read by the host processor and used
to sense the state of remote digital signals. They are ideal for sensing the state
of limit or safety switches.
Digital Filter
The D100 analog input modules include two unique programmable single pole
digital filters. The filter is used to smooth analog data in noisy environments.
Separate time constants may be specified for small and large signal changes.
Typically a large time constant is specified for small signal changes to filter out
noise and provide stable output readings. A smaller time constant may be
chosen for large signal changes to provide fast response to such changes. Figure 1: SCM9B-D100 Block Diagram

Description
Dataforth’s new DSCT series of loop powered 2-wire transmitters consists of
seven family groups with a total of 48 transmitter models that interface to a wide
variety of voltage, current, temperature and position measuring devices. The
DSCT is the latest introduction of Instrument Class® products available from
Dataforth, which provide superior specifications such as ±0.03% accuracy, five
poles of filtering, 1500Vrms continuous isolation, low output noise, and much
more.
The DSCT 2-wire transmitter conditions and sends analog signals from sensors
located in the “field” to monitoring and control equipment, usually computers,
located thousands of feet away in central control areas. The DSCT accepts a
wide range of inputs, including millivolt, volt, milliamp, thermocouple, RTD,
potentiometer, and slide wire. It operates on power from a 2-wire signal loop and
modulates the supply current to represent the input signal within a 4 to 20-
milliamp range.
Two-wire transmission loops are very economical methods for connecting
sensors to distant control rooms. Since the DSCT operates from the signal loop
current, no additional, expensive power and wiring are required. Only low cost,
twisted pair wiring is needed.

DSCT Loop Drive Capability

The DSCT Transmitter’s wide range of Loop Supply Volt-

age (10.8V to 60V) makes it a versatile device which can be
used in most any current loop. The maximum loop resis-
tance is determined by subtracting the transmitter’s minimum
loop supply voltage from the total loop supply voltage and
dividing the result by the maximum loop current (see graph).
The low Loop Supply Voltage of 10.8V allows the DSCT to
be used in applications with low output power supplies and
the high Loop Supply Voltage of 60V allows use in applica-
tions with long distance current loops.
