The API 7580 G accepts a frequency input and provides an optically isolated DC voltage or current output that is linearly related to the input.

The API 7580 G input and output can be field-configured via external rotary and slide switches. Common ranges are on the module label. Many additional combinations are possible. Consult the factory for assistance with special ranges.

Common applications include frequency to DC conversions from frequency output type devices such as rotary encoders, magnetic pick-ups, proximity sensors, variable speed drives, and flow meters. Also a PLC pulse rate can be programmed to vary and converted to an analog signal by the API 7580 G. An 18 VDC power supply is provided to power the sensor input, if required.

Full 3-way isolation (input, output, power) makes this module useful for ground loop elimination, common mode signal rejection or noise pickup reduction.

Output Loop Supply

A built-in 20 VDC power supply provides loop excitation for a milliamp current output.

LoopTracker

API exclusive features include two LoopTracker LEDs (green for input, red for output) that vary in intensity with changes in the process input and output signals. These provide a quick visual picture of your process loop at all times and can greatly aid in saving time during initial startup and/or troubleshooting.

Output Test

An API exclusive feature includes the test button to provide a fixed output (independent of the input) when held depressed. The test output level is potentiometer adjustable from 0 to 100% of output span. The output test button greatly aids in saving time during initial startup and/or troubleshooting.
