MODULE ISOLATION

IAMA modules feature “3-Way” Signal Isolation. The 3-Way isolation is a

combination of optical and transformer isolation. The optical isolation provides
common mode voltage (CMV) isolation up to 1.5 kV between the sensor input
and the process signal output. The IAMA’s power is isolated from the sensor
signal input and the process signal output by a DC/DC transformer isolation
circuit.

OVERVIEW

The IAMA3535 continuously monitors a voltage or current input and

provides a linearly proportional voltage or current output, while the IAMA6262
transmits the scaled square root of the input signal. This allows the IAMA6262
to provide a signal that is linear to flow rate in applications utilizing a
differential pressure transducer. Both units have two modes of operation known
as Factory and Field modes. Factory mode is used when the default input and
output ranges are suitable. Field mode can be independently selected for both
the input and output, and allows the user to custom calibrate, or scale the signal.
If Factory mode is selected, the IAMAs use factory presets for the selected input
or output range. If Field mode is selected, the IAMAs can be custom scaled
within a selected input or output range. Field mode also allows the IAMA to
reverse its output in relation to its input.

The units are factory precalibrated for minimum and full scale for all input

and output ranges. The factory calibration values are permanently stored in
E

2

PROM and should not be changed in the field, unless unacceptable error or a

factory checksum error occurs. See Factory Recalibration for details. Field
scaling is achieved by applying minimum and full scale values from a
calibration source and storing the values by a single DIP switch transition. Field
scaling is available for all input and output ranges and the values are
permanently stored in E

2

PROM until reprogramming occurs.

After field scaling, the IAMAs can be changed between Factory and Field

modes for a particular range, which restores the respective setting. The Factory
and Field E

2

PROM locations contain the same calibration values when the

IAMA is received from the factory. Therefore, until the IAMA is field scaled,
factory and field modes perform identically. See SCALING PROCEDURE for
detailed instructions on field programming the IAMA.

The units can be scaled to any minimum scale and full scale values within the

extent of the selected range. The closer together the minimum and full scale
values are to each other, the less accurate the signal will be. For example, if the
0 to 1 V input range is selected, and the unit is scaled for 0 to 0.5 V, the signal
has the same resolution as the 0 to 1 V range. Since this resolution will be two
times the percentage of span for 0.5 V, more accuracy can be achieved by using
the 0 to 0.5 V range.

The input may exceed the full scale value for the selected range by 10% of

span, but the IAMA will not update the output beyond 10% over range.

The red and green LED’s indicate the status of the modules during scaling and

normal operation. Table 1, LED Indications, details the LED indications for
various unit conditions.

The IAMA – Signal Conditioning Module Series is designed for use in

industrial environments. Suppressor diodes protect both input and output
circuits from wiring errors and transient high voltage conditions.

INPUTS

The IAMAs accept a full range of process signal inputs and isolate and

convert these signals to common industrial control signals. The input signal
combinations are configured by making specific DIP switch selections on the 10
position DIP switch.

OUTPUTS

As with the input choices, the process signal output of the modules is DIP

switch selectable. A 1 position DIP switch is used to select between the 1 mA/20
mA output ranges. The maximum output current signal is 22 mA with 

600 

output resistance and the maximum output voltage signal is 11 V with 

1 K

output resistance.

ZERO AND SPAN

The input zero and span are set by first applying the minimum value then

transitioning S1-2 to store that value. Next, the full scale value is applied and the
DIP switch transition stores the value. The output scaling is performed in a
similar manner but the output is driven to the desired minimum and full scale
values by the calibration source applied to the input. S1-1 is used to store the
minimum and full scale output values.

The span is defined by: span = (full scale - minimum scale).

ILLEGAL RANGE SELECTIONS AND CHANGES

The ranges should only be selected before power is applied. If an invalid input

or output range is selected when power is applied the output is set to approximately
0 VDC and the red LED indicates the error according to Table 1. Power must be
removed and valid ranges selected for the IAMA to operate properly.

If S1 switches 3 through 10 are changed while the IAMA is operating, the red

LED indicates a range change according to Table 1, LED Indications and the
output goes to the previously stored range minimum scale value. Normal
operation will be resumed if the switches are placed back in the previous
positions or power is removed and restored.
