Field-Configurable Signal Converter/Isolator

FCT

Data Sheet 2.05

Description
Moore Industries 4-wire FCT can be used as a signal isolator, converter, and/or repeater. Compact, yet highly versatile, the FCT features field-configurable input and output parameters, and universal power input. The FCT is the ideal plant standard. IsolatorThe FCT provides total isolation between the signal from a non-isolated signal transmitter and a receiving device. This eliminates faulty readings in process measurement and control equipment caused by ground loops, electrical interference, or motor noise. ConverterThe FCTs wide range of input and output choices allows it to act as a precise interface between transmitters, transducers, controllers and control systems with dissimilar signals. RepeaterThe FCT can be used to increase (boost) drive capability to a process loop to allow installation of additional instruments on the loop. The FCT also is excellent for splitting a secondary signal from a process loop to a recorder, indicator or other similar device.

The universal mounting clip of the DIN-style FCT allows quick installation on a G-type or Top Hat rail in a control room or in a field-mounted cabinet.

Features Ordering Specifications


To order, use the bold face data from the Ordering Specifications section of the Specifications table on page 2. For assistance, refer to the model number example located at the bottom of the table. Configurable inputs and outputs. Universal FCTs can be easily field-configured to accommodate all common input and output signal types (420mA, 1-5V, 0-10V, etc.) Universal power input. The FCT automatically accepts all ac (90-260Vac) and dc (22-300Vdc) power supply inputs. No adjustments, such as jumper changes, are required. Unusual inputs and outputs. A wide range of non-standard input/outputs types are offered for applications with uncommon interface requirements. Complete input/output/power isolation. Exceptional signal isolation of 1000Vrms stops ground loops from affecting the integrity of a transmitted process signal. Powers a 2-wire transmitter. Transmitter excitation is standard on all universal (PRG) input/output FCTs. RFI/EMI protection. Inherent 10V/m RFI/EMI immunity protects the FCT in most applications. For especially noisy environments, choose the -RF option, which provides 30V/m protection.

Field-Selectable Inputs and Outputs with Universal Power


Its easy to specify the right FCT. One field-configurable, universal model handles the majority of isolating, converting, repeating, and splitting applications. The FCT quickly sets up to accommodate all

common current and voltage signal types (specify PRG input/output). Standardize on the FCT and avoid having to stock an array of expensive and restrictive fixed-parameter units. Adding to its flexibility, the FCT automatically adjusts to accept any standard ac or dc power supply.
