A signal conditioner is a device that changes or boosts the signal between the controller and the field device to make sure the communication works properly. A common application for signal conditioners is when you have a mV input from a thermocouple going into a
4 mA … 20 mA input card. A signal conditioner converts the mV signal into a 4 mA … 20 mA signal. In this blog, we will discuss 6 signal conditioners that all engineers should be aware of.
In this post, we will discuss the difference between lightning and surge, briefly cover the lightning and surge protection standard, and finally show a couple of Pepperl+Fuchs options for surge protection devices (SPD).

Discrete input signals send an "on" or "off" signal from devices such as a pushbutton, switch, or contact. When the application requires an intrinsically safe circuit, the typical circuit consists of a field device, an intrinsic safety barrier, and a controller (DCS or PLC).
