73LD4

PC104 LVDT/RVDT Measurement Board

NAI’s 73LD4 is a PC104-compliant LVDT/RVDT Measurement Board with six separate transformer-isolated channels. The channels can incorporate up to six programmable LVDT/RVDT-to-Digital Tracking Converters in a stack-through module. Each channel is programmable for 2-, 3-, or 4-wire inputs that automatically range between 2.0 volts and 28 volts, so there is no need to purchase multiple boards set for specific inputs. Operating frequency between 360 Hz and 10 kHz can be specified. Each channel also produces differential incremental encoder (A & B) outputs with programmable resolution and a zero-degree marker pulse.

Standard features include 16 TTL Digital I/O, Background Built-In-Test (BIT) for continuous checking and reporting on the health of each channel, and extensive diagnostics. Specifically designed for rugged defense, commercial aerospace, and industrial applications, the 73LD4 supports an optional reference supply. Requires forced air cooling.
