From Phoneix Contact, the DIN-Rail mounted slim MINI MCR-SL-R-UI resistance transducer converts potentiometer positions as a percentage to an analogue standard signal. If the potentiometer range cannot be utilized to the full, an externally accessible slide switch is used to set the upper and lower potiposition end values. The output signal between 0 and 100% is based on this fixed end value.

• Power supply possible via the foot element (TBUS)
• Automatic potentiometer detection without manual adjustment
• Error indication via diagnostic LED and analog signal
• For 100 Ω to 100 kΩ potentiometers
• Configurable measuring range and output signals
• Highly-compact potentiometer transducer for electrical isolation, conversion, amplification, and filtering
• Input and output signals can be configured via DIP switches
• 3-way isolation

Use this signal converter from Phoenix Contact to read potentiometer positions as percentages of standard analogue values. The transducer converts input signals to a more readable format for instrumentation and monitoring purposes. It's a versatile option that measures potentiometer resistance ranges from 100Ω to 100kΩ. It can also be adjusted to increase or decrease its measuring range and output signal via a dual in-line package (DIP) switch to fit your design specifications.
This component has a polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) housing that's durable and impact-resistant, so you can use it in harsh environments. It's also energy efficient as it needs just 500mW (milliwatts) of power to function. You can mount it in any position and its compact dimensions, with a width of just 6.2mm, make it suitable for setups with limited space.

• DIN rail mounting is easy and doesn't require tools, saving time and effort
• Wide operating temperature range of -20°C and +65°C for use in demanding industrial environments
• IP20 (ingress protection) rating indicates protection from dust and objects larger than 12mm
