PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The 7B Series of signal conditioners feature small size, low cost
and a wide output voltage range for a variety of applications
including process control and factory-floor environments. The
single-channel 7B modules accept inputs from a range of
transducers and are fully rated over the extended -40
o
C to
+85
o
C industrial temperature range. All 7B Series modules are
rated for a nominal power supply input of +24 VDC; and, for
maximum flexibility, they will accept supply voltages in the +14
VDC to +35 VDC range. The input modules, with the exception
of the 7B21, provide a high-level output voltage that is factory
configured for either the +1 V to +5 V or 0 V to +10 V range.
The 7B21 is a unity gain, isolated input module with an
input/output range of +10V. Output modules are available that
provide either isolated process current or isolated bipolar
voltage output. Model 7B39 converts either a +1 V to +5 V input
to a 4 to 20 mA output or a 0 V to +10 V input to a 0-20 mA
output. The input/output ranges of the 7B39 are factory
configured. The 7B22 is a unity gain module that provides an
isolated +10V output signal. All modules have a universal pin-
out and may be readily hot-swapped under full power without
disrupting field wiring. Each module accepts analog transducer
signals and transfers them to a process control or factory data
collection system without the inherent noise, non-linearity, drift
and extraneous voltages which frequently accompany the
signals.
The modules feature a maximum nonlinearity of +0.02% and
are factory calibrated to guarantee a maximum accuracy
specification of +0.1%.
The 7B Series offers up to 1500 V rms continuous common
mode voltage isolation and 120 V rms of field wiring input
protection. The power supplies necessary to drive each of the
individual module’s input circuitry are internally isolated,
enabling the 7B Series modules to offer true channel-to-channel
isolation of the input signals.
The modules directly accept analog signals from
thermocouples, RTDs, current loop powered transmitters, and
other process control signals. The 7B Series modules amplify,
linearize, isolate, protect and convert the transducer output
signals to standardized analog inputs for high-level analog I/O
subsystems. The 7B Series Subsystem consists of 19-inch rack-
compatible hardware (model AC 1363), with universal
mounting backplane and a family of plug-in (up to 16 per
backplane) input and output signal conditioning modules. Four-
, eight-, and sixteen-channel backplanes are available. Each
backplane incorporates screw terminals for easy power
connections and field wiring, and includes a 25-pin D-type
connector for interfacing the high-level single-ended voltage
outputs to the user’s equipment. Gold-plated sockets are
provided on each channel of the backplane to ensure the
reliability of each module’s electrical connection.

7B40
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The 7B40 is a single-channel signal conditioning module that
interfaces, amplifies and filters unipolar and bipolar millivolt
and voltage inputs and provides a protected precision output of
either +1 V to +5 V or 0 V to +10 V. Model 7B40 features a
nonlinearity of +0.02% maximum and an accuracy of +0.1%
maximum (+0.01% typical). To accurately measure low level
signals in electrically noisy environments, 1500 V rms of
galvanic transformer-based isolation with a common mode
rejection (CMR) of 110 dB @50/60 Hz and a normal mode
rejection (NMR) of 100 dB @50/60 Hz are provided. Rated to
operate with a nominal +24 VDC supply, Model 7B40 is mix-
and-match and hot-swappable with other 7B Series input
modules, so it can be inserted or removed from any socket in
the same backplane without disturbing system power.
The floating differential input of Model 7B40 is fully protected
up to 240 V rms line voltage. A one-pole 10 KHz filter
preconditions the input signal prior to amplification by a low
drift input amplifier. Amplitude modulation is used to
implement transformer isolation (1500 V rms input-to-output
and power). Isolated front-end circuitry power is supplied by a
DC/DC converter. The output section contains a four-pole low
pass filter (-3 dB @ 10KHz), a buffer amplifier and a power
oscillator. The four-pole output filter and subsequent buffer
ensures that a low noise, low impedance (<1Ω) signal is
available at the output to drive loads of 2 kΩ minimum.

ESD CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily accumulate on the human
body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although this product features proprietary ESD
protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on devices subjected to high energy electrostatic discharges.
Therefore, proper ESD precautions are recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality.
