Signal conditioners, also known as signal converters or signal transmitters, are electronic devices used in instrumentation and control systems to modify and optimize electrical signals from sensors or transducers. They are typically employed to improve the quality, compatibility, or transmission of signals to ensure accurate and reliable measurements.

​

The primary function of a signal conditioner is to convert, amplify, filter, isolate, or linearize the incoming electrical signal from a sensor or transducer. These devices can modify the signal in various ways to make it suitable for further processing, transmission, or integration into a control system.

​

Signal conditioners can perform a range of functions depending on the specific requirements of the application. Some common functions include:

1. Signal Conversion: Signal conditioners can convert one type of electrical signal to another, such as converting a current signal to a voltage signal or vice versa.

​

2. Signal Amplification: They can amplify weak electrical signals to a level that is suitable for measurement or control purposes.

​

3. Signal Filtering: Signal conditioners can remove noise, interference, or unwanted frequencies from the signal, enhancing its quality and reliability.

​

4. Signal Isolation: They provide electrical isolation between the input and output signals to prevent noise, ground loops, or interference from affecting the measurement or control system.

​

5. Signal Linearization: In some applications, signal conditioners linearize non-linear sensor signals, ensuring accurate representation of the measured variable.

​

Signal conditioners are widely used in various industries, including manufacturing, process control, automation, and test and measurement. They play a critical role in ensuring accurate and reliable signal transmission, compatibility between devices, and integration with control systems.
