Product Description

The FLKM50-PA-AB/1756/IN/EXTC is a signal conditioning module from Phoenix Contact, part of the FLKM series. This module is designed for industrial applications where signal conditioning, isolation, and conversion between different signal types are needed. The module typically integrates with control systems such as PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers) and provides signal processing for various sensor inputs. The module is particularly suitable for applications requiring high accuracy, reliability, and robust communication in challenging environments.

Technical Specifications

• Input Types:
• Analog Voltage Inputs: Supports input voltages, typically in the range of 0 to 10 V DC or ±10 V DC.
