Each DSCA32 current input module provides a single channel of analog input which is filtered, isolated, amplified, and converted to a high level voltage output. Signal filtering is accomplished with a five-pole filter which which is optimized for step response. An anti-aliasing pole is located on the field side of the isolation barrier, and the other four poles are on the system side. After the initial field-side filtering, the input signal is chopped by a proprietary chopper circuit. Isolation is provided by transformer coupling, again using a proprietary technique to suppress transmission of common mode spikes or surges.
