The LTS serial data input, analog output transmitter accepts streaming RS232 or RS485 serial data ASCII strings from an external device, like a scale, at rates up to 9600 baud. It converts this data to an isolated, scalable 4-20 mA, 0-20 mA, 0-10V or -10V to +10V analog output. Two solid state relays are standard and can respond to readings or to received control characters. The LTS also accepts serial commands via the Modbus RTU or Laurel Custom ASCII protocols to set the analog output or relay state. The unit is housed in a transmitter case which is only 22.5 mm (0.89") thick and fits on a 35 mm DIN rail. Depending on the model, it can be powered by AC (85-264 Vac) or DC (10-48 Vdc).
Standard LTS features include:
Programmable Streaming Input Modes
Six data conversion modes are user selectable to receive and process streaming data. The number of characters to be processed can be up to 7, including 6 digits and a decimal point. Include leading zeros, like 00300.0. The LTS is not plug and play. The format of the strings being received must be known in advance, including non-printing control characters. If you do not know the string format, contact tech support of the sending device's manufacturer, or use a terminal emulator program like HyperTerminal, PuTTY or RealTerm to view the actual transmitted characters.
Programmable Command Modes
A Master, which can be a PC, PLC or other programmable device, can send digital values to an LTS transmitter to cause it to output specifc analog signals and actuate alarms. Ether the Modbus RTU protocol or Laurel's simpler Customer ASCII protocol can be used for commands. Both support digital addressing.
