TMC Signal Conditioner E158 – PCB Rev.A
(Part/SR Number: 023822, by Pole Star SEO)
1. Core Function:
This is a printed circuit board (PCB) designed as a signal conditioner. In industrial and electronic contexts, a signal conditioner takes a raw input signal from a sensor or transducer (like a thermocouple, RTD, pressure sensor, or tachometer) and converts, amplifies, isolates, filters, or linearizes it into a robust, standardized output signal (e.g., 4-20mA, 0-10V, or a digital protocol) that can be reliably used by control systems, PLCs, data loggers, or displays.
2. Key Identifiers:
-
TMC:Â Likely the manufacturer or product line brand. TMC often stands for “Technology Management Corporation” or similar entities in industrial controls.
-
E158:Â The specific model or series designation for this signal conditioner.
-
Printed Circuit Board Rev.A:Â This is Revision A of the board’s design. “Rev.A” indicates the first production version or a specific design iteration.
-
SR 023822: This is the Serial Number (SR) or a unique unit identifier for this specific board. This is crucial for tracking manufacturing batches, calibration, or maintenance history.
-
Pole Star SEO: This is most likely the company that integrated this PCB into a larger system or enclosure. “Pole Star” could be the system manufacturer or integrator, and “SEO” might stand for a product line, project name, or could be “SEO” for Search Engine Optimization (less likely here, possibly a company acronym).
3. Typical Applications:
This board would be used in process control, factory automation, machinery monitoring, or energy management systems where sensor signals need to be made reliable and compatible with control equipment.
4. Physical Description:
As a PCB, it would have:
-
Electronic components (ICs, resistors, capacitors, terminals).
-
Input and output connection points (screw terminals, pin headers, or connectors).
-
Possibly dip switches or potentiometers for configuring input type, range, or output scaling.
-
Mounting holes.
