Signal Isolators & Transducers



Non-Intrinsic universal signal converter


Different industrial sensors and process control systems output various signals which may not be compatible with the existing measurement equipment. Because of that it is necessary to convert an input signal into an industrial standard range. Signal converters takes up the signals from field  device and convert them into a standard signal ( e.g.  4-20 mA, 0-10 V etc.). Phoenix Contact offers you a wide range of different universal signal converters with high functionality:

  • dip switch, jumper or pc configuration
  • ground loop isolation
  • noise filtering
  • minimum wiring efforts
  • space saving dimensions



MACX Analog / MCR Analog


Universal analog converters with accurate conversion.

  • dip switch or pc configuration
  • universal system for different applications therefore reducing the amount of part numbers and decreasing the storage costs
  • general galvanic isolation
  • high functionality and flexibility
  • Zone 2, Class I Division 2 approval
  • Ex-i and Non-Ex-i isolators available



MINI Analog


Modular and very small range of analog converters with an innovative power supply concept.
  • slim dimensions, only 6.2 mm wide
  • general galvanic isolation

Intrinsic safe signal isolators & transducers


The protection type "intrinsic safety" (Ex-i) has become established worldwide for MCR technology because of its comparatively simple installation and economical equipment.

Regardless of the measurement and control application, whether system technology or individual applications the intrinsic safe isolators and transducers from Phoenix Contact offers tailor-made, economical solutions to realize your automation task, and contributes to a high availability of the system.




MACX Analog Ex


With a housing design width of only 12.5 mm, the MACX Analog Ex product range provides one of the narrowest Ex-i signal isolator series. Therefore it is possible to save up to 45% space in the control cabinet. The MACX Analog Ex series offer a complete product range for your requirements and control tasks in process industry projects.

  • 1 or 2-channel isolators with 3-way isolation
  • HART functionality
  • NAMUR isolating amplifiers
  • FDT/DTM programmable temperature transducers
  • installation in Ex Zone 2 and for Ex-i circuits up to Ex Zone 0 (gas) and 20 (dust)
  • SIL approvals as per IEC 61508 enable their use in safety applications
