Industrial Charge Amplifier for Applications in Manufacturing
The industrial charge amplifier manufacturing (ICAM) converts
a charge signal into a low-impedance voltage signal. Depending on version, up to four sensors can be connected at the
same time. The ICAM is controlled via digital inputs or the
serial interface.

Description
The charge amplifier Type 5073A... with its sealed metal case is
designed for harsh industrial environments. Depending on version, up to four measuring channels can be accommodated in a
single case. A single-channel version with four summed charge
inputs is also available. With its variable measuring range, acquisition of peak values, programmable offset, programming
interface and excellent technical data, the ICAM is extremely
versatile. The charge input is protected against electrostatic discharge. A differential stage compensates for potential differences between sensor and case ground. Optocouplers isolate
the digital inputs electrically.
Application
The ICAM is suitable for applications with nearly all piezoelectric sensors. The output signals can be used for monitoring,
control and optimization of an industrial measuring process.
Its floating-potential digital inputs are designed for integration
in a machine control system.
