The Red Lion IFMA0035 is a versatile and precise frequency to analog converter designed for seamless integration into industrial automation systems. This DIN rail mountable device is engineered to accept a frequency input and convert it into a proportional analog voltage or current output, offering a user-selectable full-scale frequency range from 1 Hz to 25 KHz.
Crafted for reliability and accuracy, the IFMA0035 boasts an impressive accuracy of ±0.1% of the full-scale range for most operating modes, ensuring dependable performance in a variety of applications. The unit is equipped with a seven-position DIP switch, a rotary switch, a push button, and two indication LEDs, which facilitate easy configuration and provide visual feedback for parameter settings and input/output status.
The IFMA0035 is designed to work with a wide array of sensor outputs, thanks to its programmable input circuit. It can be powered by either 85 to 250 VAC or 9 to 32 VDC, making it suitable for diverse power supply conditions. The device also features three-way electrical isolation between power, input, and output, which minimises signal disturbances and enhances the integrity of the transmitted data.
This frequency to analog converter is an ideal solution for applications requiring precise signal conversion and is commonly used in process control, motor speed feedback, and any scenario where frequency input needs to be represented as an analog signal for monitoring or control purposes. Its robust construction and straightforward installation make it a practical choice for industrial environments looking to optimise their automation processes.

How do I set the input frequency range on the Frequency to Analog Converter?
To set the input frequency range, you need to access the configuration mode using the DIP switches on the device. Once in configuration mode, you can either apply the maximum input signal and use the push-button to capture the setting, or manually set the frequency using the rotary switch. Detailed steps for both methods are outlined in the device's manual.
Can the Frequency to Analog Converter be used with different types of sensors?
Yes, the converter is designed with a programmable input circuit that can accept signals from a wide variety of sensors, including switch contacts, outputs from CMOS or TTL circuits, magnetic pickups, and standard sensors.
What are the power requirements for the Frequency to Analog Converter?
The converter can be powered by either an AC supply ranging from 85 to 250 VAC at 48 to 62 Hz or a DC supply from 9 to 32 VDC. It is important to ensure that the power supplied to the unit is within these specified limits for optimal performance.
What output signal types can the Frequency to Analog Converter provide?
The converter can output either a voltage signal (0 to 5 VDC, 0 to 10 VDC) or a current signal (0 to 20 mA, 4 to 20 mA), depending on the operating mode selected via the DIP switches.
How can I adjust the minimum and full scale output values on the converter?
The minimum and full scale output values can be adjusted using the calibration routines provided in the device's manual. You will need to connect a current or voltmeter to the output pins and use the rotary switch and push-button to adjust the values as required.
What is the accuracy of the output signal from the Frequency to Analog Converter?
The output signal from the converter is accurate to ±0.1% of full scale for Operating Modes 2, 3, and 4. Operating Mode 1, which uses a 0 to 5 VDC range, is accurate to ±0.2% of full scale.
How does the Frequency to Analog Converter handle over-range and low frequency cut-out conditions?
The converter has an output LED that indicates over-range by turning on and clamping the output at the maximum level. For low frequency cut-out conditions, the LED also turns on to indicate that the input frequency is below the zero frequency setting.
Is the Frequency to Analog Converter equipped with isolation features?
Yes, the converter features 3-way electrical isolation between power, input, and output to prevent signal interference and ensure the integrity of the output signal.
Can I use the Frequency to Analog Converter in industrial environments?
Absolutely, the converter is designed with a high degree of immunity to ElectroMagnetic Interference (EMI) and follows EMC guidelines, making it suitable for use in industrial environments.
What are the environmental conditions under which the Frequency to Analog Converter can operate?
The converter is designed to operate within a temperature range of 0 to 50°C and can be stored at temperatures from -40 to 80°C. It can also handle up to 85% humidity (non-condensing) from 0°C to 50°C and is suitable for altitudes up to 2000 meters.
