Phoenix MCR-S Series: Industrial Signal Converters - Selection Guide
Product Overview
The Phoenix MCR-S Series are high-precision industrial signal converters designed for on-site signal conditioning in industrial settings. They convert input signals of different ranges (e.g., millivolt, milliampere-level signals) into standardized voltage/current (UI) signals, compatible with PLCs, DCS, and other control systems to enable stable signal transmission and accurate data acquisition. Supporting 35mm DIN rail mounting, these compact and reliable converters are ideal for process control, manufacturing, automated production lines, and other scenarios requiring signal conversion and conditioning.
