Foxboro IP26-1000 Current to Pneumatic (I/P) Converter

Product Brief Description

Foxboro IP26-1000 is an electro-pneumatic I/P converter from the IP26 series. It converts a 4–20mA DC analog control signal from DCS or PLC into a proportional linear pneumatic output of 3–15 psi (0.2–1 bar). It adopts a low-mass control structure, with explosion-proof and intrinsically safe certification, stable performance under high vibration, widely used to drive pneumatic control valves and actuators in hazardous process areas.

Product Functions
