Watanabe Electric Signal Converters
Signal converters take a sensor reading and isolate, distribute, or transform it into a standard format for your control system. Watanabe manufactures eight different series, grouped here by the set of functions they offer.
WSP / WSPA / WGP / WVP / WAP Series
These five series share the same complete set of functions: isolators, distributors, temperature converters, sensor-signal converters, power/AC signal converters, pulse/frequency converters, configurable alarms, and computing/function modules.
| Series | Description |
|---|---|
| WSP | Isolator, distributor, temperature converter, sensor-signal converter, power/AC converter, pulse/frequency converter, configurable alarm, and computing/function module. |
| WSPA | Same functional range as the WSP series. |
| WGP | Same functional range as the WSP series. |
| WVP | Same functional range as the WSP series. |
| WAP | Same functional range as the WSP series. |
TZ, TW, and TH Series
These three series cover more specific subsets of isolation and signal-conversion functions.
| Series | Description |
|---|---|
| TZ | Isolator, distributor, temperature converter, sensor-signal converter, and power/AC converter. |
| TW | Isolator, distributor, sensor-signal converter, and configurable alarm. |
| TH | Isolator, temperature converter, and sensor-signal converter. |
Frequently Asked Questions About This Line
The signal converter takes a sensor reading and isolates, distributes, or normalizes it into a standard format for a PLC, DCS, or control system to use, instead of only displaying it like a panel meter does.
The WSP, WSPA, WGP, WVP, and WAP series include the full range: isolation, distribution, temperature, sensor signal, power/AC, pulse/frequency, configurable alarms, and computing/function modules. The TZ series covers isolation, distribution, temperature, sensor signal, and power/AC, without alarms or computing modules.
It depends on the model; most deliver a standard output compatible with industrial controllers. Tell us your control system and the type of source sensor and we will confirm compatibility.
Which series do you need?
Tell us the type of source sensor and the control system it connects to, and we will quote the right series.
