Highland Technology Announces its V420 Simulator

The V420 simulates resistors, RTDs, thermistors, strain gages, and load cells, and remains accurate for DC, AC, or pulsed excitation, according to Highland Technology.

Users directly program resistances or simulated RTD temperatures. The company designed the V420’s resistance changes to be fast and monotonic with no contact bounce or transient switching errors.

The V420 simulates eight two- or four-wire resistive sensors. Channels are individually programmable in four ranges, from 5 ohms to 65.5K ohms and operate from microvolts to 24V/50mA. Channels are fully isolated with up to 750V common-mode range with overvoltage protection up to 50V. 

The module provides channel calibration check capability and optional built-in self-test.
