Description​

The Industrial ZMI-2002 is a high-performance dual-channel signal isolator and transmitter,engineered to solve signal interference and ground loop issues in industrial automation systems.As a critical component in signal transmission chains,it isolates,conditions,and converts analog signals(such as 4-20mA current or 0-10V voltage)from field sensors(temperature,pressure,flow sensors)to stable,noise-free signals for PLCs,DCSs,or SCADA systems.​

Equipped with advanced magnetic isolation technology,the ZMI-2002 provides 2500Vrms electrical isolation between input,output,and power supply,effectively blocking electromagnetic interference(EMI)and radio frequency interference(RFI)common in industrial environments.It supports dual-channel independent operation,allowing simultaneous processing of two separate sensor signals,and offers flexible signal conversion(e.g.,4-20mA to 4-20mA,0-10V to 4-20mA).With a wide operating temperature range(-25℃~+70℃)and DIN rail mount design,it is widely used in chemicals,power generation,oil refining,and manufacturing—where reliable,accurate signal transmission is essential for process control and safety.​

Application Scenarios​

Imagine a medium-sized steel mill with 10 temperature sensors(outputting 4-20mA)installed near high-power motors.Previously,the mill faced severe signal interference,with sensor data fluctuating by±1.5mA—leading to inaccurate furnace temperature control and 6%higher energy consumption.After installing the Industrial ZMI-2002 between the sensors and the mill’s DCS,the module’s 2500Vrms isolation blocked EMI from the motors,reducing signal fluctuation to±0.05mA.​

During a peak production shift,a temperature sensor near a rolling mill experienced a sudden voltage surge.The ZMI-2002’s built-in overload protection immediately cut off the abnormal signal,preventing damage to the DCS input card and avoiding a 2-hour furnace shutdown.Additionally,the module’s dual-channel design allowed the mill to monitor two sensors with one unit,reducing installation space by 50%compared to single-channel isolators.This scenario demonstrates how the ZMI-2002 solves key industry pain points:signal interference,equipment damage from surges,and space inefficiency in multi-sensor setups.​

Technical Principles and Innovative Values​

Innovation Point 1:Triple-Isolation Design​

Unlike basic isolators with only input-output isolation,the ZMI-2002 features 2500Vrms triple isolation(input-output,input-power,output-power),eliminating ground loops and EMI from all paths.A chemical plant using this module reported a 90%reduction in signal noise compared to single-isolation isolators,improving process control accuracy by 15%.​

Innovation Point 2:Dual-Channel Flexibility​

Each channel of the ZMI-2002 can be independently configured for different signal types(e.g.,Channel 1:4-20mA input/4-20mA output;Channel 2:0-10V input/4-20mA output).This eliminates the need to stock multiple single-channel isolators.A pharmaceutical plant reduced spare parts inventory by 60%and installation costs by$1,200 per control panel by standardizing on the ZMI-2002.​

Innovation Point 3:Wide-Range Power Supply​

With AC 85-265V/DC 12-36V auto-adaptive power supply,the module works in global industrial power environments without voltage conversion.A multinational manufacturing company used the ZMI-2002 across its plants in Europe(230V AC)and Asia(220V AC/24V DC),avoiding the cost of region-specific power modules.​

Innovation Point 4:Predictive Overload Protection​

Beyond basic short-circuit protection,the ZMI-2002 monitors input/output current/voltage in real time.When signals exceed 120%of full scale,it triggers a temporary shutdown and alerts operators via a status LED—preventing damage to downstream PLC/DCS cards.A power plant used this feature to avoid 3 DCS card replacements annually,saving$4,500 per replacement.​

Application Cases and Industry Value​

Case 1:Chemical Plant Sensor Signal Isolation​

A large chemical plant with 20 pressure sensors(4-20mA output)faced severe ground loop issues,causing signal drift of±0.8mA and inconsistent reactor pressure control.Installing 10 Industrial ZMI-2002 modules(each handling two sensors)eliminated ground loops via 2500Vrms isolation,reducing signal drift to±0.03mA.​

The modules’accurate signal transmission allowed the DCS to optimize reactor pressure within±0.05MPa,reducing raw material waste by 8%.Over one year,this translated to

Case 2:Power Plant Instrumentation Signal Conversion​

A 300MW coal-fired power plant needed to convert 0-10V voltage signals from 15 flow meters to 4-20mA current signals for its DCS(which only accepted 4-20mA).Deploying 8 Industrial ZMI-2002 modules(dual-channel)enabled seamless signal conversion,avoiding the need to replace the existing flow meters.​

The module’s anti-EMI design ensured stable signal transmission near the plant’s high-voltage transformers,with signal error rates dropping from 7%to 0.1%.The plant’s maintenance team also benefited from the module’s DIN rail mount design,reducing installation time by 40%compared to panel-mounted isolators.Over 12 months,the solution saved$80,000 in meter replacement costs and improved DCS data accuracy by 20%.​

Maintenance and Troubleshooting:Perform quarterly visual inspections to check the module’s status LED(green=normal,red=fault)and terminal block tightness.Every 6 months,use a precision signal generator to calibrate the module and ensure±0.1%accuracy.If a fault occurs:1)Check the power supply voltage to confirm it’s within the 85-265V AC/12-36V DC range;2)Disconnect the input signal and test the module with a standard 4-20mA/0-10V signal to isolate sensor vs.module issues;3)Inspect output wiring for short circuits using a multimeter.The ZMI-2002’s self-diagnostic LED reduces troubleshooting time by 70%compared to non-indicating isolators.​
