A “current to pressure” converter

(I/P) converts an analog signal
(4 to 20 mA) to a proportional linear
pneumatic output (3 to 15 psig). Its
purpose is to translate the analog
output from a control system into
a precise, repeatable pressure
value to control pneumatic actuators/
operators, pneumatic valves,
dampers, vanes, etc.
The IP210 is a loop-powered
instrument, which eliminates the
need for an external power supply
(except for IP210-X120).
Principle of Operation
OMEGA’s IP210 converts an analog
signal (4 to 20 mA) to a proportional
linear pneumatic output (3 to 15 psig).
Its uncomplicated design and proven
electromagnetic force balance
deliver consistently high performance.
The IP210 provides a reliable,
repeatable, accurate means of
converting an electrical signal
into pneumatic pressure. Its force
balance principle is a coil suspended
in a magnetic field on a flexible
mount. At the lower end of the coil
is a flapper valve that operates Zero adjustment of the unit is made
against a precision ground nozzle to by turning a screw that regulates the
create a backpressure on the servo distance between the flapper valve
and the air nozzle. Span adjustment
diaphragm of a booster relay.
is made by varying a potentiometer,
The input current flows in the coil which shunts input current past the
and produces a force between the coil. An integral volume flow booster
coil and the flapper valve, which provides adequate flow capacity,
controls the servo pressure and the resulting in fast response time and
output pressure. accurate control.
