NewTek NTC-6000 adds digital outputs for legacy LVDTs

★ By Puja Mitra Leave a Comment

NewTek has released the NTC-6000 Qwik-Cal LVDT signal conditioner, which adds digital outputs to existing LVDT sensors. The unit lets facilities connect legacy LVDTs, RVDTs and LVRT half-bridge sensors to digital control systems, automation networks or IIoT platforms without replacing the sensors. Many analog sensors can be difficult to connect to modern control systems, and […]
