● Input
● This signal is converted to a digital signal in an analog-to-digital converter (A/D).
● The digital signal is evaluated in a microcontroller (μC1) on the secondary side and
corrected to match the input characteristic.
● The digital signal is transferred via the galvanic isolation
the primary side.
● The analog output value is calculated in the microcontroller (μC2) on the primary side. The
functional status is indicated by LED
● The digital-to-analog converter (D/A) subsequently converts the signal into the output
current
