ABB PFV0-102 (PFV0102) – Frequency-to-Voltage Signal Converter for Drives, PLCs, and Process Lines

• Warranty: 365 days

• Lead time: 1 week if in stock; no more than one month at the latest

• Payment terms: 50% advance payment; full payment prior to delivery

• Express options: FedEx, UPS, DHL

• Frequency-to-voltage conversion: Converts pulse/frequency inputs from encoders, tachometers, and flow meters into a stable analog output for PLC/drive analog inputs.

• Clean, scalable output: Typically provides a 0–10 V analog signal; many setups also support a current output variant if needed.

• Industrial 24 VDC supply: Designed for control cabinets that run on 24 VDC, making power integration straightforward.

• DIN-rail friendly: Slim housing that fits standard 35 mm DIN rail, so it drops into existing panels without rework.

• Noise-aware design: In many cases, input filtering and grounding points help reduce jitter from “noisy” pulse sources.

• ABB ecosystem fit: Plays nicely with ABB drives and PLC analog inputs, reducing commissioning time on multi-vendor projects.

• Status indication: Typically equipped with basic LEDs for power and signal activity, useful during quick checks.

Typical use cases span discrete manufacturing and process industries where frequency signals dominate field sensing:

• Drives and conveyors: Convert encoder pulses to 0–10 V speed feedback for ABB drives or PLC speed loops.

• Water & wastewater: Translate turbine or paddlewheel flow sensor pulses into an analog rate for SCADA trending.

• Packaging lines: Stabilize line-speed feedback to eliminate jitter on dosing or cut-to-length operations.

• Textiles, paper, and film: Use tach pulses to maintain tension control with a clean analog reference.

• Retrofits: Bridge legacy pulse outputs to modern PLC/IPC analog inputs without rewriting entire control strategies.

A maintenance manager shared that swapping a noisy prox/encoder pulse into a PFV module “smoothed the analog trend right away,” which seems to be a common experience when fighting EMI on older lines.

• Reliability: Solid-state design focused on clean signal conditioning reduces nuisance trips and analog jitter.

• Compatibility: Works with ABB drives/PLCs and most analog input cards that expect a 0–10 V signal in many cases.

• Cost-effective integration: Avoids redesigning PLC logic by converting existing pulse sources to the analog domain.

• Faster commissioning: Simple wiring and scaling let teams validate direction and range with a multimeter in minutes.

• Support: Backed by a 365-day warranty and responsive fulfillment schedules, helpful on time-sensitive retrofits.

• Cabinet environment: Mount on a 35 mm DIN rail inside a ventilated control cabinet; maintain ambient within typical industrial range.

• Power & wiring: 24 VDC supply with proper grounding; use shielded twisted pairs for pulse inputs; route low-level signals away from VFD output cables.

• Scaling & setup: Configure input range and scaling to match sensor frequency and desired analog span; validate with a handheld tach source where possible.

• Safety: De-energize the cabinet before wiring; verify sensor type (NPN/PNP) and common reference to avoid miswiring.

• Routine checks: Quarterly verify analog scaling against a known frequency; tighten terminals; clean dust; update panel documentation.

• Spare strategy: Keeping one spare on the shelf typically cuts downtime to under an hour during swaps.

• Compliance: Typically supplied with CE marking; RoHS-compliant materials are standard on ABB low-voltage modules.

• UL/CSA: Regional certification availability can vary by batch and variant; we can verify exact approvals against your part code before shipment.

• Warranty: 365 days from shipment.

Note: PFV0-102 and PFV0102 are treated as the same reference in ordering discussions. If you need the exact scaling range or a current-output variant, share your sensor type and frequency span—we’ll match the configuration that fits your cabinet and PLC/drive input.
