DAIICHI SAN4-40M – Multi‑channel signal isolator/transmitter for clean, reliable analog I/O

The DAIICHI SAN4-40M is built for plants that live and breathe analog signals—4–20 mA loops, 0–10 V controls, and the assorted noise that comes with them. From my experience, this model fits nicely where you need a slim DIN‑rail module to isolate and condition multiple channels going to a PLC or DCS. You might notice that the design focuses on stable, low‑drift conversion and robust isolation, which in many cases is exactly what keeps ground loops and field noise from creeping into production data. Typical applications include water treatment skids, packaging machines, compressors, and OEM panels that ship globally.

Key Features

• Multi‑channel conditioning – Designed for multiple analog channels to simplify wiring to PLC/DCS while keeping loops separated.
• Galvanic isolation – Channel‑to‑channel and channel‑to‑power isolation typically used to eliminate ground loops and cross‑talk.
• Common industrial ranges – Supports the usual 4–20 mA and 0–10 V signal ranges used across process and machine control.
• 24 VDC supply – Fits standard control panels without special power rails; low power draw in most cases.
• Thin DIN‑rail footprint – A slim housing helps when cabinet space is tight, especially in OEM builds.
• Noise‑resistant design – Appears to be optimized for stable readings in electrically noisy environments (inverters, contactors, motors nearby).
• Status indicators – Visual status makes commissioning and troubleshooting faster on site.
• Field‑friendly terminals – Straightforward screw or spring terminals typically used for quick, reliable wiring.

Technical Specifications

Note: Where the manufacturer’s datasheet is not explicit, values below reflect typical configurations for DAIICHI multi‑channel signal isolators used in industrial panels.

Real‑world usage

A packaging OEM recently used the SAN4‑series to bring four pressure transmitters into a compact cabinet. One thing I appreciate is how the isolated channels prevented a stubborn ground loop that had been causing drift on one station. Commissioning went faster than expected—status LEDs made it obvious which loop was wired backward. In many cases, that little detail saves an hour on site.

Related or supporting products

• DAIICHI SAN4-20M – Same concept with a variant configuration; typically chosen when panel routing or cable run requirements differ.
• DAIICHI SAN2-40M – Two‑channel version when you don’t need four isolated loops.
• DAIICHI SI‑1 – Single‑channel signal isolator for stand‑alone loop conditioning.
• 24 VDC DIN power supplies (PSU‑24DIN type) – Stable supply for multi‑channel conditioners.
• DIN accessories – 35 mm rail, end clamps, and shielded twisted‑pair cable for long sensor runs.

Installation & Maintenance

• Cabinet & ventilation – Mount on TH35 rail with at least one finger’s width clearance above/below for airflow. Avoid mounting directly beside VFDs; if unavoidable, add a metal divider plate.
• Wiring – Use shielded twisted‑pair for analog signals. Land shields at one end only (usually the control cabinet) to prevent ground loops. Keep analog and power cables separated from high‑voltage or motor leads.
• Grounding – Bond the DIN rail and cabinet to protective earth. From my experience, a good PE bond reduces random spikes on 0–10 V inputs.
• Commissioning – Verify channel direction (IN vs OUT) before powering. Inject a 4–20 mA test signal or 5 V reference to confirm scaling.
• Routine maintenance – Annual loop check and visual inspection; clean terminals with dry air; re‑torque screws if used. Firmware updates are not typically required for pure analog conditioners.
• Safety – De‑energize the panel before service. Observe SELV/PELV practices on the 24 VDC bus.

Quality & Certifications

• CE and RoHS compliance are typically provided for DAIICHI industrial modules; UL/cUL recognition may be available depending on the exact sub‑model.
• Manufactured under ISO 9001 quality systems (common for this category and brand).
• Manufacturer’s warranty: 12 months (365 days) from delivery.
