Product Overview

Model Definition

Technical Parameters

• Input Channels: 4 isolated analog inputs, channel‑to‑channel and channel‑to‑logic isolation.

• Signal Types: 4–20 mA DC (default), 0–10 V DC, ±5 V, ±10 V (configurable).

• Resolution: 12‑bit A/D conversion, high linearity and accuracy.

• Isolation Voltage: 2500 VAC RMS between field and logic sides.

• Operating Voltage: 24 VDC (backplane‑powered).

• Operating Temperature: 0 °C to +60 °C.

• Filtering: Integral low‑pass filter (100 Hz cutoff) for noise reduction.

• Installation: Single‑slot, standard AutoMax rack mount; hot‑swap capable.

Interface and Communication Configuration

• Backplane Interface: Dedicated edge connector for power and data exchange via AutoMax proprietary bus.

• Field Terminals: Screw terminals on front panel for analog sensor/transmitter wiring.

• Communication Protocol: Communicates with the main controller over the backplane; no external network ports.

• Status Indicators: LED per channel for input status; module OK and fault LEDs.

Core Functions

• Acquires and conditions 4‑channel analog signals from transmitters, sensors, and transducers.

• Converts analog signals to high‑resolution digital values for the control processor.

• Provides galvanic isolation to protect system circuits from field noise and ground loops.

• Performs signal filtering, scaling, and fault detection (open/short circuit).

• Transmits real‑time process data to the controller for monitoring, PID control, and alarming.

Application Scenarios

• Process industries: Steel, pulp and paper, water treatment, chemical, and power.

• Factory automation: Assembly lines, material handling, and packaging machinery.

• Typical signals: Flow, pressure, temperature, level, and speed transmitters.

• System integration: AutoMax/DCS 5000 based plants requiring multi‑channel analog monitoring.

Operation and Maintenance Instructions

• Power off the rack before installation or removal.

• Insert the module into the designated slot and ensure firm backplane contact.

• Wire field signals to the correct terminals, observing polarity and signal range.

• Configure channel parameters (range, filtering, scaling) via system software.

• Keep the rack clean, dry, and well‑ventilated; avoid corrosive gases and excessive vibration.

• Inspect terminals and LED indicators periodically; replace the module with the same part number if faulty.

• Do not disassemble or modify the module; repairs must be performed by authorized personnel.
