Core Functions

  1. Low-Level Signal Conditioning: Converts and isolates weak analog signals from thermocouples, RTDs, and transmitters.

  2. Field Termination: Centralizes low-level analog wiring from field sensors to DCS IOPs.

  3. Galvanic Isolation: Protects DCS from common-mode noise, ground loops, and high-voltage transients.

  4. High-Precision Conversion: 15-bit A/D conversion ensures accurate measurement of temperature and process variables.

  5. Signal Compatibility: Supports multiple sensor types (thermocouple, RTD, voltage, current) for versatile applications.

Application Scenarios

  • Process Industries: Chemical, petrochemical, power generation, pulp & paper (standard areas, non-CE).

  • Temperature Monitoring: Thermocouple/RTD inputs for furnace, reactor, and pipeline temperature control.

  • Low-Level Signal Measurement: Millivolt-level voltage or 4–20 mA current from pressure/level/flow transmitters.

  • General Industrial Environments: Non-harsh areas with normal humidity, dust, and temperature conditions.

  • Non-Certified Installations: Cost-effective solutions for sites not requiring CE/UL compliance.
