Isolated Channels: Prevents cross-talk and electrical interference between different signals, ensuring accurate signal reception.
-
Built-in Diagnostics: Detects faults in individual channels, power supply issues, or communication problems, reducing troubleshooting time.
-
Wide Temperature Range: Suitable for extreme environments such as cold storage facilities or high-temperature industrial processes.
Functions
-
Data Acquisition: Collects digital signals from various sensors and devices.
-
Signal Conditioning: Converts digital signals into a format suitable for processing by the control system.
-
Control: Provides accurate and reliable data to the safety system for precise control.
