- 8 channels of digital output circuits (transistor-driven)
- HART/Modbus communication chip
- Status indicators (power, communication, fault)
- Heat Sink: A metal heat sink improves heat dissipation performance and ensures stability during long-term operation.
5. Application Fields
- Petrochemical Industry: Switch control and status monitoring of valves and pump stations.
- Power System: Discrete signal acquisition for circuit breakers and relay protection.
- Metallurgy and Iron & Steel Industry: Digital access for furnace temperature and material level sensors.
- Water Treatment and Sewage Treatment: Start-stop control of valves and pumps.
- General Process Automation: Any on-site control system that requires reliable discrete I/O.
6. Installation and Maintenance
Installation Steps
- Turn off the system power and confirm on-site safety.
- Align the module with the base card slot and push it gently until it clicks into place.
- Fix the module with screws to ensure mechanical stability.
- Connect the power cable, signal cable, and HART/Modbus communication cable.
- Start the system and check if the LED indicators are normal.
Maintenance Points
- Regularly check the tightness of terminal connections to prevent loosening.
- Monitor the module temperature and clean the dust on the heat sink if necessary.
- Use the DeltaV diagnostic function to read self-test reports and replace faulty channels in a timely manner.
- If module replacement is required, first take the module offline in the control system before performing plug-and-play operations.
