System role
This section explains what the product does and where it acts in the surrounding system.
- Function
- Acquires eight analog process signals from the field and transfers their measured values into the TELEPERM M control system.
- System position
- Sits between analog/HART field transmitters and the TELEPERM M I/O bus/process image.
- Upstream / inputs
- Receives eight analog transmitter signals and the module's field-side supply connections.
- Downstream / outputs
- Publishes the converted analog values and documented diagnostic information to the process image.
- Limitations
- Unknown: exact signal ranges, wiring, transmitter loop load, rack configuration, and installation-specific compatibility.
