Performance Parameters

  • Operating Temperature: 0°C to 60°C
  • Storage Temperature: -40°C to 85°C
  • Power Supply: 24 VDC via backplane

Material Composition
Constructed with industrial-grade, flame-retardant materials and conformal-coated electronics for long-term reliability.

Structural Characteristics
Standard 200 Series FBM single-width form factor. Interfaces with the backplane via precision connectors and connects to field devices through a matched Terminal Assembly.

Operating Principle
Receives control commands from the controller, generates a high-precision 4-20mA analog signal, and superimposes a HART digital communication signal. It supports full-duplex communication for simultaneous control and device management.

Installation Requirements
Mount on a compatible 200 Series baseplate. Ensure adequate ventilation and low-impedance grounding. Use shielded twisted-pair cables for HART field wiring.

Usage Precautions
Verify that the external load impedance and voltage are within the module’s rated specifications. Ensure HART addresses are uniquely configured to prevent communication conflicts.
