Structural Characteristics
Compact dimensions of 140mm × 165mm × 45mm with a lightweight design of 0.6kg. The module is designed for easy installation and robust physical protection (IP20 rating).

Working Principle
As a terminal cable or module, it acts as a physical and logical bridge, converting and transmitting signals between the field instrumentation and the DCS host processor, ensuring data integrity through the system’s fieldbus protocol.

Installation Requirements
Must be connected securely to the host and fieldbus terminals. Ensure the installation environment meets the IP20 protection standard and avoid areas with extreme mechanical vibration.

Usage Precautions

  • Verify the compatibility of the cable/module with the specific host system before installation.
  • Handle with care during installation to avoid damaging the connector pins.
  • Regularly inspect the physical condition of the cable to prevent signal degradation due to wear.
