  • Loop Power: Provides 24V DC loop power for 2-wire transmitters.
  • Open Wire Detection: Detects broken field wiring.
  • Scaling: Software-configurable engineering units.
  • Filtering: Adjustable digital filtering for noisy environments.

Application Scenarios:

  • Temperature, pressure, and flow measurement.
  • Level monitoring in tanks and vessels.
  • Process control and optimization.

Performance Parameters:

  • Input Impedance: Low impedance for current loop compatibility.
  • Update Rate: Fast scan rate for dynamic processes.
  • Common Mode Rejection: Excellent noise immunity.

Material Composition & Structural Characteristics:

  • PCB: Precision analog front-end components.
