Working Principle The I/O pack receives analog signals from field sensors and transmitters. Each input channel includes signal conditioning, isolation, and analog-to-digital conversion. The digital values are transmitted to the control processor via the IONet or Ethernet network. For outputs, the pack receives digital values from the processor, converts them to analog signals via digital-to-analog converters, and drives field actuators such as control valves or variable speed drives.
Installation Requirements
-
Mount on DIN rail in control cabinet
