  • Series C form factor with IOTA (Input/Output Termination Assembly) mounting interface

Working Principle:
The module receives 4-20 mA current signals from field transmitters and sensors, passes them through a 200 Ω input impedance circuit, and converts them to digital values using a 16-bit A/D converter. The HART pass-through functionality superimposes digital communication on the analog 4-20 mA loop, enabling two-way communication with smart instruments without interrupting the analog signal. The converted digital data is transmitted via the Series-C bus interface to the C300 controller for processing and control.

Advantages & Strengths:

  • Eliminates need for separate HART multiplexers, reducing system complexity and cost

  • Supports redundant configuration with bumpless transfer

  • 70 dB CMRR ensures signal stability in high-interference environments

  • SIL 2 certification for safety-critical applications

  • High-density 16-channel design minimizes cabinet space requirements

Applicable Industries:

  • Petrochemical: Refining, ethylene, synthetic ammonia plants – smart instrument signal acquisition and HART communication

  • Power Generation: Thermal power plants, hydroelectric stations, substations – boiler, turbine, generator parameter monitoring

  • Metallurgy: Blast furnaces, converters, continuous casting production lines

  • Pharmaceutical/Food: Clean production workshops requiring high-precision process control

Model Series: Experion Series C I/O / C300 Controller I/O Expansion Series

Installation Requirements:

  • Install in standard Series C I/O rack with adequate ventilation

  • Distinguish between 2-wire and self-powered transmitter wiring configurations

  • Configure channel range and HART parameters through system software after power-on

  • For redundant configurations, wire primary and backup modules independently for bumpless transfer

Usage Precautions:
