  • It can work normally in an environment with a relative humidity of 5% to 95% without condensation, which is suitable for humid working conditions such as water treatment plants and chemical workshops.
  • It can withstand 5 g peak – to – peak random vibration and 30 g half – sine wave impact lasting 11 ms, and complies with IEC electromagnetic compatibility standards.

Function Features

• Multi – type Output Adaptability

  The module supports two output modes: external – source DC voltage and relay switch. It can be flexibly configured according to the type of on – site executive equipment. It can match with DC – driven solenoid valves and actuators, as well as relay – controlled contactors and other devices, eliminating the need for additional signal conversion components and improving the compatibility of the module with different on – site equipment.

• Strong Anti – interference and Signal Integrity

  Each output channel is designed with independent electrical isolation from other channels and the ground. This design completely isolates interference signals between different channels and between channels and the control system. It ensures that the output signals are not distorted, which is crucial for maintaining the stability of on – site equipment operation and the accuracy of control commands.

• Convenient Fault Diagnosis and Maintenance

  It is equipped with diagnostic LED indicators that display the operating status of each channel and the overall module in real time. Maintenance personnel can directly observe the LED status to quickly identify faulty channels or abnormal module operations. This design shortens the time for troubleshooting and maintenance and reduces the downtime of the entire control system caused by equipment failures.

• Customizable Configuration Flexibility

  The module allows users to customize output settings. Users can adjust parameters such as output pulse width and set fault – safe configurations according to actual process requirements. For example, in critical production links, users can set a specific fault – safe state for the module. When an abnormal situation occurs, the module can automatically switch to this state to avoid major safety accidents or production losses.

Application Scenarios

• Petrochemical Industry

  It is deployed in oil refineries and natural gas processing plants, connecting with solenoid valves on pipelines, actuators on distillation towers, and relay switches on storage tank discharge devices. It receives control signals from the I/A Series DCS to regulate the opening and closing of valves, the operating speed of actuators, and the start – stop of discharge pumps. It ensures precise control of the oil refining and gas separation processes and prevents safety hazards such as material leakage and over – pressure in tanks.

• Power Industry

  It is installed in thermal power and hydropower plants, matching with actuators of boiler feed water systems, relay switches of steam turbine auxiliary equipment, and control valves of power distribution cabinets. It converts control signals from the central system into output signals to adjust the water supply volume of boilers, control the start – stop of auxiliary equipment, and switch the on – off state of power distribution circuits. It helps maintain stable operation of power generation equipment and ensures the safety and reliability of power grid power supply.

• Automotive Manufacturing Industry

  It is applied in automated assembly lines of automobiles, connecting with relay switches of robotic arms, actuators of stamping equipment, and control valves of paint spraying systems. It executes control commands from the production line control system to control the movement trajectory of robotic arms, the stamping frequency of stamping machines, and the paint supply of paint spraying systems. It ensures the coordination and accuracy of each link in the automobile assembly process and improves production efficiency and product quality.

• Water Treatment Industry

  It is used in urban sewage treatment plants and industrial wastewater treatment systems, connecting with control valves of sedimentation tanks, actuators of filtration equipment, and relay switches of dosing pumps. It controls the opening and closing of sedimentation tank discharge valves, the operation of filtration equipment, and the dosing amount of dosing pumps according to signals from the central control system. It ensures that each treatment link such as sewage sedimentation, filtration, and disinfection is carried out in an orderly manner and guarantees that the treated water meets discharge standards.

• Pharmaceutical Industry

  It is integrated into automated pharmaceutical production lines, matching with actuators of mixing equipment, relay switches of sterilization devices, and control valves of filling machines. It receives control signals to regulate the mixing speed of raw material mixers, the start – stop of high – temperature sterilization equipment, and the filling speed of filling machines. It ensures that each production link strictly complies with preset process parameters and maintains the stability and qualification rate of pharmaceutical products while meeting pharmaceutical production quality management specifications.
