  • 16-bit High Resolution: Delivers ultra-precise measurement and control for critical process variables (temperature, pressure, flow, level).
  • High-Speed Sampling: 1000 samples/second per channel ensures real-time data acquisition and responsive control.
  • High Accuracy: Maintains ±0.01% full-scale accuracy across entire operating temperature range.
  • Galvanic Isolation: 2.5 kV channel-to-bus isolation eliminates ground loops, signal interference, and electrical noise.

Multi-Function I/O Capability

  • Combined I/O Design: Integrates analog input, analog output, digital input, and digital output in a single module.
  • Flexible Channel Configuration: Each channel independently configurable for different signal types via software.
  • Simultaneous Signal Handling: Processes multiple input/output signals concurrently without performance degradation.
  • Output Slew Rate Control: Adjustable output ramp rates for smooth actuator control and prevent mechanical stress.
