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.
