Features:
- Eight current inputs convert transmitter signals into process values.
- Eight protected sensor-supply outputs support the documented field-loop arrangement.
- Integration, smoothing, diagnostics, alarms and HART access are configured around each measurement path.
A transmitter current enters the selected channel through the 20-pole terminal connection.
The configured integration and conversion path produces the process value and status.
Distributed I/O communication transfers those data to the controller for scaling and diagnostics.

Organizing eight current loops on one module
- Channel ranges: Each input receives its assigned 0–20, 4–20 or ±20 mA signal.
- Terminal selection: The documented jumper arrangement selects two-wire or four-wire transmitters.
- Sensor supply: One protected supply output is associated with each loop path.
- Process value: The 15-bit-plus-sign result enters the assigned input address.
Balancing interference rejection against update speed
- 60 Hz rejection: A 16.6 ms integration produces the fastest documented channel cycle.
- 50 Hz rejection: A 20 ms integration aligns the measurement with 50 Hz mains interference.
- 10 Hz rejection: A 100 ms integration increases rejection while extending update time.
- Module cycle: Eight sequential conversions determine the full-module refresh interval.
Feeding transmitters without losing channel-level diagnosis
- 24 V input: The station supply powers module electronics and sensor outputs.
- Short circuit: A field fault is contained by the protected sensor-supply path.
- Reverse polarity: The supply input is protected against incorrect DC polarity.
- Diagnosis: Loop and channel states identify which transmitter path needs inspection.
Adding device communication and process events to the current value
- HART path: Digital device data shares the documented analog current loop.
- Diagnostics: Configured messages report channel and module conditions.
- Process limits: Alarm thresholds convert selected measurement events into controller interrupts.
- Archive: Range, timing, HART and alarm settings stay with the exact channel map.
