B&R 3IF050.6
Product Type: 8-Channel Analog Input Module
Product Description:
The B&R 3IF050.6 is an 8-channel analog input module from the B&R X20 distributed I/O system. It accepts voltage and current signals from field sensors and transmitters and converts them to digital values for the PLC. Each channel is electrically isolated.
