METSO A41300
Product Name: Metso Analog Input Module (A41300)
Product Introduction: The Metso A41300 is an analog input module within the Metso/Valmet distributed control system (DCS) architecture. It digitizes standard analog field signals (4–20 mA or 0–10 V) from process sensors into digital process variables for PLC processors and safety controllers.
