• Form factor: Eurocard (IEEE 299), single-width
• Connector: Removable spring-clip terminal block (20 terminals)
• Weight: approximately 0.25 kg
• Status LEDs: 2 channel indicators + power + HART communication

Working Principle:
Each channel has a dedicated multiplexer, A/D converter (input), or D/A converter (output). The on-board microcontroller configures the channel direction at initialization. For input mode, the signal is digitized, linearized, and sent to the FAST/TOOLS controller via Vnet/IP. For output mode, the controller sends a setpoint value which is converted to an analog signal by the 16-bit D/A converter and conditioned to 4–20mA or 0–10V. HART communication uses FSK at 1200 bps over the same wiring.

Advantages & Highlights:

• Flexible I/O configuration reduces spare parts inventory (one module type covers all needs)
• HART on both channels enables smart device management for input and output simultaneously
• 500V AC isolation ensures signal integrity
• Compact single-width Eurocard saves space in I/O station
• Per-channel diagnostics for both input and output modes

Applicable Industries:
Oil & Gas, Chemical, Petrochemical, Power, Water & Wastewater, Pharmaceutical, HVAC, Manufacturing

Installation Requirements:

• Install in FAST/TOOLS I/O station
• For TC input: use extension-grade thermocouple wire
• For RTD input: use 3-wire or 4-wire configuration
• For mA output: ensure load resistance is within compliance range (typically 250–600 Ω for 4–20mA)
• Ground shields at control room end only
• Verify channel direction (input/output) in FAST/TOOLS Engineering Station (FES)
• Ambient: -10°C to +60°C, humidity: 10–85% RH (no condensation)

Usage Precautions:

• Do not exceed 50V DC on any input terminal
• For mA output, do not exceed 600 Ω load resistance
• For TC input with 3-wire RTD: ensure correct wire assignment; mismatch causes significant measurement error
• HART requires 250 Ω termination resistor in the loop
• Do not hot-swap unless the I/O station supports it
• Calibrate annually using Yokogawa CA150 or CA750 process calibrator
• Verify output direction in FES before energizing the loop to avoid damage to field devices
