Yokogawa UR1BG3-008-0102-008/Z

Product Overview:
The UR1BG3-008-0102-008/Z is a safety-rated I/O interface module for the Yokogawa ProSafe-RS Safety Instrumented System. The configuration 008-0102-008/Z indicates: 008 = 8-channel digital input, 0102 = specific module variant/channel grouping, 008/Z = additional 8-channel configuration with zone-specific termination. This module provides SIL3-certified digital input signal acquisition from field safety devices (emergency stop buttons, limit switches, gas detectors).
