Passive analogue inputs for four-wire measuring transducers
See Phoenix Contact at MachineBuilding.Live, 4 October 2023, on stand 16
The new AI8 P analogue input modules from Phoenix Contact each offer eight passive channels for connecting a two-wire connection to transmit the process variable.
The power supply for the signal is connected externally directly to the measuring transducer. In addition, the AI8 P modules support HART communication. Bidirectional data exchange is performed between a process sensor and a monitoring or control system, allowing the sensor to provide more information about its function and its measurement data.
The portfolio of passive AI8 modules includes two versions each for the Axioline F XC and Axioline P product families. The two available versions are intrinsically safe or non-intrinsically safe modules.
