T9881

The T9881 is an 8‑channel, simplex, isolated analog output termination assembly for the AADvance T9000 Safety Instrumented System (SIS). It provides the electrical interface between the T9481 simplex analog output module and 4–20 mA / 0–10 VDC field devices (control valves, positioners, indicators). T9881 is the simplex (non‑redundant) counterpart to T9882 (dual‑redundant), intended for SIL 2 safety loops where simplex architecture is acceptable.
