3. Features

1. 8‑channel high density: Saves slot count compared to 4‑channel modules.

2. Multi‑range software selection: Ranges configurable via Unity Pro / EcoStruxure Control Expert.

3. Open‑circuit detection: Diagnoses broken 4–20 mA loops (4–20 mA range only).

4. LED status indicators:

   • 8 × Channel ON LEDs (green)

   • 8 × Channel FAULT LEDs (red)

   • BUS ACTIVE / EXT FAULT LEDs

5. Conformal coating (C): Protects against moisture, dust, and corrosive gases for harsh environments.

6. High isolation: 1780 V AC isolation improves noise immunity in heavy‑duty plants.

4. Wiring Overview

• Terminals: Removable screw terminal block.

• RETURN: Common return for each channel group.

• N/C: Not connected.

• VM: Voltmeter tap (≤1 m cable length).

• Shielding: Use twisted shielded pairs; shield ground at cabinet only.

5. Configuration

• Software: Unity Pro XL / EcoStruxure Control Expert.

• Parameters:

  • Output range selection

  • Scaling (engineering units)

  • Filtering

  • Fault response (hold / freeze / preset)

6. Compatibility
