# Key Features

Highly Integrated Mixed I/O: Integrates analog and digital signals within a single module to save space and reduce costs.

Powerful Relay Output Driving Capability: Each DO channel supports a high current of 500mA, capable of directly driving indicator lights, small relays or contactors.

16-bit High-precision Analog: AI/AO channels deliver high-resolution conversion, ideal for precision process control.

Full Galvanic Isolation Design: Provides isolation between channels and from channels to ground, effectively suppressing electromagnetic interference and ground loop issues.

Redundant Communication and Self-diagnosis: Redundant fieldbus ensures reliable data transmission; onboard LEDs and self-diagnosis functions facilitate easy maintenance.

Online Hot Swap Support: Modules can be replaced without system shutdown under redundant configuration, lowering the risk of system downtime.

# Application

Suitable for field devices requiring both analog and digital interfaces, such as transmitters, sensors, valve positioners, motor starters, etc.

Applicable to small-scale process control and monitoring scenarios, especially for control cabinets with limited space.

Widely used in industries including chemical, petrochemical, power, oil & gas, and water treatment.
