Product Description

Overview

The SAI143-S53 is a high-precision, 16-channel Analog Input Module designed for the FIO (Field Network I/O) family. Compatible with CENTUM VP and ProSafe-RS systems, this module efficiently acquires 4-20 mA signals from field transmitters and converts them into reliable digital data for process control and safety monitoring.

The "-S53" revision features G3 Conformal Coating, providing excellent protection against corrosive environments, humidity, and dust. It also supports HART communication, enabling remote diagnostics and configuration of “Smart” transmitters.

Key Features
