Triconex AO3481 Analog Output Module

Data Processing And Transmission -- AO3481 featuring a high-performance data processing and transmission ability that supports production data and machine data (with generation of maintenance plans and reports), and real-time monitoring and optimization of access field data in industry. This will establish a sound foundation for data recording and observation during industrial production.

Security Integration Function: At the security integration server, the supporting standard OPC UA specifications can be loaded in to make the aggregation server be described more straightforward, compatible different objects for semantics integrated there between, realizing highly innovation integrated IT technologies to exist automation technologies, providing the stability for secured data access and system.

High-precision output: 12-bit resolution, output accuracy < 0.25% FSR (full scale), supporting 4-20mA standard signal, and able to meet the accuracy needs of most industrial control occasions.

Diagnosis and redundancy: Real time diagnosing circuit fault (wire broken, short circuit etc) by built in FSD function, fault could be self-repaired through 3 time redundant design, to minimize down time.

Flexible integration: Support for communication protocols including Modbus, Profibus, can be integrated with third-party systems such as SIMATIC S7 and Foxboro, and complies with the OPC UA standard allowing for the simple construction of an open industrial, Internet of Things architecture.

AO3481 It is widely applied in ESD and DCS systems in the petroleum and petrochemical industries, for example to control the temperature of reactor temperature control valve, adjust the pressure of the storage tank pressure release valve or trip safety interlock under dangerous conditions. Its TMR architecture makes it possible for the system to function safely even in the presence of a single-point failure, this being a requirement for SIS systems in safety standards such as IEC 61508.

The AO3481 is applied to such key links as turbine speed adjustment and boiler combustion controlling in power plants, etc., and realizes the real-time control of the steam flow and fuel feed with the high-precision analog output. Its remote I/O modules (any distance up to 12 km) are also ideal for central control by a distributed energy systems.

Industry 4.0 and Edge Computing Industry 4.0 bears potential to revolutionize automation and production infrastructure.

AO3481 can be incorporated into the network operation automation (NOA) architecture through the edgeConnector range of products, and control data can be uploaded to the cloud via OPC UA and MQTT protocols to realize equipment health monitoring, predictive maintenance and production optimization. For instance, in rubber machinery or logistics warehousing equipment, the analog output of it can be connected with the intelligent sensor, then to adjust the production parameters automatically in real time so as to get high efficiency.

The module adopts anti-interference design, applicable to harsh environments, such as metallurgy, papermaking, sewage treatment, etc. For example, in a papermaking line, AO3481 can accurately control the driving motor of the paper tension adjustment roller so that the continuous production process is well performed.
