Description
Product Specification: KONGSBERG RMP201-8 Remote Multi-Purpose Input/Output Module
KONGSBERG RMP201-8 is a high-performance remote input/output (I/O) module designed for industrial automation, marine control, and process monitoring systems. It offers flexible configuration, robust connectivity, and advanced diagnostic capabilities to meet diverse operational requirements.
1. Product Description
The RMP201-8 serves as a modular interface for digital and analog signal acquisition, relay control, and remote monitoring. Key features include:
- Multi-Channel Support: Typically integrates multiple configurable channels for digital input/output (DI/DO), analog input (AI), and relay outputs.
- Signal Flexibility: Supports discrete switches, digital sensors, pulse counting, and analog signals (e.g., voltage/current/PT100).
- High Precision: Equipped with high-resolution ADCs for accurate signal conversion.
- Industrial-Grade Design: IP67-rated protection (for select variants), resistance to vibration, and wide temperature range (-30°C to +60°C).
