6. Selection Recommendations
Input Requirements: Ensure compatibility with your sensor types (e.g., thermocouple/RTD) and signal ranges.
Environmental Needs: Choose the module based on IP ratings (IP20 standard, optional IP65 for outdoor use).
System Integration: Verify RS-485/Modbus RTU compatibility with your PLC/DCS system.
Installation: Use shielded cables for analog signals and observe proper grounding to minimize noise.
Calibration: Perform factory-recommended recalibration every 2 years.
Safety: Disconnect power before replacing the module. Ensure compliance with NEC Class 1 Div 2 standards in hazardous environments.
