Function Description
The NRAI01 is used to interface analog field signals with the DCS system.
Its main functions include:
- Providing termination points for analog input wiring
- Connecting field transmitters to the control system
- Supporting stable signal transmission into I/O modules
- Organizing multi-channel analog input connections
- Reducing wiring complexity in control cabinets
It does not perform control logic; instead, it acts as a signal interface layer.
Working Principle
The module works as a signal termination and routing interface:
- Field devices generate analog signals (commonly 4–20 mA or voltage signals)
- These signals are wired into the NRAI01 terminal points
- The module routes signals into the corresponding analog input system
- I/O modules convert these signals into digital values
- Controller modules use the data for process control
This structure ensures clean, organized, and reliable analog signal acquisition.
