Function Description
The NTAI02 is used to organize and terminate analog field wiring signals before they are processed by the DCS system.
Its main functions include:
- Providing termination points for analog sensor wiring
- Supporting multiple analog input channels
- Routing field signals to analog input slave modules
- Allowing structured connection of transmitters and sensors
- Reducing wiring complexity inside control cabinets
It does not perform signal conversion or control logic; it serves as a termination and interface unit.
Working Principle
The module operates as part of the analog input acquisition chain:
- Field instruments generate analog signals (e.g., 4–20 mA)
- Signals are wired into the NTAI02 terminal points
- The unit routes signals to analog input modules (slave modules)
- Input modules perform A/D conversion
- Controller modules use the processed digital data for control logic
This ensures clean signal organization and reliable data acquisition.
