Technical Specifications

Installation Guidelines

• Ensure the control system is powered down before inserting or removing the module from the I/O carrier.
• Verify that the module is securely seated in the designated slot to ensure proper backplane communication.
• Use shielded twisted-pair cabling for analog signals to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI) in high-noise industrial settings.
• Maintain proper ventilation in the cabinet to stay within the specified operating temperature range of 0 to 60 degC.
• Follow standard ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) procedures when handling the module to prevent damage to internal circuitry.

FAQ

What is the primary function of the 8C-TAOXB1?
This is an Analog Output module used to convert digital control signals from the PLC/DCS into analog current signals (typically 4-20 mA) to drive field actuators, valves, or positioners.

Does this module support redundancy?
Yes, the 8C-TAOXB1 is designed to support optional redundancy, allowing for seamless failover if configured within a supported Experion LX architecture.

What is the resolution of the output?
The module offers a resolution of +/- 0.05% of the full-scale range, providing high accuracy for process control loops.
