Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What redundancy features does the 8C-TAOXB1 support?
A: It provides dual redundant output channels with automatic failover and safe-state configuration per channel.

Q: Can the module communicate over HART?
A: Yes; each 4–20 mA channel supports bi-directional HART for parameter reading and diagnostics.

Q: How precise are the analog outputs?
A: Outputs are 16-bit with ±0.1 % FS accuracy and <0.005 % FS/°C drift.

Q: What environmental ratings does it meet?
A: Rated for –20 °C to +60 °C and 5 – 95 % non-condensing humidity.

Q: Is the PCB coated for harsh conditions?
A: Yes; conformal coating protects against moisture, dust, and corrosive atmospheres.

Q: How is module status indicated?
A: Front-panel LEDs show channel status, HART comms, and fault conditions; dry-contact alarms provide remote signaling.

Q: What power supply is required?
A: A single 24 V DC supply (±20 %) powers the module; typical consumption is 3.5 W.

Q: Can I hot-swap the module in the rack?
A: Yes; the Series C rack supports hot-swap replacement without shutting down adjacent modules.

Q: What isolation rating does each channel have?
A: Each channel is isolated to 1 500 VAC from other channels and the backplane.

Q: What rack or rail mounting options are available?
A: It fits standard Series C racks and can be mounted on DIN-rail adapters when space is limited.
