METSO A413110: 8-Channel Analog Input Module
The METSO A413110 is a versatile 8-channel analog input module designed for seamless integration into Metso Damatic XD and Valmet DNA automation platforms. It supports universal analog inputs including current (4-20mA, 0-20mA), voltage (0-10V, ±10V), resistance temperature detectors (RTD: PT100, PT1000), and thermocouples (J, K, T, E). Each channel is individually configurable and features 16-bit A/D conversion, high common-mode rejection, and 1500V AC isolation. The module provides per-channel LED status indication, wire break detection, and comprehensive self-diagnostics. Housed in a compact DIN-rail mountable enclosure with conformal-coated PCB, the A413110 operates from -20°C to +60°C and meets CE/UL certifications. It is ideal for pulp & paper, power, chemical, mining, and water/wastewater applications requiring reliable and precise analog measurement.
Platform Compatibility
The A413110 is a universal analog input module for Metso Damatic XD and Valmet DNA distributed control systems. It mounts in standard I/O racks or can be used as a standalone field module with optional IP65 enclosure. Full characterization within Valmet DNA Workbench ensures plug-and-play configuration.
Key Features and Functional Capabilities
8 Universally Configurable Analog Inputs: Each channel independently accepts current, voltage, RTD, or thermocouple signals without external signal conditioners. Software-selectable ranges cover all common process signals.
High-Accuracy 16-Bit A/D Conversion: Integrated delta-sigma ADC delivers ±0.1% of full-scale accuracy (typical) with 16-bit resolution. Sampling rate 10 Hz to 100 Hz per channel, user-selectable.
Galvanic Isolation: Channel-to-backplane isolation 1500V AC, channel-to-channel isolation 500V DC. Prevents ground loops and protects sensitive controller electronics.
Advanced Diagnostics: Per-channel green/red LED indicates input status and wire-break detection (for 4-20mA loops). Module-level status LEDs for power, communication, and fault. Continuous self-monitoring with reporting to the host system.
Sensor Compatibility: Supports 2-, 3-, and 4-wire RTD connections with automatic lead resistance compensation. Cold-junction compensation for thermocouples (internal or external CJC).
Robust Industrial Design: Conformal-coated PCB meets IPC-CC-830B for humidity and chemical resistance. Operating temperature -20°C to +60°C, storage -40°C to +85°C. Vibration and shock tested to IEC 60068-2-6/27.
Hot-Swap Capable (Rack Version): Module can be replaced while backplane is powered without disturbing adjacent I/O modules.
