This module must only be used to replace defective modules in an existing installation.
For new installations, please use PD 840 instead
The module is an intelligent module, provided with 16 analog input channels for current measurement, 0-20 mA or 4-20 mA. The module provides internal conversion of measurement into any engineering unit representing the analog process being monitored and controlled. The input signals are filtered, and suppressed against 50 and 60 Hz interference.
Supply voltage: 24 V DC.

The PD 3240 Analog Interface Module is one of a collection of distributed process control units,
intended for use within the P-NET Fieldbus. It provides a versatile interface between measurement transducers generating analogue current signals, such as temperature transmitters, pressure, density and level sensors, flow meters, etc., and distributed master control computers.
PD 3240 provides internal conversion of measurement into any engineering unit representing the analog process being monitored and controlled, for direct interrogation by central control or any master unit connected to the P-NET Fieldbus system.
The compact design and the outstanding environmental specifications for the Analog Interface
Module, makes it an ideal process component in industrial as well as other environments.
