Emerson 8103-AI-TX-04 PAC8000 Analog Input Module

The Emerson 8103-AI-TX-04 is an 8-channel analog input module engineered for the PAC8000 Remote I/O platform. It processes 4-20 mA DC current signals from industrial transmitters, providing high-resolution process variable monitoring for distributed control systems in demanding industrial environments.

Technical Specifications

Signal Conditioning and Diagnostics

The module features open-circuit and short-circuit fault detection to enhance measurement reliability. It supports configurable high, high-high, low, and low-low alarm functions, while its non-incendive field circuit design accommodates installation requirements in hazardous process areas.

System Integration

Designed to mount directly onto compatible PAC8000 I/O carriers, the module integrates with system architectures like DeltaV and Ovation via standard communication protocols. It requires 24 V DC bussed field power and supports HART communication pass-through for remote device configuration and diagnostics.
