Triconex AO3481 Analog Output Module

The Triconex AO3481 is an 8‑channel TMR analog output module for Triconex safety instrumented systems. It converts digital control commands from main processors into 4‑20mA or 0‑10V analog signals to drive field control valves and actuators within safety‑related process loops.

This triple‑modular‑redundant rack‑mount module supports hot‑swap replacement and comprehensive per‑channel diagnostics. It provides channel‑to‑system galvanic isolation, built for stable continuous operation in petrochemical, oil‑gas and power‑plant SIS safety cabinets.
