KONGSBERG RAO-8 (Part No.8100153) is a remote analog output module specially developed for Kongsberg K-Chief and AutoChief marine integrated automation systems. It converts digital control commands from central process stations into standard analog signals to drive field control valves, governors, indicating transmitters and marine actuators. Deployed close to field equipment, it effectively shortens wiring distance and suppresses signal interference, serving as core distributed I/O hardware for vessel propulsion, power management and engine room monitoring systems. All displayed product pictures are schematic diagrams, and a full series of Kongsberg marine automation I/O spare modules have not been fully listed. You can consult our professional technical team to obtain complete datasheets and discuss quotation details.
