Description

GE 8101-HI-TX-02 8-Channel Analog/Digital Input Module

The GE 8101-HI-TX-02 fits seamlessly into broader industrial control systems, acting as a reliable bridge between field sensors and the central control unit. It is highly compatible with systems like Distributed Control Systems (DCS) and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems. In these systems, the module is responsible for converting analog signals from various sensors, such as temperature, pressure, and flow sensors, into digital data that can be easily processed by the control system. This conversion process is the core purpose of the GE 8101-HI-TX-02, ensuring that the control system receives accurate and timely information to make informed decisions and execute precise control actions.
