Field Application & Problem Solved
- Hazardous Chemical Plant Monitoring: In chemical production workshops with flammable and explosive gas, the T8801 module can be used to connect temperature, pressure and other detection sensors on the reaction kettle and pipeline. As a non-incendive digital input FTA module, it can ensure safe and stable transmission of sensor signals to the central control system. It avoids signal transmission failures or safety hazards caused by harsh and dangerous environments, enabling the control system to timely grasp the equipment operation status.
- Power Plant DCS System Connection: In the DCS monitoring system of power plants, there are a large number of field instruments and control equipment that need to be connected to the main control system. The T8801 module, with its 40 channels and stable signal transmission capability, can centrally connect multiple sets of equipment signals. Its multi-protocol compatibility also allows it to be seamlessly integrated into the existing DCS system, solving the problem of incompatible interfaces between different devices and the control system, and improving the efficiency of signal collection and transmission.

Installation & Maintenance Pitfalls (Expert Tips)
- Wiring Torque Control: When installing the module with 3 JX 133 screw clamps, strictly control the torque at 0.5N·m. Excessive torque may damage the clamp and the module terminal, while insufficient torque will lead to poor contact, resulting in unstable signal transmission. After wiring, pull the wires slightly to check the firmness.
- Communication Parameter Matching: When connecting the module to the upper control system, ensure that the communication parameters such as the baud rate of the module’s Modbus RTU or CANopen protocol are consistent with the system settings. Inconsistent parameters will cause communication interruptions. After configuration, conduct a communication test to confirm that the data transmission is smooth.
- Regular Protection Inspection: Although the module has an IP54 protection rating, in dusty and humid industrial environments, regular inspections should be carried out on its enclosure and interfaces. Clean the dust on the surface in time, and check whether the sealing performance of the interface is intact. If cracks or damages are found on the enclosure, replace or repair it immediately to avoid internal circuit damage due to the intrusion of dust and water vapor.
