METSO IOP303 RTD Input Module

Overview

The METSO IOP303 is a specialized input module designed for industrial automation systems. It is primarily used to acquire signals from Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTDs), which are commonly used to measure temperature. This module plays a crucial role in converting the analog signals from RTDs into digital signals that can be processed by a programmable logic controller (PLC) or distributed control system (DCS).
