Each of its eight channels can handle both standard 4–20 mA signals and superimposed HART digital communications, with per-channel galvanic isolation and onboard FSK modems. The module offers point-to-point communication with HART devices, supporting up to two messages per second, and ensures high signal integrity with a sigma-delta A\/D conversion process.
