FAQ

1. Can the AAI143-H5 module detect open loop or signal wire disconnection?

   Yes, it includes open circuit detection as part of its diagnostic functionality.

2. Is simultaneous HART communication with all 16 channels supported?

   HART communication is time-multiplexed; simultaneous data retrieval depends on DCS configuration and scanning settings.

3. How does the module handle signal interference or noise?

   The module is designed with optical isolation and digital filtering to minimize the impact of electrical noise.

4. Is the AAI143-H5 capable of detecting sensor signal drift?

   While the module itself doesn’t auto-detect drift, HART-compatible field devices can relay diagnostics to the DCS.

5. Does this module support redundancy for critical systems?

   Yes, it can be used in redundant system architectures depending on the controller and system configuration.

6. What is the resolution of analog input data processing?

   The module uses a 16-bit A/D converter for high-precision signal acquisition.

7. Can I perform remote calibration via HART?

   Yes, the module allows remote calibration and configuration of HART-enabled transmitters through asset management tools.
