16169-1 | SIEMENS SAM Marshalled Termination Assembly

• Minimizes hardware costs with 16 software-configurable channels (thermocouple or voltage input)• Improves accuracy and simplifies configuration with integral linearization, autoranging, selfcalibration, and cold junction compensation• Facilitates faster response to field problems with a configurable burnout detection feature (up or downscale)• Provides greater protection against short circuits via individually isolated channels• Supports redundant architecture for high availability• Reduces servicing time by allowing the module to be inserted or removed while powered withoutdisturbing field wiring• Isolates field faults by electrically isolating all input channels from the backplane and ground• Complies with the European Union’s Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Directive, which requiresprocess control equipment to be immune to electromagnetic interference (EMI) and limits the amountof electromagnetic emissions (see module specifications in Table 6-2 for more detailed information)
