Industrial Applications

1. Analog process threshold alarm module

Use in process skids to detect when a sensor signal exceeds or falls outside a set band and trigger a relay or digital alarm output.

Problem Solved

Replaces external comparators and provides direct threshold-based alarm signaling from standard analog signals.

2. Machine condition limit monitoring

Integrates into control panels to monitor analog transducer signals such as pressure, level, or temperature transmitters and switch outputs when limits are crossed.

Problem Solved

Converts analog limit violations into discrete control actions for shutdown, warning, or interlock logic.
