GE DS3820ATMA MKIV, Analog Test Module

 

The primary role of the DS3820ATMA is to simulate analog signals or to monitor them, allowing for a controlled test of the system without requiring physical sensors to be connected. This is crucial for maintenance and diagnostics. Key functions include:

  • Signal Simulation: The module can generate precise analog signals, such as voltage or current, to simulate a sensor’s output. This allows a technician to test the control system’s response to various conditions, such as a high-pressure reading, a specific temperature, or a low-flow signal.
  • Signal Measurement: It can also be used to measure the analog signals coming from the system’s I/O cards, verifying that the outputs are correct and within the specified range.
  • Calibration: The module can be used in conjunction with calibration software to ensure the system’s analog inputs are reading correctly and to make any necessary adjustments.
