METSO+D200535 BOU8

Description

Based on the available information and the context of ABB’s Advant OCS (also known as Valmet Automation’s Valmet 8000 DCS) systems, here’s what I can share about the METSO D200535 BOU8 module:

Potential Product Name and Description:

• The module is likely an ABB Advant OCS Module (or Valmet 8000 DCS Module) with the model number D200535 BOU8.
• Due to the limited information and the variation across specific models, pinpointing its exact function within the DCS is challenging. However, based on the historical use of the “D” prefix in these systems, it potentially belongs to the I/O (Input/Output) module category. I/O modules handle signal exchange between the DCS controller and field devices like sensors and actuators.
• The “BOU8” suffix might indicate a specific variant or revision within the D200535 family of modules.

Possible Functionalities:

• Digital I/O Module (most likely): Based on the prevalent use of “D” for digital I/O modules in these systems, this is the most probable scenario. It would handle digital signals (on/off or high/low) from sensors (e.g., limit switches, pushbuttons) and send digital control signals to actuators (e.g., solenoid valves, motor starters) within the process.
• Analog I/O Module (less likely): While less probable, it’s still a possibility. In this case, the module would convert analog signals from sensors (e.g., voltage or current readings) into digital representations for the DCS controller and vice versa for controlling analog actuators.

Information Needed for Specific Details:

To provide more accurate information about the product name, description, parameters, and specifications, I’d need some additional details:

• Module Appearance: Describe any labels, markings, or indicators present on the module, such as:
  • Part numbers: These can be used to search for specific documentation online.
  • Number of channels: This indicates how many digital or analog input/output signals the module can handle.
  • Voltage and current ratings (if applicable): This specifies the voltage and current requirements or handling capacity of the module.
  • Any other unique characteristics: Describe anything else that stands out about the module’s appearance, such as specific types of connectors.
• Documentation: If you have any accompanying documentation, like user manuals, datasheets, or system configuration details, these can be invaluable for pinpointing the specific variant and providing accurate information.
