GE WESDAC D20A
Manufacturer: GE (Westinghouse/Emerson)
Part No: WESDAC D20A
Type: Analog Input Module (AI)
Status: DCS data acquisition & control module
1. General Description
The GE WESDAC D20A is a high-performance analog input module for the WESDAC/WDPF distributed control system (DCS). Paired with the WESTERM D20A termination base, it acquires and conditions field analog signals, transmitting data to the main D20 processor. It supports multiple sensor types with built-in surge protection and channel isolation for high reliability in harsh industrial environments{insert\_element\_0\_}.
