Functional Description
The Kongsberg RAi-16xe is a rugged remote analog input module designed for marine, offshore, and industrial automation applications. It provides high-precision acquisition of analog sensor signals, with full channel isolation to prevent cross-talk and ensure reliable operation in harsh electromagnetic environments.
This module integrates seamlessly with Kongsberg's Integrated Automation System (IAS) and third-party PLC/DCS systems, supporting hot-swappable installation for minimal downtime during maintenance. It features built-in self-diagnostics and status indication, making it ideal for critical applications such as vessel monitoring, oil & gas platform control, and process automation.

Installation Notes
- Mount the module in a DIN rail enclosure (EN 50022) with proper ventilation for heat dissipation.
- Use shielded twisted-pair cables for analog inputs and ground the shield at one end only.
- Verify power supply polarity before connection to avoid module damage.
- Configure input ranges (current/voltage) via Kongsberg Configuration Tool before commissioning.
- Ensure proper grounding in accordance with marine/industrial electrical standards (IEC 60092).
- Perform calibration with certified reference instruments annually to maintain accuracy.
- Do not expose the module to excessive moisture or corrosive gases (use corrosion-resistant coating for marine environments).
