I. Overview
Metso A413381 is an intelligent signal processing module. Serving as the "signal hub" in industrial control systems, its core function is to achieve accurate collection, filtering processing, protocol conversion, and command transmission of on-site sensor signals. It is widely used in heavy industrial scenarios with high requirements for signal stability and anti-interference capability, such as mining crushing and screening equipment, cement production lines, metallurgical smelting process control, papermaking industry pulping processes, and chemical raw material conveying systems.
The module adopts a hybrid housing design of high-strength engineering plastic and metal, with an IP65 protection rating, enabling it to operate continuously and stably in a wide temperature range from -30°C to +75°C. Meanwhile, it has passed the IEC 61010-1 electrical safety certification and IEC 61326-1 electromagnetic compatibility certification, which can effectively resist dust erosion, mechanical vibration, and strong electromagnetic interference in industrial sites, providing key signal support for the continuous and reliable operation of material handling and industrial process control. In addition, this module is compatible with Metso DNA control systems and mainstream third-party DCS systems (such as Siemens PCS 7, Rockwell ControlLogix), enabling seamless integration with existing industrial automation systems and reducing the difficulty of system upgrading and transformation.

III. Functional Features
1. High-Precision Signal Processing and Anti-Interference Capability
The module has a built-in 24-bit high-precision ADC (Analog-to-Digital Converter) and DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converter). Combined with Metso's dedicated signal filtering algorithm, it can effectively suppress electromagnetic interference in industrial sites (such as harmonic interference generated by the start-stop of high-power motors and the operation of frequency converters), and control the analog signal collection error within ±0.05% FS. For example, in the pressure monitoring of mining crushing equipment, it can accurately capture the pressure changes of the hydraulic system, ensuring stable crushing force and avoiding equipment overload or incomplete material crushing caused by pressure detection deviations. At the same time, the module adopts photoelectric isolation technology to realize electrical isolation between input/output signals and the internal circuit, further improving anti-interference performance and ensuring signal transmission stability.
2. Flexible Multi-System Compatibility and Networking Capability
It supports mainstream industrial communication protocols such as Modbus-TCP, Profinet, and Modbus-RTU, and can be seamlessly connected to Metso DNA control systems, third-party DCS systems, and PLC equipment without additional protocol conversion modules, reducing system integration costs. The Ethernet port supports network redundancy function; when the main communication link fails, it can automatically switch to the backup link within ≤100ms, ensuring the continuity of data transmission and avoiding industrial process stagnation caused by communication interruption. In addition, on-site instruments or remote I/O modules can be connected through RS485 serial ports to expand the scope of signal collection and control, adapting to the distributed control needs of large-scale industrial scenarios.
3. Comprehensive Fault Diagnosis and Safety Protection
It has a built-in complete fault diagnosis system that can real-time monitor the module's own power supply status, communication links, input/output channels, and the operation of externally connected equipment. When abnormalities such as signal loss, collected data exceeding the range, communication interruption, module overheating, or output short circuit are detected, it will immediately trigger local sound and light alarms (red fault light flashing + buzzer prompt), and send detailed fault information (including fault type, fault location, and fault occurrence time) to the upper computer through the communication interface. At the same time, it will automatically switch the output channel to the preset safe state (such as turning off the solenoid valve, stopping the motor drive signal) to minimize the risk of safety accidents. In addition, the module has an automatic parameter backup function, which regularly backs up configuration parameters through Flash memory. Even in case of accidental power failure or factory reset, the parameters can be quickly restored, avoiding system re-debugging.
4. Strong Environmental Adaptability and High Reliability
With an IP65 protection rating and a wide operating temperature range from -30°C to +75°C, the module can operate stably in harsh industrial environments such as mining dust, high humidity in cement production, and high temperature in metallurgy, without the need for additional protective boxes or temperature control equipment, reducing system deployment costs. The housing is made of PA66 + glass fiber engineering plastic, which has excellent impact resistance (able to withstand a 1.5m drop without damage). Combined with the aluminum alloy heat sink design, it can quickly dissipate the heat generated by the module during operation, avoiding performance degradation caused by high temperature. The internal components are all high-quality industrial-grade products, which have undergone strict high-low temperature cycle, vibration, and impact tests. The Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) is ≥50,000 hours, which can meet the 24-hour continuous operation needs of industrial sites and greatly reduce equipment downtime for maintenance.
5. Convenient Configuration and Remote Management
It is equipped with Metso Control Tool, a dedicated configuration software for Metso, which supports graphical interface operation. Users can complete operations such as signal parameter configuration (e.g., input signal type, range), sampling cycle setting, communication protocol selection, and fault threshold setting through the software. The software also has a built-in signal calibration function, which can calibrate the module's collection accuracy without professional calibration equipment, making the operation simple and convenient. In addition, the module supports remote access and management. Maintenance personnel can remotely view the module's operating status (such as input/output data, temperature, voltage), download historical fault logs, and even modify parameters and upgrade firmware remotely through Ethernet, without on-site operations, reducing maintenance costs and downtime.
