The DeltaV system supports the I.S. AO, 8-channel, 4-20 mA card and the I.S. AO, 8-channel, 4-20 mA, HART card.
The I.S. 8-channel terminal block is recommended to provide screw terminations for field wiring for the HART and non-HART versions of the I.S. AO, 8-channel, 4-20 mA card. An optional block is the I.S. loop disconnect 8-channel terminal block.
