Information

Overview Manuals Common Applications Product Precautions
GE 8103AI-TX converts eight process-current loops to Railbus data and applies channel alarms, filtering and selectable failsafe handling before the values reach the controller. Field-terminal choice determines the approved two-wire or four-wire connection arrangement.
  • 8 single-ended 4–20 mA channels
  • 16-bit conversion and ±0.1% span accuracy
  • Open-circuit and overrange detection
  • 27 ms maximum signal-to-Railbus response

The engineered signal path is 2-wire or 4-wire transmitter → 8103AI-TX channel conditioning → A/D conversion and Railbus → PAC8000 controller processing. Commission each boundary against the controlled project record.

Important Notice: Match the installed nameplate 8103AI-TX to the official catalog identity 8103-AI-TX before configuration.

The Technical Reference consolidates verified engineering data for GE 8103AI-TX. The separate Installation & Commissioning Guide covers controlled field work and acceptance evidence.

General process transmitters
Acquires pressure, flow, level or temperature current signals.
Two-wire loop systems
Powers and measures transmitters through approved terminal assemblies.
Four-wire instruments
Accepts externally powered current outputs through the documented terminals.
PAC8000 remote I/O
Publishes measurements and channel diagnostics over Railbus.
Apply these controls specifically to GE 8103AI-TX before isolation, replacement, reconnection, energization and final release.
1
Match the installed nameplate 8103AI-TX to the official catalog identity 8103-AI-TX before configuration.
2
Use only a compatible field terminal for the selected two-wire or four-wire transmitter arrangement.
3
Provide 24 VDC bussed field power within the documented ±10% range.
4
Do not assume channel-to-channel isolation; the specification states none between channels.
5
Keep loop current within the 1–23 mA full signal range during normal operation.
6
Configure high, high-high, low and low-low alarms to the engineering range rather than the raw current only.
7
Set the input filter and failsafe direction to match the process hazard analysis.
8
Commission every channel with a loop calibrator and verify accuracy, line-fault thresholds, alarms and Railbus quality.

Technical notes

GE 8103AI-TX is the cataloged 8103-AI-TX PAC8000 module for eight single-ended 4–20 mA transmitter inputs.

FAQ View All FAQ

  • How many input channels are available on GE 8103AI-TX?
    The module provides eight single-ended 4–20 mA analog input channels.
  • Why is GE 8103AI-TX also written as 8103-AI-TX?
    8103-AI-TX is the punctuation used in the official PAC8000 catalog for the same complete order identity.
  • Which transmitter types can GE 8103AI-TX accept?
    It supports two-wire and four-wire current transmitters with the corresponding approved field terminal.
  • What is the full measurement range of GE 8103AI-TX?
    The documented full signal range is 1–23 mA around the nominal 4–20 mA span.
  • How does GE 8103AI-TX detect line faults?
    Current below 0.5 mA indicates an open/low fault and current above 23.5 mA indicates a short/overrange condition.
  • What is the resolution of GE 8103AI-TX?
    The conversion resolution is 16 bits with accuracy specified at ±0.1% of span.
  • Are GE 8103AI-TX channels isolated from one another?
    No. The specification states 100 VAC channel-to-Railbus isolation and no isolation between channels.
  • How should GE 8103AI-TX be commissioned?
    Inject traceable loop currents at each input and verify raw value, scaling, alarm thresholds, filtering, line-fault detection and failsafe behavior.
