Product Name:

GE+WESDAC D20 C Module

Product Description:

The D20 C module is a specialized module designed for real-time data collection, process control, and communication within a distributed control system (DCS). It is used for monitoring, controlling, and managing industrial processes through communication with other modules in the system. This module is typically configured to handle a specific set of input/output (I/O) signals, analog and digital, from the field devices such as sensors, actuators, and other process equipment.

The D20 C module plays a critical role in improving system efficiency, reducing operational costs, and enhancing the safety of industrial processes. It is often integrated into larger GE D20 systems that provide a comprehensive solution for automation and control.
