Key Features & Advantages

The **Metso IOP324** is an advanced I/O processor module designed for large-scale industrial automation. Features quad-core processing for deterministic control cycles (≤20 ms) and seamless integration with Metso’s DNA distributed control systems. Supports redundant communication paths and hot-swappable I/O cards for fault-tolerant operation. Built-in diagnostics monitor signal integrity, module temperature, and power supply health. Compatible with Metso DNA Studio for advanced process optimization, batch management, and predictive analytics.

IOP310

Enhanced EMI/RFI shielding (EN 61326) ensures reliability in high-noise environments. Optional conformal coating (IOP324-C variant) protects against humidity and corrosive gases. SIL 2 certified for safety-critical applications like emergency shutdowns.

Applications

**Pulp & paper mills** for distributed Kraft process control. **Power generation** plants managing turbine-generator loops. **Oil refineries** integrating safety instrumented systems (SIS). **Chemical processing** for reactor temperature/pressure cascades. **Water treatment** facilities with SCADA networks. Also deployed in **mineral processing** and **pharmaceutical batch production**.
