b.

The vendor shall describe the functionality,  characteristics and method of implementation of the  interface and
the protocols supported or proposed to be supported by the analog input subsystem.
c. The analog input subsystem shall be comprised of  analog multiplexers and Analog to Digital Converters (ADC).
The multiplexers shall provide scaling, filtering,  transient protection and switching of the analog input  signals to
the ADC. The ADCs shall receive the analog signals from the multiplexer and convert them to digital  representation.
d. The input ranges to the analog input subsystem shall be  flexible and include as a minimum, the following:
(i) 4 to 20 mA
(ii) -5 to +5 V
(iii) -10 to +10 V
(iv) Digital field bus signals

8.4.1.17 Contact (Digital) Input Subsystem

a. The contact input subsystem shall provide the functionality to monitor normally open and normally closed,
voltage-free contacts to indicate status  information.
b. The contact input subsystem shall include:
(i) The contact wetting supply voltage source
(ii) The input modules connecting to the field wiring
(iii) The RTU logic and memory buffers to process  status changes
(iv) Contact debounce filtering
c. The contact input subsystem shall support:
(i) Detection of momentary changes of state
(ii) Detection of permanent changes of state
(iii) Optical isolation of inputs

8.4.1.18 Analog Output Subsystem

a. The analog output subsystem (for setpoint adjustment
