The available part records repeatedly identify A413240A as a PIC2 board and associate it with 65425667A. A separate surplus listing identifies an A413240A10 variant as a discontinued PIC2 printed-circuit-board assembly, which is another reason to verify the complete suffix before treating variants as interchangeable.
Several secondary pages give substantially different descriptions, including a remote-I/O acquisition module and a generic programmable controller. Those descriptions are not consistent enough to support detailed channel counts, 24 VDC supply claims, or a specific fieldbus protocol for A413240A.
Product Introduction
The Metso Valmet A413240A is identified as a PIC2 printed-circuit-board assembly used within Metso/Valmet industrial automation equipment. Its role should be understood at the system level: this is a board-level control/interface component rather than a conventional standalone PLC I/O module with independently documented channel specifications.
For replacement work, the complete board marking is more important than the basic A413240 designation. Hardware revision, associated part number, mating connectors, host controller or machine, and the installed application configuration should all be compared before installation.

Application Scenarios & Field Pitfalls — Engineer’s Perspective
Engineering Pain Point
A failed PIC2 board can produce system-level control or communication symptoms that resemble a problem elsewhere in the machine. Because this is a board-level assembly, replacing it without confirming the host equipment and revision can create a second fault instead of resolving the original one.
Typical Applications
- Metso/Valmet industrial automation systems
- Legacy process and machinery control equipment
- Metso automation controller and interface assemblies
- Board-level replacement and maintenance of installed Metso hardware
Technical Pitfalls to Avoid
- Do not classify A413240A as a generic analog or digital I/O module.
The strongest available identification is board / PCB assembly. The available evidence does not establish a conventional channel count or universal I/O function. - Do not rely on generic 24 VDC or fieldbus specifications from reseller pages.
One source describes the part as an enhanced remote-I/O module with 24 VDC and a proprietary DNA fieldbus, while another identifies it as a board. That conflict is too significant to treat those electrical specifications as verified. - Verify the complete part number and board revision.
, A413240, and variants such as A413240A10 should not automatically be considered interchangeable. A discontinued A413240A10 is separately listed as a PCB assembly, demonstrating that the suffix can matter for procurement. - Identify the host machine before installing a spare.
Board-level Metso hardware can depend on its mating backplane, firmware, connectors, configuration files, and machine-specific application. A physically compatible board is not necessarily a functionally compatible replacement.

- Metso/Valmet A413240A10 — PCB assembly variant; discontinued listing indicates that exact suffix matters.
- Metso/Valmet A413230 — Metso automation hardware listed in the same A4132xx family; functional compatibility must be verified.
- Metso/Valmet A413043 — Another Metso/Valmet CPU/control board designation; not an automatic substitute.
- Metso/Valmet A413044 — Related controller-board hardware appearing in the same legacy automation family.
- Metso IOP351 — Metso/Valmet relay output module; an I/O component rather than the board.
- Metso IOP331 — Metso/Valmet I/O module with a different hardware function.
- Metso IOP382 — Metso/Valmet PLC rack hardware; provides the mounting/system architecture rather than replacing a PCB.
Procurement Check
Before approving a replacement, verify:
- Exact board marking:
- Associated part number: 65425667A, if present
- Complete suffix and revision
- PCB revision / version marking
- Host Metso or Valmet equipment
- Backplane or rack position
- Mating connectors and cables
- Firmware or application image
- Existing system configuration
- Power requirements from the original cabinet documentation
- Communication interfaces from the original system drawing
- Physical board layout and connector arrangement
- Whether the replacement is new, surplus, repaired, or previously installed
Recommended procurement description:
Metso Valmet Printed Circuit Board Assembly, Industrial Automation Control/Interface Board, Associated Part Number 65425667A, Legacy Metso/Valmet System Spare.
The important procurement point is not to over-specify this board from unreliable reseller data. The available evidence supports identifying , but detailed voltage, I/O, protocol, and environmental specifications should be taken from the installed system documentation or the original PCB nameplate before they are treated as engineering specifications.
