Key Features

• 4 independent analog output channels
• Each channel configurable as voltage or current output
• High resolution (16-bit precision DAC)
• Stable output for process control loops
• Fast response suitable for PID control
• Fully integrated with Studio 5000

Working Principle

The module converts PLC numerical values into analog signals:

• PLC sends engineering value (0–100%)
• Module scales it into:
  • 0–10V / ±10V OR
  • 4–20mA loop current

Then used to control:

• VFD speed reference
• Control valves
• Actuators / positioners

Advantages

• Flexible voltage or current output per channel
• High precision and stable control
• Easy scaling in Rockwell Studio 5000
• Reliable industrial-grade output stability
• Suitable for closed-loop process control

Applications

• VFD frequency reference control
• Flow / pressure control valves
• Heater or actuator control
• Process automation systems
• OEM machine control
• Water / chemical treatment systems
