Product Description

The Analog Output Module serves as the interface for converting digital process values calculated by the Central Control Module (CPU) into continuous, proportional electrical signals. These signals are used to command analog actuators in the field, enabling precise, variable control over critical process parameters.

The module incorporates a Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) to transform the controller’s digital value (e.g., 0 to 27648) into a corresponding physical output signal (e.g., 4 to 20mA). These modules are essential for any control loop requiring smooth, stepless regulation, such as flow, speed, intensity, or position control. They ensure high accuracy and stability under typical industrial operating conditions.

Product Parameters

Key specifications defining an Analog Output Module’s performance include:

• Channel Count: The number of independent, controllable output channels (e.g., 2, 4, or 8 outputs).
• Output Ranges: The supported physical signal types and ranges, typically covering both current and voltage:
  • Current: $0text{ to }20text{ mA}$, $4text{ to }20text{ mA}$, $pm 20text{ mA}$.
  • Voltage: $0text{ to }10text{ V}$, $1text{ to }5text{ V}$, $pm 10text{ V}$.
• Resolution: The precision of the output signal, commonly $15text{ to }16text{ bits}$, which determines the smallest incremental change that can be commanded.
• Accuracy: The maximum deviation of the actual output signal from the commanded value, usually expressed as a percentage of the full-scale value.
• Load Impedance: The range of electrical loads (e.g., resistance for current outputs) that the module can successfully drive.
• Response to CPU Stop: Configurable behavior (e.g., setting to a predefined substitute value, going to zero, or holding the last value) in case of a communication or CPU failure.

Product Advantages

• Precise Control: High resolution and low linearity error ensure exact and smooth regulation of analog actuators, which is vital for product quality and process efficiency.
• Universal Applicability: Many modules offer universal configuration, allowing channels to be individually set for current or voltage output, reducing the number of spare parts needed.
• Advanced Diagnostics: Supports channel-specific diagnostics, including monitoring for wire breaks, short circuits, and overflow/underflow errors in the signal range.
• Integrated Calibration: Modern modules often include a feature for calibration or adjustment during runtime, allowing maintenance personnel to tune the output signal without interrupting the production process.
• Configurable Safety States: The ability to define substitute values on channel failure or CPU stop allows for controlled and predictable shutdown sequences, enhancing operational safety.

Precautions

• Signal Range Matching: Ensure the module’s configured output range (e.g., $4text{ to }20text{ mA}$) perfectly matches the input range required by the connected actuator (e.g., a proportional valve).
• Load Compliance: Verify that the actuator’s impedance is within the permissible load range specified by the module datasheet, especially for current outputs, to prevent damage or inaccurate signaling.
• Wiring and Shielding: Analog signals are sensitive to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Use shielded cables and ensure proper grounding and cable routing practices to maintain signal integrity.
• Isolation: Pay attention to whether the channels are electrically isolated. Isolation protects the module from high voltage differences between channels or ground loops, which can degrade signal quality.
• Startup Procedure: After configuration changes, follow defined procedures to test the “Response to CPU Stop” feature to confirm that critical actuators fail to the desired safe state.

Product Applications

Analog Output Modules are central to regulating continuous industrial processes:

• Variable Speed Drives (VSD/VFD) Control: Providing $0text{ to }10text{ V}$ or $4text{ to }20text{ mA}$ signals to set the speed or torque of AC/DC motor drives.
• Flow and Pressure Control: Modulating the position of proportional valves or dampers to precisely regulate the flow rate of fluids or gases.
• Thermal Regulation: Controlling the output of electric heaters, burners, or cooling systems to maintain a set temperature point in furnaces or climate chambers.
• Positioning Systems: Commanding hydraulic or pneumatic positioners and servo drives that accept an analog command signal.
