Product Description

The SIEMENS Analog Output (AQ) Module functions as a Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) interface, translating the digital control values calculated by the Central Processing Unit (CPU) into continuous, standardized analog electrical signals. These signals are used to modulate and control actuators that require variable input, ensuring precise and fine-tuned control over process variables.

Analog output modules typically support standard signal ranges for voltage (e.g., V) and current (e.g., mA). They are designed for high precision, low noise, and configurable diagnostics, ensuring reliable control in process automation and complex machinery.

Product Parameters

Key parameters defining an Analog Output Module’s capability include:

• Number of Channels: The quantity of independent output points per module (e.g., 2, 4, 8 channels).
• Output Ranges: The configurable standard signals supported:
  • Current: $0$ to $20$ mA, $4$ to $20$ mA, $\pm 20$ mA.
  • Voltage: $0$ to $10$ V, $1$ to $5$ V, $\pm 10$ V.
• Resolution: The granularity of the output signal (e.g., 12-bit, 16-bit). Higher resolution means finer control.
• Accuracy/Linearity: The maximum deviation of the actual output value from the ideal value, usually expressed as a percentage of the full-scale value.
• Isolation: Electrical isolation (galvanic separation) between channels, output groups, and the backplane to prevent electrical interference.
• Load Drive Capability: The maximum external load (resistance) that the module can reliably drive, especially for current outputs (e.g., RL​≤500 $\Omega$).
• Diagnostics: Configurable monitoring features (e.g., wire break detection for current loops, short-circuit monitoring, and output range limit checks).

Product Advantages

1. High Precision Control: High resolution (e.g., 16-bit) and excellent accuracy ensure precise manipulation of actuators and tight control over process parameters.
2. Configurable Flexibility: The ability to configure output range (Voltage/Current) and parameters (e.g., substitute values) on a channel-by-channel basis offers high adaptability to various field devices.
3. Enhanced Diagnostics: Integrated wire break detection for current loops and short-circuit monitoring simplify maintenance and ensure rapid fault localization, increasing plant availability.
4. Signal Integrity: Robust design and electrical isolation minimize noise interference, preserving the integrity of the critical control signal.
5. Defined Fail Behavior: Configurable reaction to a CPU STOP or module error (e.g., holding the last value, setting a substitute value, or setting the output to zero) ensures safe process shutdown or controlled degradation.

Precautions

• Wiring and Shielding: Use properly shielded cables for analog signals and ensure the shield is connected correctly to the designated shield terminal on the module to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMC).
• Load Compliance: Verify that the resistance of the connected actuator (load) and wiring falls within the module’s specified load drive limits. Exceeding this limit can cause inaccurate output or module damage.
• Power Supply: Ensure the required power supply voltage for the module is stable and within the permissible range.
• Grounding: Maintain proper grounding practices to avoid ground loops, which can introduce significant errors into analog signals.
• Environmental Protection: Operate the module within the specified ambient temperature and humidity conditions to ensure the guaranteed accuracy is maintained.

Product Applications

Analog Output Modules are essential for continuous, modulating control tasks across all major industries:

• Process Control: Controlling flow rates by adjusting proportional valves, regulating temperature via heating/cooling elements, or setting pressure control loops.
• Motion Control: Sending speed or torque setpoints to variable frequency drives (VFDs) or servo controllers to manage motors.
• Dosing and Mixing: Precisely controlling chemical metering pumps or mass flow controllers in proportion to process needs.
• HVAC and Building Automation: Modulating dampers, fan speeds, and chilled water valves to maintain climate control.
• Testing and Simulation: Generating precise voltage or current signals for testing and calibration of sensors and other instrumentation.
