Detailed Description:
-
Integrated Functionality: Combines analog input and output functions on one module, saving installation space and cost, and simplifying system configuration.
-
Input Characteristics:
-
4 Analog Input Channels: Each channel independently configurable.
-
Supported Signal Types:
-
Voltage: ±10 V
-
Current: 0 – 20 mA, 4 – 20 mA
-
-
Resolution: 14 bits (including sign)
-
-
Output Characteristics:
-
2 Analog Output Channels: Each channel independently configurable.
-
Supported Signal Types:
-
Voltage: ±10 V
-
Current: 0 – 20 mA, 4 – 20 mA
-
-
Resolution: 14 bits (including sign)
-
-
Diagnostic Functions: The analog output channels support short-circuit diagnosis (for voltage output) and wire-break diagnosis (for current output); the analog input channels support basic diagnostics like overrange.
-
Flexible and Compact: The module has a width of only 35 mm and is mounted to the right side of the CPU or other modules via an integrated U-type connector, allowing for easy expansion. All parameters are configured via TIA Portal software.
-
Application Scenarios: Suitable for small process control systems such as constant pressure water supply, temperature control, batching systems, etc., where reading multiple analog sensors (e.g., pressure, temperature) and outputting analog control signals (e.g., to control valves, speed setpoints for frequency converters) are required simultaneously.
