- Damper and valve positioning in HVAC systems
Material Composition:
- PCB: 4-layer FR-4 with ground plane
- Output Drivers: Precision operational amplifiers with current limiting
- Connectors: Gold-plated Eurocard terminals
- Enclosure: EMI-shielded aluminum housing
Working Principle: The CPU sends a 16-bit digital value via the backplane. The module’s D/A converter translates this into an analog voltage, which is then conditioned by an output driver circuit to produce the final current or voltage signal. Output hold circuits maintain the last value during communication loss. Installation Requirements:
- Shielded twisted pair wiring for current outputs
- For 4–20 mA: ensure loop power supply is within 12–36 VDC
- Terminate unused channels with recommended jumpers
Usage Precautions:
- Do not short-circuit voltage outputs
- Verify output range matches field device requirements
- Test each channel individually during commissioning
