Working Principle PLC CPU writes digital setpoint values to the module via backplane bus. The onboard DAC chips convert digital values to 4-20mA analog current signals for each channel. The module continuously monitors output loop current to detect short circuit or open loop condition. Fault status is transmitted back to PLC CPU for alarm handling. Isolation components block field side surge and noise to protect PLC backplane circuit.

Installation Requirements

  • Insert module into DL405 PLC rack mounted on DIN rail.
  • Use shielded twisted pair cable for analog output field wiring.
  • Separate analog signal cables from high-current power cables.
  • Connect 24VDC field supply and protective earth wire.
  • Configure channel output range in PLC programming software.
  • Perform output calibration and signal measurement test after installation.
  • Verify backplane bus connection before power energization.

Usage Notes

  • Do not apply voltage exceeding rated specification to output terminals.
  • Do not remove module while rack power remains active.
  • Keep cabinet dry and free of conductive dust.
  • Check terminal tightness periodically under vibration environment.
  • Backup PLC program before modifying analog channel configuration.
  • Disconnect field wiring before insulation resistance test.
  • Replace module if channel output drift exceeds specification.
