MOD-8AO

Industrial expansion module, 8 analog universal outputs on Modbus RTU, with RS485 interface.

Features:

• OUTPUT: 8 analogue outputs, universal
• INPUT: Interface RS485: Modbus (ASCII, RTU)
• Voltage outputs support: 0 - 10V
• Current outputs support: 0-20mA, 4-20mA
• Each channel can be freely set as a voltage or current output
• LEDs for signaling the status of the outputs
• Large, convenient cable connectors (up to 2.5 mm2)
• 1000V galvanic isolation between RS485 interface, power supply and outputs
• 2 years warranty
• Made in Poland

The 8AO module has 8 analog outputs that can operate as a current output (0-20mA, 4-20mA) or a voltage output (0-10V). Voltage or output current is set using the RS485 bus (Modbus protocol), so you can easily integrate the module with popular PLCs, HMIs, or PCs with appropriate adapters.

The module communicates with all commercially available PLCs, devices that support the popular MODBUS MASTER protocol.

This module is connected to the RS485 bus via two wire twisted pair. Communication is made using the MODBUS RTU or MODBUS ASCII protocol. The use of a 32-bit ARM core processor provides fast data processing and fast communication. The transmission speed is configurable from 2400 to 115200.

The module is designed for mounting on DIN rail according to DIN EN 5002.

The module is equipped with a set of LEDs, used to indicate the status of outputs, useful for diagnostic purposes and help to find errors.

Configuration of the module is done via USB with a dedicated computer program. It is also possible to change parameters using the MODBUS protocol.

SLIM modules can be easily connected to each other via the Quick Connector. Just supply the module and RS485 power to the first module. With the MOD-QC tape, both values will be passed to the next modules.

Available accessories:

• Switching tape: MOD-QC
• Programming cable: mini USB
