Analog output module for compact controllers, 4AO, 12bit resolution, Screw terminals XBF-DC04A

Analog Output Module for LS Electric Controllers

This analog output module, designed for LS Electric XGB compact controllers, expands the capabilities of automation systems with precise control of devices requiring a current signal. It offers four independent output channels, allowing simultaneous control of multiple actuators. It is a versatile solution for both professional installers and end-users who need a flexible control system.

Characteristics and application

The XBF-DC04A module enables the generation of current signals in the range of 0-20 mA and 4-20 mA, making it ideal for controlling proportional valves, frequency converters, PID controllers and other industrial devices. The 12-bit resolution ensures high precision of the output signal – only 5µA per step. Connection is made using screw terminals, which simplifies integration with existing infrastructure. The module requires an external 24 VDC power supply.

Key features and benefits

• Versatility: Support for 0-20 mA and 4-20 mA signals allows adaptation to various applications and devices.
• Precision: 12-bit resolution ensures accurate control of industrial processes.
• Easy installation: Screw terminals facilitate connection to existing wiring.
• Solid construction: Ensures reliable operation in harsh industrial conditions – resistance to vibration and electromagnetic interference (compliance with IEC 61131-3-2 standards).
• Compatibility: Designed to work with LS Electric STANDARD, HIGH and ULTRA series controllers.
• Galvanic isolation: It has optical isolation between the input and the PLC power supply, increasing system safety. No isolation between output channels.
• Wide operating temperature range: Enables operation at temperatures from 0°C to 55°C.
• Low power consumption: Internal current consumption is 110mA (5VDC), and external 120mA (24VDC).

Technical parameters and operating environment

The XBF-DC04A module is designed to operate in an industrial environment characterized by variable conditions. It is resistant to vibration (frequency 5-8.4 Hz) and electromagnetic interference (compliance with IEC standards). The operating temperature range is from 0°C to 55°C, and storage from -25°C to 70°C. The relative humidity of the air should be maintained in the range of 5% to 95% without condensation. The maximum altitude above sea level is 2000m. It is recommended to use shielded multi-core cables with a cross-section of AWG22 (0.3mm²) or larger and screw terminals with a size of 2.5mm. Avoid routing cables near heat sources or chemicals that could damage the wire insulation.
