The AO-8 and AO-8-H Central IO modules are analog output, 8-channel I/O modules.
Each device can detect its order in the chain of connected devices and assigns itself an address accordingly. This auto-addressing feature is provided by the terminal base backplane.
The devices are designed mainly for installing on DIN rails in a cabinet.
You install a terminal base on a horizontal DIN-rail prior to connecting it to its neighboring terminal bases.
The I/O bus imposes restrictions on the number of devices that can be connected to the bus and what type of devices that are allowed on certain positions.
The I/O bus consists of the following parts:
Use the power budget to calculate the maximum number of devices that the power supply can supply. If more devices are used, additional power supplies must be added to the I/O bus.
The terminal bases are used for SpaceLogic devices that are based on the patented two-piece design. The terminal base provides the I/O bus to the electronics module installed on the terminal base as well as to the SpaceLogic device installed to the right (next terminal base in the chain).
The I/O bus is a common bus that delivers power, address information, and communication to all devices connected to the bus. The I/O bus is provided to the devices through the backplane in the terminal bases. The term I/O bus also denotes the chain of devices that are connected together.
Output modules support a number of electrical types, such as digital, tristate, and digital/tristate pulsed outputs, or analog outputs. The available output modules include the following:
