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:
DO-FA-12 and DO-FA-12-H
DO-FC-8 and DO-FC-8-H
AO-8 and AO-8-H
AO-V-8 and AO-V-8-H
Module names with an -H indicate the presence of Hand-Off-Auto override switches.
The DO-FA-12 and DO-FA-12-H Central IO modules are digital output, Form A relay, 12-channel I/O modules.
The supported output types include the following:
Digital Form A
Tristate
The Form-A relays in the DO-FA-12 and DO-FA-12-H modules are designed for direct load applications for up to 2 A loads. For more information, see DO-FA-12 and DO-FA-12-H Central IO Modules .
The DO-FC-8 and DO-FC-8-H Central IO modules are digital output, Form C relay, 8-channel I/O modules.
The supported output types include the following:
Digital Form C
Tristate
The Form-C relays in the DO-FC-8 and DO-FC-8-H modules are designed for direct load applications for up to 3 A loads. For more information, see DO-FC-8 and DO-FC-8-H Central IO Modules .
The AO-8 and AO-8-H Central IO modules are analog output, 8-channel I/O modules. Each channel contains both voltage and current outputs.
The following output types are supported:
Voltage 0–10 VDC
Current 0–20 mA
Since the AO-8 and AO-8-H modules control 0-10 VDC outputs, the modules support a wide range of devices, such as valves and actuators. You can use the AO-8 and AO-8-H modules to drive 0-20 mA currents on any of its eight channels. For more information, see AO-8 and AO-8-H Central IO Modules .
The AO-V-8 and AO-V-8-H Central IO modules are analog output, 8-channel I/O modules that contain only voltage outputs.
The supported output type is Voltage 0–10 VDC, so the AO-V-8 and AO-V-8-H modules support a wide range of devices, such as valves and actuators. For more information, see AO-V-8 and AO-V-8-H Central IO Modules .
