Output modules support a number of electrical types, such as digital, tristate, and pulsed digital 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 I/O module is a digital output, Form A relay, 12-channel I/O module.
The supported output types include the following:
Digital Form A
Tristate
The Form-A relays in the DO-FA-12 are designed for direct load applications for up to 2 A loads. For more information, see DO-FA-12 and DO-FA-12-H I/O Modules .
The DO-FC-8 I/O module is a digital output, Form C relay, 8-channel I/O module.
The supported output types include the following:
Digital Form C
Tristate
The Form-C relays in the DO-FC-8 are designed for direct load applications for up to 3 A loads. For more information, see DO-FC-8 and DO-FC-8-H I/O Modules .
The AO-8 is an analog output, 8-channel I/O module. 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 controls 0-10 VDC outputs, the module supports a wide range of devices, such as valves and actuators. You can use the AO-8 to drive 0-20 mA currents on any of its eight channels. For more information, see AO-8 and AO-8-H I/O Modules .
The AO-V-8 I/O module is an analog output, 8-channel I/O module that contains only voltage outputs.
The supported output type is Voltage 0–10 VDC, so the AO-V-8 supports a wide range of devices, such as valves and actuators. For more information, see AO-V-8 and AO-V-8-H I/O Modules .
