Product Description
The 7AO352.7 is a versatile, industrial-grade analog output module that provides extensive connectivity options for automation systems. With its Ethernet interface and small, screw-in housing, it seamlessly integrates with controllers for sensor signaling and field device actuation. At the core of the 7AO352.7 are 7 independent, 16-bit analog output channels. Each channel can be individually configured for either voltage or current mode on the fly, enabling flexibility. Voltage mode supports ranges up to 0-10V, adjustable precisely down to 10mV increments per channel. For current mode, the module supplies 0-20mA outputs programmable at 20 ?A resolution.
The refined shaping capabilities of the 16-bit channels make the 7AO352.7 well-suited for precision process control applications. Features like customized scaling allow users to map any desired range to the 0-10V or 0-20mA overall span, facilitating simple controller programming with a standardized signal. Integrated watchdog functionality also helps prevent unintentional output drift. With all 7 channels firing simultaneously, the screw-in module maintains low power draw at just 250mA. It accepts a standard 24V DC input, avoiding the need for external power conditioning hardware. The industrial operating temperature range and vibration resistance provide reliable performance in demanding environments.
On the question of connectivity, the 7AO352.7 really excels. It natively interfaces over Ethernet to Automation Studio controllers for streamlined configuration, control, and monitoring. The high-speed network architecture makes simultaneous adjustment of multiple outputs straightforward. Minor firmware updates can even unlock additional capabilities down the line.
