Product Description
The part number 3AM374.6 is an advanced analog mixed mode developed by B&R and used for various industrial automation processes. This module also falls under the B&R System 2005 and has been recognized for the high flexibility it offers coupled with high performance. It has four analog inputs/ four analog outputs with a communication range of 0-10V or 0-20 mA where signals can be grouped in pairs to increase the versatility of a variety of controls in different applications.
Among the points of interest posed by the 3AM374. 6, there is one that arouses the most curiosity. It combines 12 bits (1024 steps) for input and output signals, providing a high level of signal processing clarity. The module can be installed in both the primary and secondary chassis of the rack making it possible to interconnect it with other systems. Also, it has electrical isolation between the channels and the PLC to boost safety and minimize interferences. In the aspect of its ability, the module is capable of providing a converted time of less than 1 ms when used in normal and special operating modes with the possibility of averaging that increases the converted time to 1. 5 ms. The energy consumption of this device is low, its maximum being 1. 5 Watt at 5 volts and another 5 Watt at 24 volts; it can therefore take up to 6. 5 W. This efficiency is imperative for keeping the energy expenses within an acceptable range and for achieving stable persistent functioning. The input signals for the 3AM374. 6 are programmable with a range of 0 to + 10 V and a max range of - 20 V to + 20 V that follows a successive approximation conversion technique to achieve an estimated higher accuracy than in previous models using 12 bits for digital conversion. It is also possible to choose between ~10 V and 0-20 mA output signals, which further expands the possibility of connecting various industrial devices.
The module is provided with low-pass input filters, and its accuracy is not less than ~0. 1% at 25 degrees C, which is considered a relatively low deviation and allows for accurate measurements. The module contains input/output controls such as direct software timing and includes optional averaging for certain tasks, making it versatile in control functions. Measuring only 50mm wide by 100mm high by 25mm deep and weighing just 260 grams it can easily be installed in control cabinets and serviced, fitting the needs of engineers who seek to optimize their Industrial Automation solutions. The product is available at Wake Industrial with a one-year warranty period.
