Product Description

The X20AO4632 module is the newest contribution to the X20 series offered by B&R Automation and is designed to provide accurate and stable analog output. This module has four analog outputs that can handle voltage signals in the form of ~10 V or current signals in the form of 0 to 20 mA. This is because such versatility makes it possible to use it in a large number of industrial control systems.

The X20AO4632 features a digital converter that runs at a 16-bit resolution to guarantee the reliability of its output data. This high level of resolution is used in intricate automation tasks where a high level of accuracy is required. The module also has the status indicators for the I/O function per channel, operating state, and overall status of the module and these help in the identification process. The power consumption is also well optimized, with this module using only 0. 01 W from the bus. Internal I/O power consumption varies with the module revision: 1. 8 W for revisions J0 and above, and 2. 2 W for earlier revisions. Such efficient power utilization enhances the energy conversion efficiency of the module, hence improving its cost of operation. The X20AO4632 shows a very good result when compared to the previous models in the area of the accuracy of the current and voltage gains of 0. 09% and 0. 04%, respectively, at 25 degrees C. In the same way, current and voltage offsets remain at 0. 045% and 0. 022%, respectively.

The conversion time is remarkable at 50 us for all outputs, which ensures that the module performs well in dynamic scenarios. Some of the safety measures include short circuit protection and an isolation voltage of 500 V between each channel and the bus to ensure the module's safety and reliability. The level of protection offered by the module is an IP20 which means that it cannot be exposed to water but is safe from contact with solids. The product is available at Wake Industrial with a one-year warranty period.
