Core functions

Analog signal output: It can output 4... 20 mA standard analog signals, which are used to drive devices that require continuous adjustment such as regulating valves, frequency converters, and motor controllers, achieving precise control of industrial processes.

HART communication: Supports HART pass through communication function, facilitating device status monitoring and remote parameter configuration, and improving system management efficiency. Only point-to-point communication is supported, and the channel used for HART communication requires an output filter to be enabled.

Self diagnostic function: Periodically perform self diagnosis, monitor and report multiple faults in real time. External channel errors, such as low output circuit supply voltage, output current less than the set value, and set value greater than 1 mA (open circuit), will be reported (only reported on active channels); Internal channel error, reported when the output circuit cannot provide the correct current value, the redundant centering module will be instructed by the module bus master device to enter an error state; Module errors, including output transistor errors, short circuits, checksum errors, internal power supply errors, status link errors, watchdog or erroneous OSP behavior, will be reported.

Working principle

The control system sends digital signals to the AO845A module, and the digital to analog converter (DAC) inside the module converts the received digital signals into analog signals. Afterwards, the analog signal is output to the external control device through the analog output channel. For example, in a temperature control system, the PLC calculates a control signal based on the difference between the current temperature value and the set temperature, and sends it in digital form to the AO845A module. The AO845A module converts it into a corresponding 4-20 mA analog current signal output to control the working power of the heater and adjust the temperature.

Key advantages

High reliability: Equipped with comprehensive self diagnostic functions and short-circuit protection mechanisms, it can promptly detect and handle faults, ensuring stable operation in complex industrial environments. Through various international certifications such as CE, UL, etc., it meets strict electrical safety standards and can adapt to the safety requirements of different regions and industries.

Flexible compatibility: Supports single redundancy or redundant applications, can be used in conjunction with multiple MTU (module terminal units), suitable for industrial automation systems of different architectures, and has strong universality and compatibility.

Convenient communication: With the help of HART communication technology, seamless integration with various devices can be achieved, facilitating real-time data exchange and device diagnosis, facilitating remote management and maintenance, reducing manual intervention, and improving overall system operation and maintenance efficiency.

Precise control: With a resolution of 12 bits and a maximum error as low as 0.1%, it can accurately output analog signals, meeting the extremely high requirements for control accuracy in industrial application scenarios.
