Introduction to 2AO300.6 B&R

Product Description

Product Parameters

• Number of Output Channels: 2 independent analog output channels, allowing for simultaneous control of two different devices or processes that require analog signals.
• Output Signal Types: Supports standard analog output signals commonly used in industrial automation, including 0 – 10 V DC and 4 – 20 mA. This versatility enables compatibility with a large number of industrial actuators, valves, and other devices that accept these signal types.
• Resolution: 12 – bit resolution for accurate signal output. This high resolution ensures that small changes in the control signal can be precisely translated into corresponding changes in the output, leading to more accurate control of the connected equipment.
• Linearity Error: Typically less than ±0.1% of full scale, ensuring that the output signal closely follows the ideal linear relationship with the input control signal. This minimizes errors in the control process.
• Update Rate: The module can update the output signals at a high rate, typically in the range of milliseconds, ensuring real – time response to changes in the control system.
• Power Supply: Usually operates on a 24 V DC power supply, which is a standard power source in industrial automation environments, making integration into existing systems convenient.

Product Specifications

• Dimensions: The module has a compact design with dimensions approximately [X] mm in width, [Y] mm in height, and [Z] mm in depth (specific values depend on the exact housing design). This compact size saves space in control cabinets, allowing for more efficient use of installation space.
• Operating Temperature Range: Can operate reliably within a temperature range of – 25°C to + 60°C. This wide range ensures that the module can function properly in various industrial settings, from cold storage facilities to high – temperature manufacturing plants.
• Storage Temperature Range: For storage purposes, it can withstand temperatures from – 40°C to + 85°C, ensuring the module remains in good condition during transportation and long – term storage.
• Humidity Resistance: Designed to resist humidity, with an operating relative humidity range of 5% to 95% (non – condensing). This prevents damage from moisture in humid industrial environments.
• Protection Ratings: May have protection features such as short – circuit protection on the output channels to prevent damage to the module in case of a short circuit in the connected equipment. It may also have overvoltage protection to safeguard against voltage spikes.
