The RELIANCE 57C410A is a high-precision isolated analog output module designed for industrial automation systems, particularly the AutoMax distributed control platform. It converts digital signals from a PLC or controller into analog voltage/current outputs to regulate actuators, valves, or other analog devices. Below is a detailed breakdown based on technical specifications and industry documentation:
- Output Channels: 4 isolated analog output channels
- Resolution: 12-bit D/A conversion for precise signal control
- Output Ranges (configurable per channel):
- Voltage: 0–10 V DC, ±5 V DC, ±10 V DC
- Current: 4–20 mA, 0–20 mA
- Isolation: 2,500 V AC RMS between logic/common and output channels
- Output Filter: First-order low-pass filter (100 Hz cutoff) to reduce noise
- Power Supply:
- Module Voltage: 24 V DC (±10%)
- Current Consumption: ~100 mA @ 5 V DC or 120 mA @ 24 V DC
