1.8 Functions of the 8-CH, Medium-Speed Analog
Output Module
This module is equipped with 8 outputs that can output voltage or current. An external
power source (24 V) is required for current output. For voltage output only, an external
power source is not required.

Output Type
Transmission output: Outputs a voltage or current corresponding to the measured
results of the input channel specified on the same unit.
Command output: The specified value is output based on the value sent from
the PC software. Transmission output of computation channel data
or of data from separate units is available.
Output Range
Voltage: -10.000 V to 10.000 V
Current: 0.000 mA to 20.000 mA
Output Update Interval
The output is updated at 100-ms intervals. It is not synchronized to the measurement
interval.
Operation When Errors Occur upon Startup
See section 1.10.
Output Operation During Calibration
Calibration Status Output Status
Channels being calibrated Command output (output of calibration value)
Calibrated channels Holds the last calibration command output value*
Non-calibrated channels Holds the output value (holds the last output value during
steady operation (see section 1.10))
* Holds the last calibration command output value until the next output update.
