12-channel D/A output card

July 2003 PLCs, DCSs & Controllers News & Events

ProMicro's PCL-727 provides 12 12-bit D/A channels on a full size add-on card. The user can configure each channel individually to 0 to +5 V, 0 to +10 V, ±5 V or 4 to 20 mA current loop. With a <70 ms setting time and 15 kHz throughput, the card has an onboard DC/DC converter ensuring that full 10 V D/A output is always available.

Each analog output channel has an easily accessible built-in fuse socket to protect the card, PC and current-controlled devices against surge damage. The card is an ideal economical solution for applications requiring multiple PID control loops.

In addition to its analog outputs, the card provides 16 digital output and 16 digital input channels. Its TTL compatible D/I and D/O ports easily interface with the range of daughterboards for industrial on/off control and sensing applications.
