Mitsubishi Electric R60DAI8 MELSEC iQ-R Series D/A Converter Module

Description

Realizing precise digital-to-analog current transformation within the MELSEC iQ-R platform, the R60DAI8 analog output module provides high-density, multi-channel current output capabilities. This module supports up to eight independent current output channels, allowing precise control over analog field devices such as control valves, actuators, and speed controllers. It integrates seamlessly into the MELSEC iQ-R system backplane, utilizing 16 occupied I/O points for system communication and configuration.

Configurable independently per channel, the unit supports standard current output ranges of 0 to 20 mA and 4 to 20 mA. Field wiring connections are established via a robust screw terminal block, ensuring secure connections under industrial vibration. Designed for integration within processing plants, machinery control, and high-reliability automation architectures, this module ensures reliable signal translation and minimized signal degradation.
