Description

Designed for integration with MELSEC Q Series PLC systems, the Q68DAIN digital-analog converter module provides high-precision digital-to-analog current conversion across eight independent channels. This module processes 16-bit signed binary digital values to drive precise current signals for field instruments, actuators, and control valves. High-speed signal processing combined with robust channel protection ensures reliable operation in demanding industrial control environments.

Features

  • Eight independent analog output channels for multi-device control.
  • High-speed conversion rate of 80 us per channel.
  • 16-bit signed binary digital input resolution.
  • Built-in output short-circuit protection to prevent hardware damage.
  • Standard 18-point removable terminal block connection interface.

Applications

  • Modulating control valves and positioners in process industries.
  • Variable speed drive (VSD) speed reference control.
  • Water and wastewater treatment automation.
  • Chemical processing and material handling systems.

Installation Guidelines

  • Ensure the PLC base unit power supply is completely switched off before mounting or removing the module.
  • Securely tighten the module mounting screws and terminal block screws to the specified torque.
  • Use shielded twisted-pair cables for all analog output lines to minimize high-frequency electromagnetic interference.
  • Maintain physical separation between signal cables and high-voltage power lines or motor drive cables.
  • Ground the shield of the output cables at a single point near the control cabinet entry.
