Overview
The FP-AO-200 is a FieldPoint analog output module with eight
0-20/4-20 mA current loop outputs. You can use the FP-AO-200 to
drive devices using process current loops of either the 0-20 mA or
4-20 mA standards. Hot plug and play operation, safety isolation,
onboard diagnostics such as open loop detection, and over-ranging
ability ensure that installation and maintenance are as trouble free
as possible.
These operating instructions describe the installation, features, and
characteristics of the FP-AO-200. For details on configuring and
accessing the FP-AO-200 over a network, refer to the user manual
for the particular FieldPoint network module you are using with the
FP-AO-200.
