IO-AI4-AO2  

I/O Expansion Module   4 Analog Inputs, 2 Analog Outputs 

The IO-AI4-AO2 is an I/O expansion 
module that can be used in conjunction 
with specific Unitronics OPLC controllers. 
The module offers 4 12-bit analog inputs; 
functioning at 0-10V,0-20mA, 4-20mA; 
and 2 12-bit +sign analog outputs; 
functioning at ±10V, 0-20mA, 4-20mA. 
The interface between the module and 
the OPLC is provided by an adapter. 
The module may either be snap-mounted 
on a DIN rail, or screw-mounted onto a 
mounting plate.
