FP7 Analog Output Unit User's Manual
The analog output unit converts its internal data into analog values to be
output to inverters or other analog-driven devices.
 The unit is equipped with six types of output ranges (voltage ranges of
-10V to +10V, 0V to +10V, 0V to +5V, and +1V to +5V and current
ranges of 0mA to +20mA and +4mA to +20mA).
 The unit has 4 channels to output analog data.
 The conversion speed is 25μs/channel.
 Digital values are converted into analog data with up to 16 bits in a res-
olution range of 1/25000–1/62500.
Name Description
Analog output Use this function to specify the operation of the analog output
in PROG mode when the PLC is switched from RUN to PROG mode: stop output,
hold the current value, or hold a user-defined value.
Offset/gain Offset and gain adjustment can be used to correct offset or scal-
processing
ing errors. The offset and gain adjustments are made to the
converted data before it is written to the CPU's output area.
Scale conver- Use scale conversion to set an easy-to-use analog output range.
sion The digital input values are scaled to values in the specified
range between preset minimum and maximum values before
they are written to the CPU's output area.
Upper and In order to protect connected devices, this function limits the
lower limit analog output value by clipping the digital input value if it ex-
clipping ceeds the specified upper or lower limit.
