Analog Output Module, 13 Bit Voltage 12 Channels
Scaling for Bipolar Outputs
The graph below shows the relationship between the output voltage measured at the field
terminals and the data that is output by the module, when outputs are set up for the bipolar
range.

Voltage can be calculated using the following equation:
Vout = ( (analog counts x 20.48) / 65536 )
The count value must be a multiple of 4. If the module receives a count value that is not a
multiple of 4, it rounds the value down to the closest multiple of 4. For example:
