SLC 500 8-Point Analog Output Module Hardware Features The module contains a removable terminal block, providing connection for 8 analog output channels, which are specifically designed to interface with analog current and voltage devices. The 1746-NO8I provides eight channels of current outputs, while the 1746-NO8V provides eight channels of voltage outputs.
SLC 500 8-Point Analog Output Module Determining Power Requirements The module receives its power through the SLC 500 chassis backplane from the +5V dc/+24V dc chassis power supply. The +5V dc backplane supply powers the SLC circuitry, and the +24V dc backplane supply powers the module analog circuitry.

SLC 500 8-Point Analog Output Module • With the jumper in the 1-2 shorted position, the module draws all of its power from the backplane of the SLC system. • With the jumper in the 2-3 shorted position, the module draws its 24V dc power from the external power supply;...
SLC 500 8-Point Analog Output Module Installation Install the SLC 500 system in a properly rated (i.e., NEMA) enclosure. Make sure that the SLC 500 system is properly grounded. Choosing a Slot in the Chassis Two factors determine where the analog module should be located in the chassis: ambient temperature and electrical noise.

SLC 500 8-Point Analog Output Module Terminal Block The 1746-NO8 module contains an 18-position, removable terminal block. The terminal pin-out is shown below. Disconnect power to the SLC before attempting to install, ATTENTION remove, or wire the removable terminal block. To avoid cracking the removable terminal block, alternate the removal of the slotted terminal block release screws.
SLC 500 8-Point Analog Output Module Configuration The module operates in Class 1 or Class 3 mode. This section describes how to configure the module for Class 1 operation. Class 1 provides basic data output with no user scaling. No configuration is required. This mode is compatible with the 1746-NO4 module.
