Analog Output Module

3.1 ADAM-5024 4-channel analog output module

The ADAM-5024 is a 4-channel analog output module. It receives its digital input through the RS-485 interface of the ADAM-5510 system module from the host computer. The format of the data is engineering units. It then uses the D/A converter controlled by the system module to convert the digital data into output signals.

You can specify slew rates and start up currents through the configuration software. The analog output can also be configured as current or voltage through the software utility. The module protects your equipment from ground loops and power surges by providing opto-isolation of the D/A output and transformer based isolation up to 500 VDC.

Slew rate

The slew rate is defined as the slope indicated the ascending or descending rate per second of the analog output from the present to the required.
