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 V
DC
.
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.
