Chapter 3 System Overview
Control Output
Voltage (DAC) Output The multifunction module has two analog
outputs capable of outputting calibrated voltages between ±12 volts with
16 bits of resolution. Each DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converter) channel
can be used as a programmable voltage source for analog input control of
other devices. A simplified diagram is shown below.
• You can set the output voltage to any value between +12 VDC and -12
VDC, in 1 mV steps. Each DAC is earth referenced; it cannot float.
• Each DAC channel is capable of supplying 10 mA maximum current.
Note: You must limit the output current to 40 mA total for all three slots
(six DAC channels).
