GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The model CSOUT is an analog output module designed for use with the 
Modular Controller Series. The module provides four isolated outputs that are 
independently programmable for output ranges of 0-5V, 0-10V, +/-10V, 
0-20mA, or 4-20mA. Internal scaling is provided to accommodate virtually any 
application.
The modules connect and communicate via a backplane connection to the 
CSMSTR Modular Controller Series Master. The CSMSTR, equipped with 
serial ports as well as an Ethernet port, allows the system to share data with PCs, 
PLCs, and SCADA systems. The Master supports up to 16 CS Series modules 
(refer to the “Power” specifications).
Internal power management circuits allow the modules to be replaced while 
power is applied, which reduces downtime. All configuration information is 
stored locally within each module, as well as in the Master, so replacement 
modules do not need to be configured.
The Modular Controller Series’ high density packaging and DIN rail 
mounting saves time and panel space. The backplane connection provides power 
and communication to the module and snaps easily onto standard top hat (T) 
profile DIN rail.
CONFIGURATION
The Modular Controller Series is configured with Windows
®
 compatible 
Crimson software. The software is an easy to use, graphical interface that 
provides a means of communication configuration, as well as commissioning 
and calibration of new systems.
SAFETY SUMMARY
All safety related regulations, local codes and instructions that appear in the 
manual or on equipment must be observed to ensure personal safety and to 
prevent damage to either the instrument or equipment connected to it. If 
equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection 
provided by the equipment may be impaired. 
Do not use the module to directly command motors, valves, or other actuators 
not equipped with safeguards. To do so can be potentially harmful to persons or 
equipment in the event of a fault to the module.
