Information About F2-08DA-1

The F2-08DA-1 is an Analog I/O Module designed for integration within PLC systems, specifically within the DirectLOGIC DL205 series. As part of the VDC Logic I/O Module subcategory, this module provides reliable and precise analog output capabilities, making it an essential component for applications requiring accurate control of current-driven devices. The F2-08DA-1 is engineered to meet the demanding requirements of modern industrial automation systems, offering both performance and flexibility in a compact form factor.

Weighing only 0.15 lbs, the F2-08DA-1 is a lightweight yet robust module that is easy to integrate into existing control systems. Its compact design allows for efficient use of space within control cabinets, making it ideal for environments where space is at a premium. Despite its small size, the module is built to withstand the rigors of industrial use, ensuring long-term reliability and consistent performance across a wide range of applications.

The F2-08DA-1 features 8 analog output channels, each capable of delivering a current signal in the 4-20 mA range. This output range is a standard in industrial control systems, making the module compatible with a wide variety of sensors, actuators, and other current-driven devices. The ability to deliver precise current outputs ensures that connected devices operate within their intended parameters, which is crucial for maintaining the accuracy and efficiency of the overall control system.

The module is equipped with a 12-bit resolution, which provides a high level of precision in the analog output signals. The 12-bit resolution translates to 4,096 discrete output levels, allowing for fine adjustments to the current signal. This level of precision is essential in applications where even minor deviations in the output signal can impact the performance of the controlled devices. The high resolution of the F2-08DA-1 ensures that it can deliver smooth and accurate control, making it suitable for use in critical applications where precision is paramount.

To operate, the F2-08DA-1 requires a power supply voltage within the range of 18-26.4 VDC. This wide input voltage range provides flexibility in power supply selection, allowing the module to be used in a variety of environments with different power configurations. The module consumes 80 mA of current, making it an energy-efficient choice for industrial control systems. The low current consumption helps to reduce the overall power load on the control system, contributing to energy savings and improved system efficiency.

In addition to its internal power requirements, the F2-08DA-1 requires an external 24 VDC power source to function correctly. This external power requirement ensures that the module has a stable and reliable power supply, which is essential for maintaining consistent output performance. The need for an external power source also allows the module to be isolated from the main control system power supply, providing an additional layer of protection against power fluctuations and potential interference.

The F2-08DA-1 is part of the DirectLOGIC DL205 series, a well-established family of PLC modules known for their reliability and versatility. The DL205 series is widely used in industrial automation, offering a range of modules that can be easily integrated to create custom control solutions. The F2-08DA-1’s compatibility with the DL205 series ensures that it can be seamlessly added to existing systems, providing an immediate enhancement to the system's analog output capabilities.

This module is particularly well-suited for applications that require precise control of analog signals, such as process control, instrumentation, and automation systems. Its ability to deliver accurate 4-20 mA signals makes it an ideal choice for controlling devices such as variable frequency drives, proportional valves, and industrial sensors. The module’s high resolution and reliable performance ensure that these devices receive the correct signals to operate efficiently and accurately, reducing the risk of errors and improving overall system performance.

In summary, the F2-08DA-1 Analog I/O Module is a high-performance, reliable, and versatile solution for industrial control systems requiring precise analog output capabilities. With its 8-channel, 12-bit resolution, and 4-20 mA output range, it provides the precision and flexibility needed for a wide range of applications. Its compact design, energy efficiency, and compatibility with the DirectLOGIC DL205 series make it an excellent choice for enhancing the analog output capabilities of PLC systems. Whether used in new installations or as an upgrade to existing systems, the F2-08DA-1 delivers the performance and reliability needed to meet the demands of modern industrial automation.
