About the F2-08DA-1
AutomationDirect's F2-08AD4DA-1 is an 8-channel 4-20mA Analog Output Module designed for installation in the DL205 Programmable Logic Controller. The F2-08DA-1 offers eight single-ended channels with twelve bit resolution. The output types of the device are either current sourcing or current sinking. Analog Output Modules offer an interface between the DL205 Programmable Logic Controller and various field devices, such as lamps, valves, fans, motors, relays, and heaters.
Equipped with NEMA ICS3-304 noise immunity, the F2-08AD4DA-1 contains a number of features that shield it from environmental conditions. For example, it can withstand humidity up to 95% non-condensing and withstand shock & vibration at a MIL STD 810C 514.2 rating. It can be stored in temperatures ranging from -4ºF to 158ºF, or -20ºC to 70ºC. It does not have resistance to corrosive gasses, so users should ensure the air conditions are appropriate for their device.
The DL205 Programmable Logic Controller itself is a highly flexible modular control system that offers eight CPUs that provide a total of 16,384 possible I/O configurations. It has a range of thirty-five different modules that can be purchased for installation in the device, each of which provide unique communications features, I/O features, or other protective elements.
