Note: The catalog confirms the number of output channels, signal voltage and current range, resolution, accuracy, and module supply voltage. However, the speed data of 15 ms/channel and 6 ms/channel must be verified from the Datasheet as the catalog uses input signal descriptions for the output module listings.
4 Analog Output Channels
The PLC EXPLX3V-4DA supports 4 analog output channels to send control values from the PLC system to external devices that support it.
Expanding the number of analog output channels allows the system to send control values to multiple points, but the channel configuration settings and usage of voltage or current signals must be verified according to the manufacturer's manual.
Voltage Signal Range -10 V to +10 V Supported
The module supports analog voltage signal transmission in the range of -10 V to +10 V as per the catalog data, suitable for devices designed to receive bipolar voltage control signals.
Before connecting to external equipment, it is advisable to check the input voltage range, load resistance, and signal reference point to ensure proper compatibility.
Supports 4-20 mA Current Signal
The EXPLX3V-4DA supports output current signals in the range of 4-20 mA, which is a commonly used signal format in industrial process control systems.
This can be applied to devices with 4-20 mA current input control by checking the wiring configuration and maximum load resistance supported by the module from the Datasheet.
Output Resolution 12 bit (12-bit Resolution)
The module has a signal conversion resolution of 12 bits for creating analog signals from PLC system control values. This resolution indicates the level of value segmentation within the specified range.
A 12-bit resolution does not directly equate to signal accuracy, as actual accuracy depends on output circuit characteristics, load conditions, and usage scenarios.
Accuracy ±1%
The catalog specifies an accuracy of ±1% for output voltage signals in the range of -10 V to +10 V and current signals at 4-20 mA.
Detailed calculation basis for accuracy such as percent of measurement span or full scale is not clearly specified, so it should be checked from the Datasheet if used in systems with specific accuracy requirements.
Speed Data Normal Speed and High Speed
| Catalog Description |
Value |
| Normal Speed | 15 ms/channel |
| High Speed | 6 ms/channel |
The catalog provides two speed values, 15 ms/channel and 6 ms/channel, but describes signal input response times. Since the EXPLX3V-4DA is an Analog Output module,
Therefore, it is advisable to check manufacturer documentation to confirm the meaning and conditions of these values before using them to define system speed performance.
Powder Supply 24 VDC ±10%
The EXPLX3V-4DA uses a power supply of 24 VDC ±10% with an operating current consumption of 55 mA as per the catalog data.
Power system design should consider the load of the module and other devices within the system, including checking the power connection method according to the manufacturer's manual.
Compatibility with PLC System
EXPLX3V-4DA is an Analog Output module for expanding the signal output channels of a PLC system. It's necessary to verify compatibility with the main CPU and limitations of the Expansion Module before installation.
The configuration settings, scaling setup, and connection to end devices should be checked to ensure correct signal transmission as per design specifications.
