ControlLogix Analog I/O Module Features
Introduction This chapter describes features that are common to all ControlLogix analog
I/O modules.
ControlLogix analog input modules convert an analog signal of either volts,
millivolts, milliamps, or ohms that is connected to the module's screw
terminals into a digital value.
The digital value that represents the magnitude of the analog signal is then
transmitted on the backplane to either a controller or other control entities.
ControlLogix output modules convert a digital value that is delivered to the
module via the backplane into an analog signal of -10.5…10.5 volts
or 0…21 milliamps.
The digital value represents the magnitude of the desired analog signal. The
module converts the digital value into an analog signal and provides this signal
on the module's screw terminals.
