Mitsubishi's Q68DAIN module is a digital-analog converter utilized in the Melsec-Q automation systems. This device is capable of processing eight analog input channels and works with 16-bit signed binary input resolution. It operates in normal and high precision modes to accommodate varying application needs. The output voltage can be adjusted between -10 volts to 10 volts DC, suitable for systems requiring a high degree of control or signaling.
For output current, the Q68DAIN provides a range from 0 to 20 mA DC and supports an absolute maximum output current of 21 mA. The module also includes an E2PROM that allows for up to 100,000 write cycles. The product is equipped with output short-circuit protection, enhancing its reliability in field installations.
For insulation, the design employs photo coupler insulation between the I/O terminal and the programmable controller power supply. However, there is no insulation between the output channels. The external supply power connection to the analog output is also transformer isolated, ensuring safety and effectiveness in various electrical environments.
The dielectric withstand voltage is rated at 500 VAC for one minute for both the connection between the I/O terminal and the programmable controller power supply, as well as between the external supply power and the analog output. This ensures that the Q68DAIN module can perform well in demanding conditions. It occupies 16 I/O points on the system, categorized as intelligent points, and connects externally via an 18-point terminal block. The module has a low internal current consumption of only 0.38 A at 5 V DC and has a mass of 0.2 kilograms, making it a lightweight option for efficient automation.
