2AO725.6
The B & R Automation 2AO725.6 is a high-performance module in the System 2010 Controllers series, designed for reliable analog output in demanding industrial environments. This analog output module features 8 unipolar current outputs with an output signal range of 0–20 mA, delivering precise control for process and motion applications. Boasting a 12-bit resolution, the 2AO725.6 provides fine-grained adjustment and repeatability essential for automation tasks. With a rapid conversion time of 250 µs for all channels, it supports time-critical signal updates and ensures minimal latency in control loops. The module is part of the B & R Automation family and carries full compliance markings, including a C-UL-US listed certification.
This analog output module’s technical capabilities make it an outstanding choice for varied industrial applications. Its basic precision at 20 °C of ±0.5% and precision over 0–60 °C of ±0.75% ensure accurate signal output across a wide temperature range. The built-in output filter cutoff frequency of 1 kHz helps suppress noise and maintain signal integrity under electrical interference. Electrical safety features include electrical isolation between output and PCC for reliable separation of power and control circuits, though note there is no isolation between outputs. The module supports mounting on standard base plates (compatible with BP200, BP201, and BP210), simplifying system integration. It also incorporates short-circuit protection at the output stage to guard against accidental faults.
Operational features of the 2AO725.6 emphasize robustness and efficiency. A maximum power consumption of 10 W/h keeps energy usage low, while the design supports vertical assembly to optimize chassis space. Protective measures extend beyond isolation and short-circuit defense to include careful thermal management, ensuring consistent operation across industrial temperature ranges. The compact form factor—height 285 mm, width 40 mm, depth 185 mm—allows for dense module arrangements without compromising access or serviceability. Users benefit from the proven reliability of B & R Automation components in applications requiring long service intervals and minimal downtime.
Integration of the 2AO725.6 into control architectures is straightforward thanks to its adherence to the System 2010 modular concept. It interfaces seamlessly with B & R PLCs, I/O networks, and HMI systems, making it an ideal choice for process control, machine building, and factory automation. The module’s analog output capabilities complement digital I/O and analog input modules, enabling mixed-signal configurations within a unified platform. Whether deployed in motion control loops, analog signal generation, or process monitoring, the 2AO725.6 enhances system flexibility and performance with minimal engineering overhead.
