The AC2618 is an AS-Interface UniversalModule with two current-type analog output channels. It provides decentralized analog control for compatible industrial devices. The IP65 construction supports appropriate field-level industrial applications. AS-i communication allows PLC-generated process values to be transferred to the module. It is suitable for machines and processes requiring compact analog output control.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
Two analog current outputs provide continuous control signals. The UniversalModule format supports decentralized placement near controlled devices. AS-i transfers output data from the controller to the field module. IP65 protection provides suitable environmental protection for industrial installation. The module supports flexible analog control architecture.
Current analog outputs can be used for proportional control applications. Compatible equipment may include control interfaces, process devices, or proportional actuators. Two channels allow independent analog control functions. PLC logic determines the required output values. The distributed architecture reduces the need for long analog control wiring.
Output behavior should be monitored through the automation system. Connected equipment should be checked when output commands do not produce expected results. Field connectors should be inspected periodically. Analog cables should be checked for mechanical damage. Preventive maintenance supports reliable control.
Position the module close to the controlled devices. Connect the two outputs according to the machine wiring plan. Configure signal scaling within the PLC. Test both outputs during commissioning. Keep the installation properly documented.
