System role

This section explains what the product does and where it acts in the surrounding system.

Function: Controls analog field signals through 8 floating analog outputs with +/-10 V signals.
System position: sits between the S5-115U/F controller analog output image and field actuators in the analog output layer.
Upstream / inputs: Receives analog output values from the S5-115U/F controller.
Downstream / outputs: Drives compatible field actuators or indicators with eight floating +/-10 V signals.
Limitations: Unknown: terminal configuration, channel load limits, scaling, installed hardware condition, and rack compatibility.
