MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC 60DAH4 High-speed Analog output Modules

High-speed Digital I/O Modules

•Available in positive or negative common (for 16-point input), both positive and

negative common (for 32-point input), and with sink or source transistor (for output)

depending on the type of device or sensor wiring

•8-point common terminal (16-point input) enables mixing of different sensor types

on one input module (different response time can be set for each input point)

•Wide-range rated load voltage from 5 V DC to 24 V DC

•18-point screw terminal available for the input, and high-density 40-pin connector

for the output 

❶ High-speed data measurement of tire profile

High-speed analog measurements between multiple sensors can be synchronized, leading to

improved accuracy of inspection data. Measurements are made at high speed, supporting

5 µs simultaneous sampling rates over five or more channels. This can be used for applications

such as monitoring tire profiles during qualitative final inspection using geometric measuring

techniques (laser sensors), and detecting tires with defects such as radial runout, axial runout,

bulges, and tire side deformation.

❷ Monitoring of motor vibration characteristics

The analog modules support continuous logging that enable collection of analog

data at high speed (1 μs per channel, 5 μs over four channels) irrespective of the

control CPU scan time, which otherwise may result in portions of uncollected data.

This is useful for collecting vibration sensor data that is used to monitor motor

performance for detecting any progressive vibrations that may indicate the possibility

of a fault developing.

Greater accuracy of collected data Due to the analog modules high-speed data sampling

and improved resolution, even small changes in sensor output data values can be

visible, especially as values change at high speed.

❸ High-speed response

between product detection and reject mechanism High-precision synchronization

between inputs and outputs are ideal for situations requiring high-speed

performance between each process, such as for product detection and

rejection mechanisms in packaging machines. By utilizing the inter-modular

synchronization function, sensor performance is not affected by variations

in CPU scan time, which can normally cause slower process responses and

cause missed products.

❹ Ultrahigh-speed control of product code printing

The digital output module supports high-speed control and enables an output signal

response time of 2 µs, where dedicated equipment would usually be required. This is

useful when data received from a computer requires printing onto a workpiece, such

as printing product identification information (e.g., date codes, batch numbers) on

packaging after quality testing on a continuous high-speed packaging line.
