Product Introduction
High-resolution analog control is critical for managing continuous processes and final control elements like control valves, VFDs, and dampers. The is a 4-channel, 16-bit analog output module designed for the VersaMax PLC platform. Unlike older jumper-configured modules, the is fully software-configurable, allowing engineers to easily set each channel as either a 4-20 mA current output or a ±10 VDC voltage output directly from the programming software.
Field engineerhe because its individually isolated channels and 1500 VAC isolation rating prevent ground loops and signal interference in harsh industrial environments. The module also features advanced per-channel diagnostics, including open wire detection, over/under-range alarms, and configurable fail-safe states (hold last state or default value) during communication loss.
Key Selling Points & Differentiators
- VersaMax Compatibility: Designed specifically for GE VersaMax PLC and I/O Station backplanes; not recommended for non-GE platforms due to proprietary bus architecture.
- Software-Configurable Flexibility: Eliminates the need for physical jumpers; each channel can be independently configured as 4-20 mA or ±10 VDC via software, streamlining inventory and commissioning.
- High-Resolution & Precision: Features 16-bit resolution with ±0.1% full-scale accuracy, ensuring tight control loop stability for critical analog applications.
- Advanced Per-Channel Diagnostics: Detects and reports open wires, over/under-range faults, and field power loss, allowing for proactive maintenance and rapid troubleshooting.
- Rigorous Live Bench Testing: Every unit undergoes a 24-hour continuous load test with full-scale voltage/current simulation and communication verification before shipping.
- New Surplus Availability: Factory-sealed condition with verified source traceability, bypassing typical OEM lead times for discontinued VersaMax hardware.
- Anti-Counterfeit Verification: Serial numbers are checked against manufacturer databases during incoming inspection to guarantee authenticity.

FAQ
The is designed for the VersaMax micro and nano PLC platforms, as well as VersaMax I/O Stations controlled by a Network Interface Unit (NIU) version 2.0 or above. Always verify your specific CPU and backplane revision before ordering to ensure proper communication.
How do I configure the output type and fail-safe state?
The does not use physical jumpers. All parameters, including channel type (Current/Voltage), scaling, alarm levels, and fail-safe behavior (Default Value vs. Hold Last State), are configured via software in the VersaMax programming environment.
What happens to the outputs if the PLC loses power or communication?
The module’s behavior is determined by software configuration. If configured for “Hold Last State,” the outputs will maintain their final value during a fault. If configured for “Default,” they will output a pre-programmed safe value (e.g., 0 mA or 4 mA). Note: External field power must remain present for the module to maintain the Hold Last State during a backplane power loss.
Do I need an external power supply for this module?
Yes. The requires an external 24 VDC field power supply connected to the module’s field terminals to drive the output loads. The PLC backplane only provides logic power for the module’s internal circuitry.
Is there a warranty on this new surplus unit?
Yes. All new surplus modules come with a standard 12-month functional warranty. If the unit fails during normal operation within that period, we provide a direct replacement. We also include our internal test report with every shipment so you can verify the 24-hour load test and output accuracy results before installation.
