Why Choose the ABB DA502-XC Digital/Analogue I/O Module?
The ABB DA502-XC is a versatile digital and analogue input/output expansion module designed for ABB AC500-XC and S500-XC industrial automation systems. It combines high-density transistor outputs, configurable digital I/O and analogue signal processing within a single module, making it well suited to mixed-signal machine and process control applications.
The DA502-XC provides 16 digital transistor outputs at 24 V DC, eight configurable 24 V DC digital input/output channels, four analogue inputs and two analogue outputs. The digital outputs and configurable output channels support loads up to 0.5 A per channel, while the analogue section supports voltage, current and RTD measurement together with voltage and current output signals.
As the XC version of the DA502, the module is designed for operation under extreme ambient conditions while retaining the flexible mixed-I/O functionality of the standard model. Integrated fast counter functionality, module-wise galvanic isolation and modular S500-XC construction make it a practical solution for demanding industrial automation installations.
