Overview
The Automation Direct 405-4DAC is a 4-channel analog output module for the DirectLogic 405 (DL405) modular PLC family. This module enables simultaneous control of multiple analog outputs, making it ideal for proportional valve control, motor speed regulation, and process variable manipulation in industrial automation systems. The 405-4DAC integrates directly into standard DL405 base units without additional configuration hardware.
