Overview
The Giddings & Lewis 502-03518-23 is a 4-channel D/A (digital-to-analog) output module designed for integration into PiC900 programmable industrial control systems. The PiC900 combines motion, logic, and process control all in a single programming environment, and this analog output module enables precise voltage control for analog devices, sensors, and proportional valves throughout automated manufacturing environments.
Key Features
- 4 independent analog output channels for ±10V DC control signals
- Direct integration with PiC900 backplane and I/O architecture
- Output ±10V DC Module (8 or 4 channel) configuration supporting standard analog signal ranges
- Field-proven reliability in Giddings & Lewis machine tool control systems
- Screw terminal connector for secure field wiring
- Compatible with IEC 1131 ladder logic and function block programming environments
