+/-5 V, 0-10 V, 0-5 V, 2-10 V, 1-5 V, 0-20 mA or 4-20 mA. The resolution is 16 bit per
channel. An output can be connected to each connector, the internal switching is
carried out automatically. The output range is defined using parameterization. A
status LED is assigned to each channel. The outputs are supplied with power from
the output current path (I
The EP-4264 module provides individual channel diagnosis with channel related
error messages.
Each module features a type plate, which includes identification information, the
key technical specifications, and a block diagram. In addition, a QR code allows for
direct online access to the associated documentation. The software for reading the
QR code must support inverted QR codes.
Markers are available as accessories for labelling equipment. Each I/O module can
be labelled using the markers to ensure clear identification when replacing
individual modules or electronic units.
The RSTi-EP station is usually installed on a horizontally positioned DIN rail.
Installation on vertically positioned DIN rails is also possible.
The outputs as well as the sense-lines of the AO modules must not be used as
power outputs.

Analog Output Module
Modules should to be allowed to de-energize for a minimum 10 seconds after
power down, prior to starting any maintenance activity.
Refer to the RSTi-EP Slice I/O User Manual (GFK-2958) for additional information.
Refer to the RSTi-EP Power Supply Reference Guide, a software utility available on
PME V9.00, for detailed power-feed requirements.

Field Wiring
The connection frame can take up to four connectors, and four wires can be connected to each connector. Those four
connectors are shown in the following figure. The Spring style technology allows either finely stranded or solid wire
conductors with crimped wire-end ferrules or ultrasonically welded wires, each with a maximum cross-section of 1.5
mm² (16 guage), to be inserted easily through the opening in the clamping terminal without having to use tools. To
insert fine stranded wires without wire-end ferrules, the pusher must be pressed in with a screwdriver and released to
latch the wire.
Connector Block
Connector Specifications:
• conductor cross-section 0.14 to 1.5 mm² (26 – 16 guage)
• max. ampacity: 10 A
• 4-pole
The modules do not have a fused sensor/activator power supply. All cables to the connected sensors/actuators must be
fused corresponding to their conductor cross-sections (as per Standard DIN EN 60204-1, section 12).
Refer to the RSTi-EP Slice I/O User Manual (GFK-2958) for additional information.
