(1) The status of analog output changes depending on the setting of various functions that

control the analog output. Take sufficient caution when setting for those functions.
For details of analog output status, refer to Section 3.4.1 "

Combinations of functions in each

part

"

(2) Normal output may not be obtained due to malfunctions of output elements or the internal

circuits.
Configure a circuit to monitor signals which may lead to a serious accident.

!

CAUTION

Do not bunch the control wires or communication cables with the main circuit or power wires, or

install them close to each other.

An I/O conversion characteristic indicates an inclination of a straight line which
connects an offset value and a gain value at the time when a digital value set from the
PLC CPU is converted into an analog value (voltage or current output).
The offset value is an analog value (voltage or current) output when the digital value
set from the PLC CPU is 0.
The gain value is an analog value (voltage or current) output when the digital value set
from the PLC CPU is 4000.

POINT

(1) Within the digital input and analog output scopes of each output range, the

maximum resolution and accuracy are within the performance specification
range. Outside those scopes, however, they may not fall within the performance
specification range. (Avoid using the dotted line part in Fig. 3.1.)

(2) Set the offset and gain values of the user range setting within the range

satisfying the fol low i ng condit io n s.

3.3.3 Relationship between offset/gain setti ng and anal og output v al ue

How to calculate the analog output value:
The resolution of AJ65SBT-62DA can be set arbitrarily by modifying the setting of the
offset value and gain value.
How to calculate the analog value resolution and the analog output value for a given
digital input value when the settings of the offset value and gain value are changed is
shown next.

(1) Resolution

Find the resolu ti on wi th the fo llow i ng exp r e ssi on .

(Gain value) - (Offset value)

(Analog resolution) =

4000

(2) Analog output value

Find the analog out put valu e wi th th e following expressio n.

(Analog output) = (Analog resolution) × (Digital input value) + (Offset value)

3.3.4 Accuracy

Accuracy is relative to the maximum value of the analog output value.
If you change the offset/gain setting or output range to change the output
characteristic, accuracy does not change and is held within the range indicated in the
performance specifications.

(1) Accuracy of voltage output

For voltage output, the maximum value of the analog output value changes with
the range.
For example, accuracy is relative to 5V when the 0 to 5V range is selected.
Analog output is provided at the accuracy of within ±0.2% (±10mV) when the
operating ambient temperature is 25±5°C, or within ±0.4% (±20mA) when the
operating ambient temperature is 0 to 55°C.
