The AO-V-8 and AO-V-8-H are analog output, 8
channel I/O modules.
The analog outputs are capable of supporting
analog voltage point types. Therefore, analog
outputs support a wide range of devices, such as
actuators.

Function
Modular and scalable system
The modules are part of a modular system that
delivers power and communications on a common
bus. Connecting modules is a one-step process:
just slide the modules together using the built-in
connectors.
Patented two-piece design
Each module can be separated from its terminal
base to allow the site to be wired prior to the
installation of the electronics. The patented locking
mechanism serves as handles for removing the
module from its base. All critical components have
a protective cover that permits convection cooling
to occur.
The I/O module terminals are clearly labeled and
protected by transparent covers. The input and
output terminals are at the top and bottom of each
module and are accessible for maintenance without
removing the module. The StruxureWare Building
Operation WorkStation software can generate
custom as-built labels for each module. Preperforated letter and A4 size label sheets are
available as an accessory.
Accommodates multiple row panel installations
The SmartStruxure devices use built-in connectors
for single row connectivity, side by side. If a panel
size requires multiple rows, extension cords are
available.

Hot-connect and Hot-swap
Because critical applications require 24-hour
operation, Schneider Electric designed the I/O
modules for hot-connection of terminal bases and
hot-swapping of the modules to their bases. This
design ensures continuous power and
communication during service operations.
Auto-addressing
The auto-addressing feature eliminates the need for
setting DIP switches or pressing commission
buttons. Each module automatically knows its order
in the chain and assigns itself accordingly –
significantly reducing engineering and maintenance
time.
Simple DIN-rail installation
Fasteners easily snap into a locked position for
panel installation. The fastener has a quick-release
feature for easy DIN-rail removal.
LED status indicators
The I/O module has a status indicator that denotes
the health and status of the module.
Hand/Off/Auto switches
The front panel of the AO-8-V-H includes
Hand/Off/Auto (HOA) switches to provide override
control of the outputs.
Each output also has a potentiometer to modulate
the output signal when the switch is in the Hand
position.
The position of the HOA switch is readable through
user interfaces, such as the StruxureWare Building
Operation WorkStation software, enabling more
precise monitoring and control.
Protection
Protection components on the analog outputs
protect against high-voltage short-duration
transient events.
The analog outputs have current limits to protect
against permanent short-circuit to ground.
Range.......................................................................................................................................0 to 10 VDC
For protection from excess current that could be
produced by field wiring, follow these instructions:
• Connect one RET terminal on each of the I/O
modules to a common chassis/power ground
rail in the control panel using a size 16 AWG,
1.3 mm, or larger wire.
