The RAO02 Redundant Analog Output module processes up to 16 high-level,

group isolated, analog output field signals.

Each channel is independently configurable for either 4 to 20 mA or 1 to +5 VDC ranges.

FC 221 (I/O Device Definition) sets AO module operating parameters and

each output channel is configured using FC 223 (Analog Output CH) to

set indivdual output channel parameters such as engineering units,

High/Low Alarm limits, default value in event of loss of communication with controller, etc.

D/A resolution of each channel is 12 bits.

The RAO02 module has one D/A converter for each output channel.

In current mode, the RAO02 module supports HART v5.4 instruments and

provides short circuit protection by limiting current to a maximum of 26 mA.

The RAO02 module will also detect an open circuit in less than 5 seconds.
