The ABB 1TNE968902R1201 is the AO561 analog output slice in the ABB Distributed Automation I/O family: two analog outputs on a single module, each channel software-selectable between voltage and current. Resolution on the analog outputs is 12-bit, which is the number that governs the smallest step a PID loop or setpoint driver will see on the field side. Connection is pluggable spring-style terminals, housing is IP20, and the module is rated for operation across 0 … +60 °C — a cabinet-internal envelope, not a field-mounted one.
Sourcing and compliance posture
RoHS compliance is declared under EU Directive 2011/65/EU and Amendment 2015/863 (July 22, 2019 cutoff date), and a REACH SVHC disclosure is on file dated 20241206 — meaning the substance > 0.1 mass% declaration is current as of that REACH reference date. A SCIP dossier is filed with reference 5add3c6e-4104-4cdc-be04-27c20a49eec9 for the German market, and the WEEE classification is Category 5 small equipment with B2B take-back — standard for a DIN-rail mounted PLC slice.
Where AO561 fits in the rack — and what it is not
The closest order code a buyer tends to cross-shop against is 1TNE968902R2302, the DX571 — but it is a mixed digital module: 8 DI sink plus 8 DO relay (2 A, 120…240 V AC). It is not a functional second source for the AO561; the slot has the same mechanical family, the I/O class is different. If the BOM line calls for two analog outputs with 12-bit resolution and U/I per channel, the AO561 matches; a mixed digital I/O slot belongs to the DX571 order code, not this part.
