Integrator brief
R60DAI8 is a current-output analog module that sits on the MELSEC iQ-R backplane and occupies 16 I/O points. Its eight channels are individually configurable for 0-20 mA or 4-20 mA loops, powered from the 24 V DC rail with a current draw of 0,16 A. Screw terminals are standard — the same wiring practice as other iQ-R screw-terminated slices.
R60DAI8 vs R60DAV8
The only decision-driving difference between the two is output type. R60DAI8 delivers 0-20 or 4-20 mA current loops; R60DAV8 delivers voltage outputs of -10..10 V, 0-5 V, or 1-5 V. Everything else — dimensions, backplane interface, 24 V supply, 0,16 A draw, 16 occupied I/O points, screw terminals — is identical. If the panel is wired for current loops, R60DAI8 nails the cure recipe. Swapping into a voltage-specified chassis means verifying the load expects a current signal.
