Product details

The TM5CAI8O8VL is a Modicon TM5 compact I/O expansion block — 8 analog inputs and 8 analog outputs, all +/-10 V, 12-bit resolution on the input side. Both input and output ranges are voltage only; no current loop on this module. It snaps onto DIN rail, powered from the 5 V bus (8 mA) and 24 V I/O supply (218 mA). Total dissipation 5.25 W. Response time is ≤1 ms for output status change; sampling takes 20 ms for the whole module (5 ms per channel). Not configurable input filtering at ≤50 ms. Isolation is 500 Vrms between channel and bus, but no isolation between channels — keep that in mind for common-mode noise between adjacent signals.
