Description
The FANUC HE693DAC410C is a 4-channel analog output module manufactured by Horner Electric, commonly used with GE Fanuc (now part of Emerson Automation Solutions) automation systems [1, 2, 3].
Here’s a breakdown of its functionalities and key features:
Function:
- Connects to a compatible PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) within the automation system [1, 2, 3].
- Receives digital data signals from the PLC representing desired voltage levels.
- Converts these digital signals into analog voltage signals on its four output channels [1, 2, 3].
- The analog voltage signals can then be used to control external devices like variable speed drives, motors, or actuators within the automation system [1, 2, 3].
Features (uncertain without user manual):
- Number of Channels: The HE693DAC410C designation indicates it has 4 analog output channels [1, 2, 3].
- Voltage Range: The module likely supports a specific output voltage range (e.g., -10V to +10V) [1, 2, 3]. Refer to the user manual or datasheet for details (if available).
- Resolution: The resolution refers to the smallest voltage change the module can represent in its digital-to-analog conversion process [1, 2, 3]. User manual confirmation is needed.
- Isolation: The module might have features like channel-to-channel and channel-to-ground isolation to prevent electrical noise or interference between channels and other system components [1, 2, 3]. User manual confirmation is needed.
Applications:
- Commonly used in various industrial automation applications controlled by GE Fanuc (now Emerson) PLC systems:
- Controlling the speed of variable speed drives for motors in conveyor belts or packaging machines [1, 2, 3].
- Regulating the flow rate of valves in process control applications [1, 2, 3].
- Adjusting the position of actuators in robotic or motion control systems [1, 2, 3].
Finding More Information:
Obtaining detailed specifications, wiring diagrams, and programming instructions for the FANUC HE693DAC410C is crucial for proper configuration and operation within your automation system. Here are ways to learn more about the analog output module:
- Horner Electric Website: While the HE series might be discontinued, Horner Electric might still offer resources or manuals on their website [1]. Search for HE693DAC410C or similar models for available information.
- GE Fanuc/Emerson Automation Website: GE Fanuc (now part of Emerson) might have compatibility information or resources for the HE693DAC410C within their automation systems documentation section [2]. Search for your specific PLC model and related I/O modules.
- Distributor or Supplier: If you purchased the module from a distributor or supplier, they might have technical information or resources available.
- Contact Horner Electric or Emerson Automation Support: Reach out to their respective customer support for information on the HE693DAC410C, including:
- User manuals and datasheets (if available)
- Compatibility information for specific GE Fanuc (Emerson) PLC systems
- Programming instructions or examples
Additional Considerations:
- System Compatibility: Ensure the HE693DAC410C is compatible with the specific PLC model used in your automation system [1, 2, 3]. Refer to user manuals or compatibility guides.
- Programming: Programming the PLC to send appropriate digital signals to the HE693DAC410C is required for controlling the analog voltage output [1, 2, 3]. Refer to PLC programming manuals for details.
If you’re working on a GE Fanuc (Emerson) automation system that uses the HE693DAC410C analog output module, consulting the user manuals or contacting the respective support teams is highly recommended. They can provide the most accurate details about compatibility, configuration, programming, and ensure proper operation within your specific system.
