Mitsubishi FX5-4DA MELSEC iQ-F 4‑Channel Analog Output Module 1/32000 Resolution

Mitsubishi Electric MELSEC iQ-F FX5-4DA is a 4-channel analog output intelligent function module for FX5 series PLCs. Converts digital values from the CPU into precise analog voltage or current signals for industrial process control and machine automation.

Applications:

• Speed reference for variable frequency drives and servo motors

• Proportional valve and electric actuator positioning

• Process control analog signal generation (4‑20 mA loops)

• SCADA system analog output expansion

• OEM equipment requiring multi‑channel analog control

Core Specifications:

• Number of analog output channels: 4 (independent channel configuration)

• Output signal types (selectable per channel):

  • Voltage: 0‑10 V, 0‑5 V, 1‑5 V, –10 to +10 V DC

  • Current: 0‑20 mA, 4‑20 mA DC (external load resistance ≤ 500 Ω)

• Resolution: 1/32000 (approx. 15 bits)

• Voltage resolution: 0.625 mV (0‑10 V) / 0.3125 mV (–10 to +10 V)

• Current resolution: 0.625 µA (0‑20 mA) / 0.5 µA (4‑20 mA)

System Integration:

• This analog output module belongs to the Mitsubishi Electric MELSEC iQ‑F series.

• Connects to the right side of FX5U, FX5UC, FX5UJ, FX5S CPU modules via the extension connector.

• For FX5UC CPU modules, FX5‑CNV‑IFC or FX5‑C1PS‑5V conversion adapter is required.

• D/A conversion is performed when digital values are set in special registers assigned to each channel.

• Programming and configuration performed using GX Works3 engineering software.
