6ES7232-4HD32-0XB0 SM 1232 4-Channel Analog Output Module ±10V/0-20mA | Siemens

The Original New Siemens 6ES7232-4HD32-0XB0 SIMATIC S7-1200 SM 1232 Analog Output Module is a 4-channel analog output signal module designed for precise control of actuators, valves, drives, and other analog devices in industrial automation systems. Each of the 4 outputs is individually configurable for voltage (±10V, 14-bit resolution) or current (0-20mA/4-20mA, 13-bit resolution), providing flexible connectivity for a wide range of field devices. Housed in a compact 45 x 100 x 75 mm enclosure and compatible with all S7-1200 CPUs (except CPU 1211C), this module delivers reliable analog output control for machine automation, process control, and OEM applications.
