Description

The 8104-AO-IP is an 8-channel analog output module engineered for precision 4–20 mA signal generation in industrial automation environments. This 8104-AO-IP module delivers 8 single-ended outputs with 12-bit resolution and ±0.25% span accuracy, making it ideal for driving I/P converters, remote indicators, and positioners. The 8104-AO-IP features open circuit detection on every channel, ensuring rapid fault identification. With 25 ms response time and FM non-incendive field wiring parameters, the 8104-AO-IP suits both general-purpose and hazardous area installations (Class 1, Div 2 / Zone 2).

Competitive Advantage

  • 8 High-Density Channels – Delivers eight 4–20 mA outputs in a compact 42 mm wide package, maximizing analog I/O density per rack slot

  • Integrated Open Circuit Detection – Each channel continuously monitors loop integrity, enabling immediate fault alerts without external diagnostic hardware

  • Hazardous Area Ready – FM non-incendive ratings (per-channel Vₐ꜀=28.7V, Iₐ꜀=33mA) permit direct installation in Class 1, Div 2 and Zone 2 environments

  • Fail-Safe Flexibility – Configurable initialization and drive-on-fail states (predefined value or last value) ensure predictable process behavior during system faults

  • Rapid Response – 25 ms maximum command-to-output transition enables precise control in dynamic process loops

  • Wide Compliance Range – Drives 20 mA into 700 Ω loads at 21.6 Vdc supply, accommodating long cable runs and high-impedance devices

Features

  • 8 Single-Ended Analog Outputs – 4–20 mA nominal signal range with 1–23 mA full-scale capability

  • 12-Bit Resolution – Fine-granularity output stepping for smooth, precise analog control

  • Open Loop Detection Per Channel – 0.7 ± 0.25 mA threshold for immediate broken-wire identification

  • Configurable Initialization State – User-defined output value upon module startup

  • Configurable Fail-Safe Behavior – Selectable predefined value or last known value on communication loss

  • Per-Channel Active/Inactive Status – Individual channel enable/disable for flexible system configuration

  • FM Non-Incendive Certification – Suitable for hazardous area installations with specified field wiring parameters

  • Compact 42 mm Form Factor – Space-efficient design for high-density control cabinets

Theory of Operation

The 8104-AO-IP operates as a digital-to-analog signal conditioning module, receiving digital setpoint commands from a host controller via the Rails bus communication interface. Upon command reception, the module’s internal 12-bit DAC converts each digital value into a corresponding analog current level within the 4–20 mA nominal range. Each output channel is single-ended and sources current to the connected field device (e.g., I/P converter, indicator, or valve positioner), with compliance sufficient to drive 20 mA into a 700 Ω load at 21.6 Vdc supply voltage.

The module continuously monitors each output loop for open-circuit conditions by sensing current below the 0.7 ± 0.25 mA threshold. When an open loop is detected, the channel status flag is set, alerting the host system for diagnostic action. The module derives operational power from two sources: the Rails bus (12V) for logic and communication circuitry, and an external 24 Vdc bussed field power supply for output drive stages. Upon system startup or communication failure, the module applies user-configurable initialization and fail-safe states—either holding a predefined value or latching the last valid output—ensuring process safety during fault conditions. Galvanic isolation of 100 Vac between any channel and the Rails bus protects the host system from field-side transients, though channels share a common reference (no inter-channel isolation).

FAQ

Q1: What is the 8104-AO-IP used for?
The 8104-AO-IP is an 8-channel analog output module that converts digital control signals into 4–20 mA current loops for driving I/P converters, remote process indicators, valve positioners, and other analog field instruments.

Q2: Does the 8104-AO-IP provide channel-to-channel isolation?
No. The 8104-AO-IP does not offer isolation between output channels—all channels share a common reference. However, 100 Vac isolation is provided between any channel and the Rails bus.

Q3: What happens if a field wiring break occurs?
The 8104-AO-IP features open circuit detection on each channel with a threshold of 0.7 ± 0.25 mA. When a broken wire is detected, the module flags the channel status for host system diagnostics.

Q4: Can the 8104-AO-IP be installed in hazardous areas?
Yes. The 8104-AO-IP carries FM non-incendive certification with per-channel parameters (Vₐ꜀=28.7V, Iₐ꜀=33mA, Cₐ=0.17μF, Lₐ=11.0mH), making it suitable for Class 1, Div 2 and Zone 2 installations.

Q5: What field terminal options are compatible with the 8104-AO-IP?
The 8104-AO-IP supports multiple field terminal options: 8602-FT-ST for general-purpose wiring, 8604-FT-FU for fused connections, 8601-FT-NI for non-incendive hazardous areas, and 8603-FT-FU for fused non-incendive applications.
