G4F-DA3V

Description

8-channel voltage-type D/A module for the LS G4/GM4 PLC family; outputs up to ±10 V per channel. Converts digital values into analog voltage commands for devices that accept ±10 V signals.

The Polar Energy Assessment:

The G4F-DA3V supplies eight voltage outputs (DC –10 V to +10 V) with 12-bit conversion resolution, designed for control tasks that require voltage commands (metric drives, older instrumentation, analog actuators). Documented alongside other DA modules in LS product manuals.

Pros

• 8 voltage channels for moderate analog output density.
• ±10 V range covers many legacy and industrial control interfaces.

Limitations

• Voltage outputs are more susceptible to noise over long runs than 4–20 mA unless routed carefully.
• If your downstream devices expect current loops (4–20 mA), you’ll need converters or a DA-I module.

Typical use cases

• Controlling devices that accept ±10 V command signals (analog drives, some actuators).
• Panels that standardize on voltage outputs for interoperability with legacy equipment.
• OEM systems on the G4 platform requiring multiple voltage outputs.
