SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
(Read these precautions before using this product.)
Before using this product, please read this manual and the relevant manuals carefully and pay full attention
to safety to handle the product correctly.
The precautions given in this manual are concerned with this product only. For the safety precautions of the
programmable controller system, refer to the user's manual for the CPU module used.
In this manual, the safety precautions are classified into two levels: " WARNING" and " CAUTION".
Under some circumstances, failure to observe the precautions given under " CAUTION" may lead to
serious consequences.
Observe the precautions of both levels because they are important for personal and system safety.
Make sure that the end users read this manual and then keep the manual in a safe place for future
reference.
[Design Precautions]
WARNING
●When a communication failure occurs in the network, data in the master module are held. Check Data
link status (each station) (SW00B0 to SW00B7) and configure an interlock circuit in the program to
ensure that the entire system will operate safely.
●Do not use any “use prohibited” signals as a remote I/O signal. Do not write any data to the "use
prohibited" areas in the remote register. If these operations are performed, correct operation of the
module cannot be guaranteed.
●Configure safety circuits external to the programmable controller to ensure that the entire system
operates safely even when a fault occurs in the external power supply or the programmable controller.
Failure to do so may result in an accident due to an incorrect output or malfunction.
(1) The status of analog output depends on the setting of various functions that control the analog
output. Exercise great caution when setting those functions. For details of the status of analog
output, refer to Page 92, Section 8.7.
(2) Due to failure of the output element or internal circuit, normal output may not be obtained
correctly. Configure an external circuit for monitoring output signals that could cause a serious
accident.
WARNING
CAUTION
Indicates that incorrect handling may cause hazardous conditions,
resulting in death or severe injury.
Indicates that incorrect handling may cause hazardous conditions,
resulting in minor or moderate injury or property damage.

[Wiring Precautions]
CAUTION
●Do not install the control lines or communication cables together with the main circuit lines or power
cables. Keep a distance of 100mm or more between them. Failure to do so may result in malfunction
due to noise.
●At power-on/off, a voltage may occur or a current may flow between output terminals for a moment. In
this case, start the control after analog outputs become stable.
WARNING
●Shut off the external power supply (all phases) used in the system before mounting or removing a
module. Failure to do so may result in electric shock or cause the module to fail or malfunction.
CAUTION
●Use the module in an environment that meets the general specifications in this manual. Failure to do
so may result in electric shock, fire, malfunction, or damage to or deterioration of the product.
●Do not directly touch any conductive parts and electronic components of the module. Doing so can
cause malfunction or failure of the module.
●After the first use of the product, do not connect/remove the extension module more than 50 times
(IEC 61131-2 compliant). Exceeding the limit may cause malfunction.
●To connect an extension module to a main module, engage the respective connectors and securely
lock the module joint levers. Incorrect interconnection may cause malfunction, failure, or drop of the
extension module.
●Securely connect the cable connectors. Poor contact may cause malfunction.
WARNING
●Shut off the external power supply (all phases) used in the system before wiring. Failure to do so may
result in electric shock or cause the module to fail or malfunction.
CAUTION
●Individually ground the FG terminal of the programmable controller with a ground resistance of 100
ohms or less. Failure to do so may result in electric shock or malfunction.
●Tighten any unused terminal screws within the specified torque range. Undertightening can cause a
short circuit due to contact with a solderless terminal.

[Wiring Precautions]
[Startup and Maintenance Precautions]
CAUTION
●Use applicable solderless terminals and tighten them within the specified torque range. If any spade
solderless terminal is used, it may be disconnected when a terminal block screw comes loose,
resulting in failure.
●Check the rated voltage and terminal layout before wiring to the module, and connect the cables
correctly. Connecting a power supply with a different voltage rating or incorrect wiring may cause a fire
or failure.
●Tighten the terminal block screws within the specified torque range. Undertightening can cause short
circuit, fire, or malfunction. Overtightening can damage the screw and/or module, resulting in drop,
short circuit, fire, or malfunction.
●Prevent foreign matter such as dust or wire chips from entering the module. Such foreign matter can
cause a fire, failure, or malfunction.
●Place the cables in a duct or clamp them. If not, dangling cable may swing or inadvertently be pulled,
resulting in damage to the module or cables or malfunction due to poor contact.
●Do not install the control lines or communication cables together with the main circuit lines or power
cables. Keep a distance of 100mm or more between them. Failure to do so may result in malfunction
due to noise.
●When disconnecting the cable from the module, do not pull the cable by the cable part. For the cable
with connector, hold the connector part of the cable. For the cable connected to the terminal block,
loosen the terminal screw. Pulling the cable connected to the module may result in malfunction or
damage to the module or cable.
●When an overcurrent caused by an error of an external device or a failure of the programmable
controller flows for a long time, it may cause smoke and fire. To prevent this, configure an external
safety circuit, such as a fuse.
●Mitsubishi Electric programmable controllers must be installed in control panels. Wiring and
replacement of a module must be performed by qualified maintenance personnel with knowledge of
protection against electric shock. For wiring methods, refer to "INSTALLATION AND WIRING" in this
manual.
WARNING
●Do not touch any terminal while power is on. Doing so will cause electric shock or malfunction.
●Shut off the external power supply (all phases) used in the system before cleaning the module or
retightening the terminal block screws or connector screws. Failure to do so may cause the module to
fail or malfunction.

1.2 Features
(1) Flexible system configuration
The employed connection block type provides the combined use of a main module and an extension module.
A flexible configuration can be achieved because various extension modules can be connected.
In addition, the main module always monitors the connection status of the extension module, leading to an early
detection of connection failure.
(2) Easy setting of station numbers
Station numbers are set with the rotary switch on the front of the module, where setting and checking the station
numbers are easy.
(3) Improved response by high-speed conversion
The high-speed conversion, 100s/channel, has been achieved.
(4) Reliability with high accuracy
The obtained accuracy for the maximum value of analog output value is high: 0.2% at an ambient temperature
of 25 5; and 0.3% at an ambient temperature of 0 to 55.
(5) D/A conversion at any desired timing
D/A conversion is performed on a digital value immediately after the input of a trigger output request for each
channel.
The combination with the external signal assignment function allows direct input of a trigger output request from
the extension input module, which has the following advantages:
• Being free from the effect of the sequence scan and link scan, analog output values can be constantly
obtained at a given timing, which leads to the improvement of the reliability.
• Analog output values can be obtained without any program, which leads to a reduction in the cost of creating
a program.
Flexible combinations are possible.

1.2 Features
(6) Change to any scale
D/A conversion values can be converted to be within any scale, the range of which is determined arbitrarily.
According to a digital value to be input, the scale can be changed without any program, resulting in cost
reduction.
(7) Error detection and error monitoring
An alert issued for a digital value exceeding the range set in advance allows monitoring abnormality of a digital
value and limiting the output of a digital value.
(8) Output without an influence of the sequence scan and link scan
Using the external signal assignment function allows the output of an error status or an alert status from the
extension output module in the event of an error or an alert.
This output is free from the influence of the sequence scan and link scan.
(9) Support for the CC-Link IE Field Network synchronous communication
function
D/A conversion can be performed with a synchronization period of the master station that supports the CC-Link
IE Field Network synchronous communication function.
This enables the D/A converter module to operate at the same timing of other slave stations sharing the same
network.
Main D/A converter module
Extension output module
An error has
occurred.
An error signal occurred in the D/A
converter module can be output to
the extension output module directly.
Error lamp
(external device)
Programming is not necessary to
turn on an error lamp when an error
occurs.

18
(10)Various installation methods
The module can be installed in six directions using a DIN rail.
(11)Easy module replacement
The terminal block for module power supply and FG, and the terminal block for analog output signals have a two-
piece structure, where the module can be replaced with the wire connected. In addition, the terminal block for
analog output signals has a lift-up structure, where the terminal block lifts only by loosening the terminal block
mounting screw, enabling it to be removed easily.
(12)Check on the error history
The history of the last 15 errors and occurrence time is stored in the main D/A converter module.
Checking the error information of the past helps to identify the cause at the time of a trouble.
(13)Easy settings by CC IE Field configuration of the engineering tool
The CC IE Field configuration of the engineering tool makes it possible to set parameters on its window, thereby
reducing the programs. In addition, the setting status and the operating status of modules can be checked easily.
