[Design Precautions]
WARNING
●In the case of a communication failure 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 input or output signal. These signals are reserved
for system use. Do not write any data to the "use prohibited" area 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 analog output status,
refer to the Page 76, Section 8.4.
(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 or power-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.
●Securely fix the module with a DIN rail.
●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 (extension module), the number of connections/disconnections is
limited to 50 times (IEC 61131-2 compliant).
●To connect an extension module to a main module, engage the respective connectors and securely
lock the module joint levers. Incorrect connection may cause malfunction, failure, or drop of the
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 100Ω
or less. Failure to do so may result in electric shock or malfunction.

[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 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. Failure to do so may cause the module to fail or malfunction.
CAUTION
●Do not disassemble or modify the module. Doing so may cause failure, malfunction, injury, or a fire.
●Do not drop or apply strong shock to the module. Doing so may damage the module.
●Shut off the external power supply (all phases) used in the system before mounting or removing a

1.2 Features
(1) Available flexible system configuration
Adopting the connection block type enables the combination of the main module and extension module.
Because various extension modules can be connected, a flexible configuration can be achieved.
In addition a poor contact of the extension module can be found promptly because the main module always
monitors the connection status of the extension module.
(2) Easy station number setting
Because of the rotary switch on the front of the module, setting and checking the station number are easy.
(3) Response improvement by high-speed conversion
The high-speed conversion of 100µs/channel is achieved.
(4) Reliability by high accuracy
High accuracy is achieved for the maximum value of analog output value: ±0.2% (ambient temperature: 25 ±5°C)
and ±0.3% (ambient temperature: 0 to 55°C).
(5) Switching scale available
The D/A conversion value to be converted can be scale-converted to any range.
The scale-conversion can be performed without a program according to the digital value to be input, thus the cost
can be saved.
The flexible combination is possible.
Extension output module (sink type)
Extension input module
Various extension modules can be
connected according to the application.
Connecting the extension module to
wires or Ethernet cables is not required.

1.2 Features
(6) Error detection and monitoring available
When a digital value exceeds the range set in advance, an alert is detected. Thus, an error of digital value can be
monitored and outputs of a digital value can be limited.
(7) Output available without influence from the sequence scan or link scan
An error status or alert status can be output from the extension output module by using the external signal
assignment function when an error or alert occurs.
The sequence scan or link scan does not influence this output.
(8) Various installation methods
The module can be installed in six directions using a DIN rail.
D/A converter module
Extension output module

occurred.
An error signal occurred in the D/A
converter module can be output to
the extension output module directly.

(9) Easy module replacement
Because the 2-piece structure is adopted for the terminal block for module power supply and FG and terminal
block for analog output signals, the module can be replaced with the wire connected. In addition, because the
terminal block for analog output signals is the lift-up structure, the terminal block can be lifted only by loosening
the terminal block mounting screw to be removed easily.
(10)Error history confirmation
The history of 15 errors and occurrence time are stored in the D/A converter module.
The error history helps the investigation for the cause when a problem occurs.
(11)Easy setting with CC IE Field configuration of GX Works2
Programming is reduced since the parameter can be configured on the screen with the CC IE Field configuration
of GX Works2. In addition, setting status and operation status of modules can be checked easily.
