1.2 Basic Operation of Analog Output Processing
1.2.1 Analog Output Processing
Analog output is processed as explained below.
Operation of analog output unit
(1) Writing digital data
A user program is used to write digital data to the output relay area (WY) on a channel-by-
channel basis so that the digital data will be output in analog form.
(2) Analog conversion processing
Data written to the unit is converted to an analog value in sequence automatically.
(3) Output to analog-driven equipment
Converted analog values are output to inverters or other analog-driven equipment.

NOTES
•Use double-core twisted-pair shielded wires for analog output signals.
•Ground the shielding of the shielded wire on the load equipment side.
However, depending on the conditions of the external noise, it may be
better to ground the shielding externally or not to ground the shielding.
•Do not place the analog output wiring close to AC lines, high-tension lines,
or load lines other than PLC wires or bundle the analog output and other
wires together.
•The NC terminals of the analog output terminal block are unused. Do not
use these terminals to relay wires because the terminals include those
connected internally.
