National Instruments REM-11115

The National Instruments REM-11115 (Part Number: 784749-01) is a versatile 2-Wire, 4-Channel Analog Output Module tailored for remote I/O applications. Integrating seamlessly with EtherCAT bus couplers and real-time controllers, this module excels in delivering both current and voltage outputs through its user-friendly 2-wire spring terminals, which facilitate tool-free wiring. The REM-11115 supports four selectable voltage output ranges (0 V to 10 V, ±10 V, 0 V to 5 V, and ±5 V) and two current output ranges (4 mA to 20 mA or 0 mA to 20 mA), providing flexibility for various industrial uses such as controlling actuators and devices. Each of its four analog outputs is powered by 16-bit digital-to-analog converters, ensuring high-resolution signal generation. The module features essential protective measures, including integrated overload and short-circuit protection, as well as a suppressor diode for transient protection. Operating on a 24 VDC power supply (with a permissible range of 19.2 to 30 VDC), the REM-11115 draws 5 VDC communication power from the bus connector, consuming approximately 120 mA and 2.04 watts during typical operation. It connects to backend control systems at a transmission speed of up to 100 MBits/s, making it a reliable choice for enhancing low-cost I/O systems. The module measures 4.96 in. x 1.38 in. x 2.13 in. and weighs 5.11 oz., backed by a 2-3 year warranty.
