The Omron CJ1W-DA08C is a high-performance analog output unit designed for use with the CJ1 series programmable logic controllers (PLCs). This module features 8 output points, each capable of individually configured signal ranges. The standard output signal range is 4 to 20 mA, making it suitable for industrial process control applications requiring current loop signals.

The unit offers a resolution of 1/4000, which can be optionally set to 1/8000 for higher precision. The conversion speed is 1 ms per point, with the capability to be configured for a faster conversion time of under 250 μs per point. The overall accuracy is rated at ±0.3%, ensuring reliable and consistent output performance.

Key functional features include output hold functionality, which maintains the last output value in the event of a communication or system error, and measurement functionality for diagnostic and monitoring purposes. The unit supports output retention, offset/gain adjustment, and scaling. Notably, scaling is supported on the CJ1W-DA08V, DA08C, and DA042V models, while offset/gain adjustment is not available on the CJ1W-DA042V.

The module is equipped with a removable terminal block for easy external wiring and maintenance. It also supports a consistent millisecond total processing capability, and models with direct conversion functionality are included in the product series. The CJ1W-DA042V variant offers a high-speed D/A conversion rate of 20 μs per point, enabling rapid response in time-critical applications.

This analog output unit is designed to convert binary data from the PLC into analog output signals, enabling the control of actuators, valves, and other analog devices. With the ability to output up to eight analog signals from a single unit, it provides a compact and efficient solution for multi-channel analog control systems.
