?️  Module features and advantages

?  8-channel independent analog output

One board outputs 8 analog signals, suitable for multi-point control requirements and improving system control density.

?  Voltage/current free switching

Each channel supports 020mA output, with software configuration and strong adaptability.

?  High precision 16 bit output

High resolution DAC ensures output accuracy and meets the requirements of process control systems.

?  Compact structure, space saving

The RSTi EP series module is most suitable for control cabinets, with an ultra-thin design that saves wiring and installation space.

?  Unrelated to the main station protocol, modules are uniformly connected
