In industrial processes, there is a need for accurate and robust control of actuators that manage process parameters such as flow, temperature, and pressure. Precision analog output modules, known as programmable logic controllers (PLCs) or distributed control systems (DCS), produce voltage or current outputs used to govern such actuators. These modules need to deliver robust, reliable, and precise outputs in harsh industrial environments.
Read this design note to learn how the combination of the AD5423 single-channel, 16-bit I/V output DAC and ADG5401F overvoltage protected SPST switch from Analog Devices align with these control needs and are suited to the requirements for analog output modules.
Together, the AD5423 and the ADG5401F offer the precision and robustness required by industrial process control applications. The AD5423’s 16-bit I/V output provides the accurate control signals required for modern analog output modules, while the ADG5401F maintains that precision and provides robust protection against external stresses in harsh environments.
