Schneider Electric 170AAO12000

Schneider Electric 170AAO12000 Analog Output Module

The Schneider Electric 170AAO12000 is a precision analog output module designed for the Modicon Momentum automation platform. Engineered to deliver consistent and accurate analog signals to industrial systems, this module is ideal for process control applications requiring voltage or current output signals. Measuring 5.57 inches wide, 4.92 inches high, and 1.87 inches deep, the 170AAO12000 fits compactly within standard enclosures and control panels, offering high-density output capability without compromising space or efficiency. With four analog output channels, this module provides reliable communication between your automation system and analog actuators, such as valves or variable speed drives.

Advanced Output Performance and Accuracy

The 170AAO12000 offers four analog outputs, each supporting multiple signal formats including ±10 V and 0–20 mA. These outputs are driven by a 16-bit signed data format, ensuring exceptional resolution and signal fidelity for demanding applications. Accuracy is a hallmark of this model, with absolute error margins as low as ±0.2% of full scale at 77°F (25°C) for ±10 V signals, and ±0.3% for current outputs. Even at elevated temperatures up to 140°F (60°C), the module maintains remarkable stability with minimal drift. With an update time of less than 2 milliseconds, the module delivers fast, real-time responsiveness in dynamic control environments.

Durability, Safety, and Protection Features

Built for reliability, the Schneider 170AAO12000 includes several protective features, such as internal 2 A slow-blow fuses, reverse polarity protection, and short-circuit protection on the voltage circuit. Isolation between channels and ground is rated at 500 V AC for one minute, enhancing system safety and reducing interference. The permissible common-mode voltage is 250 V AC or DC between channels and ground, providing operational security in electrically noisy environments. The fail-safe states are configurable, allowing outputs to hold, reset to full scale, or reset to zero in case of faults, ensuring safe and predictable system behavior.

Power Requirements and LED Signaling

This analog module requires external power supplies of ±30 V DC and 24 V DC. The current consumption is 150 mA for actuator power and 530 mA for base power. With four integrated status LEDs—one for each channel—operators can easily monitor the operational state of each output in real-time. The module is CE marked and conforms to international standards, making it a reliable choice for global installations. Backed by a 2-year MRO Electric and Supply warranty, free shipping, and immediate availability, the 170AAO12000 is ready for deployment in your automation system today.
