4. Functionality
The HSL-AI16AO2-M-VV operates as a distributed analog I/O node within an HSL-based control network. It connects to an HSL master controller (such as an ADLINK motion controller or industrial PC) via a high-speed serial link. The module continuously samples analog voltage signals from sensors, transducers, or process instruments connected to its 16 input channels. These signals are digitized and transmitted to the host controller for monitoring, logging, or closed-loop control.
Conversely, the two analog output channels can generate precise voltage signals to drive actuators, control valves, or provide reference voltages for external devices. The outputs are updated in real time based on commands from the host system.
Typical Use Cases:
- Industrial process monitoring (temperature, pressure, flow sensors with voltage outputs)
