ABB order code 1SAP250200R0001, type AO523, is a 16-channel S500 analog output module split between 8 channels switchable for voltage or current and 8 channels fixed to voltage output, at 13-bit resolution. It connects by single wire per channel, mounts in the same AC500 I/O system as other S500 modules, and carries an IP20 housing rating.
At 16 output channels, AO523 is the highest-density analog output module in the S500 range, aimed at applications driving many actuators or set-point inputs from one slot rather than stacking several 8-channel cards. The channel split, 8 configurable for U or I and 8 fixed to U, means current-loop outputs are limited to the first half of the module, so systems needing more than 8 current outputs still need an additional card. Its 13-bit resolution is coarser than an 8-channel, 16-bit output module in this range, which is the better choice when a smaller number of loops need finer step resolution.
