Schneider STBACO1210 Analog Output Module 0-20mA

Schneider STBACO1210 2-Channel Analog Output Module

Product Introduction

The STBACO1210 belongs to the Advantys STB distributed I/O platform by Schneider Electric. This standard analog output module provides two single-ended channels for precise 0-20 mA current signals. Engineers choose it for process control, actuator driving, and signal conversion tasks in demanding factory environments. Meanwhile, the module supports hot swapping, so you can replace it without stopping the whole system. Its compact 13.9 mm I/O base saves valuable cabinet space.

Technical Specifications

The STBACO1210 offers two single-ended output channels with a 0-20 mA current range. Resolution reaches 12 bits, which gives smooth and accurate signal output. Integral linearity is ±0.1% FS typical, while accuracy stays at ±0.5% FS at 25 °C. Temperature drift is only ±0.01% FS/°C, ensuring stable performance across changing conditions. Each channel handles load impedance from 0 to 500 Ω. The external loop supply requires 19.2-30V DC from a 24V DC PDM. Response time is 3 ms plus settling, and the update time for both channels is 25 ms. Furthermore, short circuit protection is built in to guard against wiring faults.

Isolation and Electrical Data

Isolation between field and bus reaches 1500V DC, and channel-to-channel isolation is 30V DC. These ratings protect sensitive control circuits from electrical noise. The module draws 80 mA at 5V DC from the bus. Power comes through a 24V DC PDM, specifically the STBPDT3100. Additionally, the I/O base is the STBXBA1000 with a 13.9 mm width. This narrow design allows dense mounting in control panels.

Fallback and Hot Swapping Behavior

When communication fails, the STBACO1210 defaults to minimum output at 0 mA. However, you can configure it to hold the last value instead. This flexibility helps maintain safe process states during network interruptions. Hot swapping lets you remove and replace the module while the system runs. Therefore, maintenance downtime drops significantly, and production continuity improves.

Mechanical and Environmental Parameters

The module carries an IP20 protection rating, which suits clean cabinet installations. Operating and storage temperature data are not available in the current documentation. Besides, the 13.9 mm base width keeps panel space usage low. Field wiring connects through the STBXBA1000 base, and the PDM feeds power separately.

Installation Guide

First, mount the STBXBA1000 base onto a standard DIN rail. Next, snap the STBACO1210 module onto the base until it locks firmly. Then connect the 24V DC PDM, such as the STBPDT3100, to supply field power. After that, wire your 0-20 mA loads to the output terminals while observing polarity. Finally, configure the fallback mode through your Advantys STB network configuration tool. Always verify load impedance stays within 0-500 Ω for proper operation.
