Acromag NT2310 Ethernet Analog Output Modules
The Acromag NT2310 is a high-performance Ethernet analog output module designed to bring precise current signal control to industrial automation systems. Built as part of the BusWorks® NT Series, the NT2310 combines network communication, analog output control, and expansion capabilities into a compact DIN-rail-mounted platform.
Each module provides eight independently controlled analog current outputs with 16-bit resolution, enabling accurate signal transmission for valves, actuators, drives, recorders, displays, and other process control equipment. Users can select either 0-20mA or 4-20mA output ranges to match application requirements.
Unlike traditional remote I/O solutions that require multiple network nodes, the NT2310 can be expanded with NT Series modules to support additional I/O channels under a single IP address. This architecture simplifies network management while reducing installation costs.
Features
Key Features & Benefits
- Multi-Protocol Flexibility
The NT2310 supports multiple industrial Ethernet protocols, including Modbus TCP/IP, EtherNet/IP, and PROFINET. This flexibility allows engineers to integrate the module into a wide range of PLC, SCADA, DCS, and industrial control architectures without changing hardware.
- High-Precision Analog Control
Eight isolated current outputs are driven by 16-bit digital-to-analog conversion technology, delivering the precision needed for demanding process applications. Configurable output ranges allow the module to support both legacy and modern control systems.
- Expand Beyond Eight Outputs
Need additional channels? The NT2310 can be paired with NT Series expansion modules, allowing users to scale their systems while maintaining a single Ethernet connection point. This reduces IP address consumption and simplifies system architecture.
- Industrial Networking Made Simple
Dual RJ45 Ethernet ports support daisy-chain network topologies, helping reduce switch requirements and wiring complexity in distributed control environments.
- IIoT-Ready Architecture
Modern facilities require more than basic I/O. The NT2310 includes support for OPC UA, MQTT, and RESTful API communications, helping bridge operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT) systems for Industry 4.0 initiatives.
- Reliable Industrial Performance
- 1500V isolation between power, network, and I/O
- Operating temperatures from -40°C to +70°C
- Compact 25mm-wide housing
- DIN rail mounting
- LED diagnostics for quick troubleshooting
- Hazardous location approvals available for industrial environments
