AO-A3 2 additional Analog Output

Why Choose the Yaskawa AO-A3 Analogue Monitor Option Card?

The Yaskawa AO-A3 is a dedicated analogue output monitor option card designed for compatible Yaskawa AC inverter drives. It expands the drive’s analogue output capability, allowing users to monitor key drive performance values such as output frequency, output current and other configurable drive parameters.

This option card is ideal for machine builders, panel builders and automation engineers who need accurate analogue signal outputs for external meters, PLC analogue inputs, data acquisition systems or process monitoring equipment. By installing the AO-A3, users can provide additional analogue monitor signals directly from the drive for improved visibility and system integration.

The AO-A3 provides two analogue output channels with 11-bit signed output resolution and a -10 to +10 V DC non-isolated output range. It is commonly used with Yaskawa 1000-series and compatible industrial drives, including A1000, GA700, U1000 and L1000A drive families.
