The AIO208 is a multifunctional 8-channel analog module for the Bachmann M1 automation system, combining both input and output functionality in a single card. Optimized for high-speed data acquisition and closed-loop control, it is ideal for applications such as hydraulic valve positioning, motor speed control, and temperature regulation. The module features 16-bit input resolution, 12-bit output resolution, and 500 V galvanic isolation for precise, noise-immune signal handling in harsh industrial environments.

Closed-loop control for hydraulic actuators, motors, and valves.
Industrial temperature, pressure, and flow control.
High-speed PID loops where low latency and deterministic response are critical.
Combines the functionality of AI208 (input only) and AO208 (output only), saving rack space.
Superior sampling rates compared to GIO212 for standard analog signals.
Optimized for high-dynamic motion and pressure control tasks, unlike general-purpose modules.
Q: Can I mix voltage and current signals on the same AIO208?
A: Yes, each channel is independently configurable via Bachmann SolutionCenter.
Q: Does the AIO208 require an external power supply?
A: Internal logic is powered via the M1 backplane; analog outputs typically require a 24 VDC field supply.
