 Analog outputs (AO) are for controlling multi-state devices through levels of DC voltage or current. Devices, which can be controlled in such way are for example multiposition valves, light dimmers, servos, linear actuators etc. Analog outputs (AO) are for controlling multi-state devices through levels of DC voltage or current.

 An example of a 12V voltage connected to the AOV. The ground is connected to the AOG. The AOV then serves as a connector generating a positive voltage from the analogue input, which is routed to the AI1+. Thanks to this connection the user can read analog output value directly from the analog input.  An example of a 12V voltage connected to the AOV. The ground is connected to the AOG.
