ABB AO568 S500-eCo 8-Channel Analog Output Module
Eight configurable outputs double the AO562 channel density while retaining the S500-eCo voltage and current range set.
Overview
ABB AO568 is the eight-channel analog output member of the S500-eCo range. Channels O0 through O7 form one group and can be configured for the supported voltage or current signals. ABB specifies 13-bit resolution including sign, a 0.125 kg module weight and separate 9-pin plus 11-pin removable terminal blocks. AO568 is designed for fixed AC500-eCo installations and is not identified as a hot-swappable module.

Features
Functional Highlights
- Provides eight configurable output channels in one S500-eCo position.
- Allows voltage or current mode to be assigned for the documented channel functions.
- Supports signed conversion for bipolar -10 to +10 V operation.
- Uses one output group across O0 through O7.
- Employs two removable terminal blocks for orderly field wiring.
- Retains compact AC500-eCo integration while increasing output-channel density.
Exact Product Identity
- Manufacturer: ABB
- Model: AO568
- Product Type: AC500-eCo analog output module
- Status: Active product
Applications
- Eight-loop analog command panels for compact process equipment.
- Multi-drive or multi-actuator setpoint distribution using supported signal types.
- AC500-eCo stations that need more output density than AO562 supplies.
- Machine upgrades that consolidate several analog references into one module.
- Like-for-like service replacement where the two terminal blocks and channel map are preserved.
Lifecycle
- ABB lists the standard AO568 article as Active.
- AO568 and AO562 share signal-range concepts but differ in channel count and terminal arrangement.
- The 9-pin and 11-pin removable blocks are separate accessories.
- Because hot swap is not supported, use the approved shutdown and isolation procedure.
- Validate all eight output channels, including zero, span and connected-device response, after replacement.
FAQ
What is the principal channel-count difference between AO568 and AO562?
AO568 provides eight outputs, whereas AO562 provides four.
Are AO568 outputs arranged in more than one group?
No. ABB identifies O0 through O7 as one group.
Which terminal blocks are required by AO568?
The module uses separate removable 9-pin and 11-pin terminal blocks.
What conversion resolution does AO568 use?
ABB specifies 13 bits including sign.
Can AO568 be selected only by matching the signal range?
No. Match article number, channel count, group layout, terminal blocks and controller configuration.
What commissioning check is important for an eight-channel AO568?
Verify the configured range, scaling and controlled-device response separately on every output.
