If it is possible then how? If this is not possible can I access an analog output module through a FM 458-1DP if I put the analog output card in the same rack with FM458-1DP? I attach the configuration with this post. Please Help! Attachment config.JPG (437 Downloads)

You can get converter modules from almost anywhere, the most popular being Pheonix or Knick. Make sure the converter has a sampling rate fast enough for your application.
