# ENP-AO6 M2
The ENP-AO6 M2 module has 6 universal analog outputs, each configurable by software* to operate in voltage or current output mode. Supports negative output. Designed for controlling frequency converters, modulating control valves, dimmable lamps, and other devices.
The ENP-AO6 M2 module features a wired bus interface based on the Enapter Link protocol, enabling multiple modules to be linked and ensures reliable communication and seamless integration with top-level systems, such as the Enapter Gateway. It also includes wireless Wi-Fi capabilities for secure data transmission and control via the Enapter Gateway and/or Enapter Cloud.
* - Changing the channel mode in a working setup can potentially damage connected equipment. This occurs because the mode is changed first, followed by setting the output value. During this short interval, the equipment could be exposed to voltages between ±15V. Change the mode before connecting the third-party equipment to avoid potential damage.

** – The terminator is a resistor used at the ends of a differential data bus, to reduce signal reflections. The module has a built-in terminator, which can be enabled if the device is positioned at the end of the bus. However, in some cases, even if the device is at the end of the bus, enabling the terminator may degrade or disrupt communication. This depends on various factors, such as baud rate, line length, signal rise time, and the characteristics of connected third-party equipment, which cannot be predicted in advance.
General recommendation: Try enabling the terminator if communication is unstable. For short line lengths (less than one meter) and relatively low baud rates (such as 115200), enabling the terminator is likely unnecessary.

# Module Overview
# Dimensions
The dimensions are in mm and in brackets in inch.
# Wired Connection Example
Here you can find an example connection, where a modulating control valve is connected to the first channel and a dimmable lamp to the sixth channel of the module.
The module is connected to the Enapter Link bus alongside other Enapter modules. The Enapter Link bus requires terminators at both ends, which is built into the module and can be enabled via a DIP switch if the module is positioned at the end of the bus. (Note that while separate resistors are shown in the diagram, they should not be used if the internal terminator is enabled.)
# Wireless Connection Example
Here you can find an example of a wireless connection, where the module is connected to the same analog outputs as in the previous example, where a modulating control valve is connected to the first channel and a dimmable lamp to the sixth channel of the module. However, unlike the wired Enapter Link connection, the setup and data exchange occur through a secure Wi-Fi network. For instructions on configuring the wireless connection, please refer to the Quick Start Guide.
# Warnings
WARNING
Alternating current voltage of 110 - 220 V is potentially lethal!
All works on assembly and installation should be performed only with a disconnected power supply!
The installation and assembly of device must be carried out by electrician in accordance with the applicable regulations.
# Safety Instructions
WARNING
This device must be mounted on a DIN rail in an electrical distribution enclosure accordingly with this manual to ensure protection against contact, water and dust.
This device must not be used as part of safety-critical systems.
Edge processing scripting should be used as a convenience feature for basic non-realtime automation and not for life-sustaining or safety-critical use cases. Normal operation depends on working internet, Wi-Fi, and Enapter Cloud. Enapter is not responsible for any harms or losses incurred as a result of any failed automation.
