Datasheet PR505x511

I/O modules and communication

Issued 4 November 2026

CAN bus to 0-10 V and 4-20 mA, with Wi-Fi

Article number PR505x511

PR505 module in DIN rail enclosure, angled top view: buttons SW1 to SW3, LEDs, Wi-Fi hotspot and screw terminals

The PR505x511 listens on a CAN bus for a set message and converts a value from it into a 0-10 V and a 4-20 mA output. This lets you drive an analogue device, such as a valve driver, meter or older controller, from a machine or vehicle with a CAN network. If the message stops arriving, the outputs go to an adjustable safe value. Message ID, position of the value in the message and scaling are set through the Wi-Fi hotspot.

Price on request. Supplied in series, from 10 units per item. Not in stock? Then we build your series. One or a few units only as a trial, for a company with a series in sight.
