Preface Overview This manual describes how to migrate from 1756, 6-channel isolated analog I/O modules to their newer 8-channel isolated counter parts in the 1756 analog I/O platform. Migration Services Throughout the product lifecycle, as products mature, Rockwell Automation will be there as your partner to help you get the most out of your current equipment, to help you determine your next steps, and to help you lay out a plan for the transition to newer technology.
1492 cable. For example, if you have an existing application with a 1756-IF6I module used in Voltage mode that is wired with 1492 products, you would be using a 1492-AIFM6S-3 terminal block.
If your existing system does not already use 1492 products then you must replace and rewire your existing RTB. See Appendix B, RTB Wiring for examples of converting from the existing 6 channel RTB to the new 8 channel RTB. Rockwell Automation Publication 1756-RM011A-EN-P - June 2016...
All data to or from an 8-channel module is rearranged from a 6-channel module format to an 8-channel module format. The controller still sends data in the 1756-IF6I format but firmware internally moves data to the 1756-IF8I format. 1756-IF6I configuration example controller...

Emulation Mode Figure 1 shows the data sent from IF6I to IF8I. Figure 1 - IF6I Configuration Example Figure 2 shows how the IF8I sees the data internally. Figure 2 - 1756-IF8I Data Example Rockwell Automation Publication 1756-RM011A-EN-P - June 2016...
Calibration RPI and RTS Values of 6- Channel vs. 8- Channel Modules 16 Cold Junction Compensation on Thermocouple Modules Using an External Loop Supply with the 1756-IF6CIS Backplane Power Current Draw Depending on the module, configuration, and operating conditions, 8-channel modules can draw more backplane power than their 6-channel counter parts.
For example, if you are using a 1756-IF6I with the RPI set to 25 ms and the RTS set to 50 ms, the IF6I scans and changes the actual input data at the 50 ms RTS rate.
CJC resistor that is electrically compatible with 1756 modules. Using an External Loop The 1756-IF6CIS module can be used to supply loop power to an end device. The module can simplify wiring and reduce the cost of installation by Supply with the eliminating the need for an external loop supply.
IF6CIS are supplying loop power, and there is no additional work required. One or more 1756-IF6CIS channels use external loop supply If one or more RTB VOUT-x terminals are unused and one or more RTB RTN-x terminals are used, then one or more of the IF6CIS channels has an external loop supply, and you must use the following format.

Module Reconfigure MSG, Issue a CIP Generic Device Reset MSG, or Inhibit and Uninhibit the IF6CIS after any applied Configuration Tab changes. WARNING: The 1756-IF6CIS module, when used for sourcing, has a sourcing voltage maximum of 30V DC and a sourcing current maximum of 30 mA. The 1756-IF8I module, when used for sourcing, has a sourcing voltage maximum of 38V DC and a sourcing current maximum of 45 mA.

1 and 2. A 6-channel module can be updated if any owning connection was in Run mode. An 8-channel input module (catalog number 1756-IF8I or 1756-IRT8I) in Emulation mode can only be updated if there are no owner connections to the module.
We strongly recommend that you do not use Disable Keying. If you use Disable Keying, you must take full responsibility for understanding whether the device being used can fulfill the functional requirements of the application. Rockwell Automation Publication 1756-RM011A-EN-P - June 2016...
“Mode or State of module doesn’t allow object to perform requested service” error because it didn’t accept a “Device Reset” CIP generic message. Under the same conditions, a 6-channel module would accept a Device Reset command. Rockwell Automation Publication 1756-RM011A-EN-P - June 2016...
The examples in this section show the communication formats for the 6- and 8- channel modules. 1756-IF8I Communication Formats The 1756-IF8I will support all of the following 6-channel modules and their respective Communication Formats: 1756-IRT8I Communication Formats The 1756-IF8I will support all of the following 6-channel modules and their...
Application Conversion Chapter 4 1756-OF8I Communication Formats The 1756-OF8I will support all of the following 6-channel modules and their respective Communication Formats: Configuration When used in Emulation mode, all 8-channel modules will accept configuration data in the 6-channel module style. Therefore, any way the 6-channel module configuration data is generated, the 8-channel module will accept it.
Mismatch and an Internal State of 16#0065 unknown (if in Run mode) or 16#0075 unknown (if in Program mode). Mismatch and “unknown” does not create any issues. See KB ID 581299 for more information on Mismatch and “unknown”. Rockwell Automation Publication 1756-RM011A-EN-P - June 2016...
