Analog Output Module Environment and Enclosure This equipment is intended for use in a Pollution Degree 2 industrial environment, in overvoltage Category II applications (as defined in IEC publication 60664–1), at altitudes up to 2000 meters without derating. This equipment is considered Group 1, Class A industrial equipment according to IEC/CISPR Publication 11.

When not in use, keep modules in appropriate static–safe packaging. The 1771-OFE module can be used with any 1771 I/O chassis. Compatibility and data table use is listed below. The analog output module receives its power through the 1771 I/O chassis backplane from the chassis power supply.

Analog Output Module Place your module in any I/O module slot of the I/O chassis except for the left-most slot. This slot is reserved for PC processors or adapter modules. Group your modules to minimize adverse affects ATTENTION from radiated electrical noise and heat. We recommend the following.

The output then enables with the value that you send it in the block transfer write block. • We ship 1771-OFE modules with the LAST STATE configuration jumpers in the MID position. Switch 1 of the I/O rack affects the function of the ATTENTION configuration settings as indicated in the table below.

Analog Output Module The 1771–OFE modules are a modular component of the 1771 I/O system requiring a properly installed system chassis. Refer to publication 1771–IN075 for detailed information on acceptable chassis and proper installation and grounding requirements. Limit the maximum adjacent slot power dissipation to 10W maximum. Connect your I/O devices to the cat.

Analog Output Module Because of the many analog devices available and the wide variety of possible applications, you must configure the module to conform to the analog device and specific application that you have chosen. Use the configuration information below to configure your module to your specifications.
