Chapter 1 Module Overview This chapter describes the 1769sc-IR6I and the conformally coated 176sc-IF6IK Isolated RTD/Resistance input modules and explains how the controller reads resistance temperature detector (RTD) or direct resistance-initiated analog input data from the modules. Other than the conformal coating, both modules are identical so all information applicable to the 1769sc-IR6I also applies to the K version.
Chapter 1: Module Overview RTD/Resistance Inputs and Ranges The table below lists the RTD and resistance types and their associated full-scale ranges, supported by the IR6I module. Table 1-1. RTD/Resistance Input Ranges Input Range ˚ Celsius ˚ Fahrenheit Input Type Pt 385 -200 to +850 -328 to 1562 Pt 3916...
Hardware Features The Isolated RTD/resistance module contains a removable terminal block (spare part number 1769-RTBN18) providing connections for six 3-wire inputs for any combination of RTD and resistance input devices. Channels are wired as differential inputs. Module configuration is normally done via the controller’s programming software.

24 VDC 190 mA 35 mA The system power supply may be a 1769-PA2, -PB2, -PA4, -PB4, or the internal supply of the MicroLogix 1500 packaged controller. The module cannot be located more than 8 modules away from the system power supply.
Chapter 1: Module Overview EXPLOSION HAZARD WARNING • Substitution of components may impair suitability for Class I, Division 2. Do not replace components or disconnect equipment unless power has been switched off or the area is known to be non-hazardous. •...
You can install as many modules as your power supply can support. However, all 1769 I/O modules have power supply distance ratings. The maximum I/O module rating is 8, which means that a module may not be located more than 8 modules away from the system power supply.
Chapter 1: Module Overview Mounting Keeping module free of debris and avoiding overheating: WARNING • Do not remove protective debris strip until after the module and all other equipment near the module is mounted and the wiring is complete. • Once wiring is complete, and the module is free of debris, carefully remove protective strip.

Chapter 1: Module Overview System Assembly The module can be attached to the controller or an adjacent I/O module before or after mounting. For mounting instructions, see Panel Mounting Using the Dimensional Template below, or DIN Rail Mounting. To work with a system that is already mounted, see Replacing a Single Module within a System.
5. Attach an end cap terminator (5) to the last module in the system by using the tongue-and-groove slots as before. 6. Lock the end cap bus terminator (6). A 1769-ECR or 1769-ECL right or left end cap respectively must be used WARNING to terminate the end of the 1769 communication bus.
Chapter 1: Module Overview Panel Mounting Using the Dimensional Template Figure 2-5. Dimensional Template Panel Mounting Procedure Using Modules as a Template The following procedure allows you to use the assembled modules as a template for drilling holes in the panel. If you have sophisticated panel mounting equipment, you can use the dimensional template provided on 8.

2-12 Chapter 2: Installation and Wiring 2.8.2 RTD Wiring Considerations Since the operating principle of the RTD module is based on the measurement of resistance, take special care when selecting your input cable. For 2-wire or 3- wire configurations, select a cable that has a consistent impedance throughout its entire length.
Chapter 1: Module Overview 2-13 • Use a heavy-gauge lead wire which has less resistance per foot. Terminal Door Label A removable, write-on label is provided with the module. Remove the label from the door, mark your unique identification of each terminal with permanent ink, and slide the label back into the door.
2-14 Chapter 2: Installation and Wiring 3. Tighten the terminal screw making sure the pressure plate secures the wire. Recommended torque when tightening terminal screws is 0.68 Nm (6 in-lbs). If you need to remove the finger-safe cover, insert a screwdriver into one NOTE of the square, wiring holes and gently pry the cover off.
Chapter 1: Module Overview 2-15 HAZARD OF DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT WARNING Be careful when stripping wires. Wire fragments that fall into a module could cause damage at power up. 3. At one end of the cable, twist the drain wire and foil shield together, bend them away from the cable, and apply shrink wrap.
LED turns on. If the module status LED does not turn on, cycle power. If the condition NOTE persists, contact your local distributor or Spectrum Controls for assistance. 2.9.2 Monitor Module Status to Check if the Module is Operating Correctly Module and channel configuration errors are reported to the controller.
Chapter 3 Module Data, Status, and Channel Configuration After installing the 1769sc-IR6I Isolated RTD/Resistance Input Module, you must configure it for operation, usually using the programming software compatible with the controller (for example, RSLogix 500 or RSLogix 5000). Once configuration is complete and reflected in the ladder logic, you need to operate the module and verify its configuration.
Chapter 3: Module, Data, Status, and Channel Configuration Configuring Channels After module installation, you must configure operation details, such as RTD type, temperature units, etc., for each channel. Channel configuration data for the module is stored in the controller configuration file, which is both readable and writable.
For information on configuring the module using RSLogix 500 (with MicroLogix 1500 controller), see Appendix B; for RSLogix 5000 (CompactLogix controller), see Appendix C; for RSNetworx (1769-ADN), see Appendix D. The structure and bit settings are shown in the section below.

Chapter 3: Module, Data, Status, and Channel Configuration If you select the raw/proportional data format for a channel, the data word will be a number between -32767 and +32767. For example, if a Pt 385 RTD is selected, the lowest temperature of -200 °C corresponds to -32767 counts. The highest temperature of 850 °C corresponds to +32767.
Chapter 3: Module, Data, Status, and Channel Configuration 3.2.7 Determining Open-Circuit Response (Bits 5 and 6) An open-circuit condition occurs when an input device or its extension wire is physically separated or open. This can happen if the wire is cut or disconnected from the terminal block.

The bit is set (1) when an open-circuit condition exists.
Chapter 4 Diagnostics and Troubleshooting This chapter describes troubleshooting the isolated RTD/Resistance input module. This chapter contains information on: Safety considerations while troubleshooting • • Internal diagnostics during module operation • Module errors Safety Considerations Safety considerations are an important element of proper troubleshooting procedures.
The module performs diagnostic operations at both the module level and the channel level. Module-level operations include functions such as power-up, configuration, and communication with a 1769 bus master, such as a MicroLogix 1500 controller, 1769-ADN DeviceNet Adapter, or CompactLogix controller.
Chapter 4: Diagnostics and Troubleshooting Channel Diagnostics When an input channel is enabled, the module performs a diagnostic check to see that the channel has been properly configured. In addition, the channel is tested on every scan for configuration errors, over-range and under-range, and open- circuit conditions.
Check the extended error information field when a non-zero value is present in the module error field. Depending upon the value in the module error field, the extended error information field can contain error codes that are module-specific or common to all 1769 analog modules. User’s Manual Pub. 0300241-02 Rev. A...
Chapter 4: Diagnostics and Troubleshooting If no errors are present in the module error field, the extended error NOTE information field is set to zero. 4.6.3 Hardware Errors General or module-specific hardware errors are indicated by module error code 001. See Extended Error Codes below. 4.6.4 Configuration Errors If you set the fields in the configuration file to invalid or unsupported values, the module generates a critical error.
Some controllers support the module inhibit function. See your controller manual for details. Whenever the 1769sc-IR6I module is inhibited, the module continues to provide information about changes at its inputs to the 1769 CompactBus master (for example, a CompactLogix controller).
