    Overview Chapter 1 System Overview The module communicates to the controller through the bus interface. The module also receives 5 and 24V DC power through the bus interface. You can install as many analog modules as your power supply can support.
  • Page 12 Chapter 1 Overview The channel status words are described in the Input Data File on page The controller uses two’s complement binary data when communicating with the module. This typically occurs at the end of the program scan or when commanded by the control program. If the controller and the module determine that the bus data transfer was made without error, the input data is used in your control program and the output data is used by the module.

    Installation and Wiring Chapter 2 6. To allow communication between the controller and module, move the bus lever fully to the left (4) until it clicks. Make sure it is locked firmly in place. When attaching I/O modules, it is very important that ATTENTION the bus connectors are securely locked together to be sure of proper electrical connection.

  • Page 18: Mount To A Panel

    Chapter 2 Installation and Wiring Mount to a Panel Mount the module to a panel by using two screws per module. Use M4 or #8 panhead screws. Mounting screws are required on every module. Panel Mounting By Using the Dimensional Template Locate holes every 17.5 mm (0.689 in.) to allow for a mix of single-wide and one-and-a-half-wide modules (for example, the 1769-OA16 module).

  • Page 19: Mount To A Din Rail

    Installation and Wiring Chapter 2 6. Attach the modules to the panel by using the mounting screws. If mounting more modules, mount only the last one of this group and put the others aside. This reduces remounting time during drilling and tapping of the next group. 7.

    Chapter 2 Installation and Wiring Effect of Transducer/Sensor and Cable Length Impedance on Voltage Output Accuracy For voltage outputs, the length of the cable used between the load and the module can affect the accuracy of the data provided by the module.

  • Page 23: Label The Terminals

    Installation and Wiring Chapter 2 As output impedance (Rs) and/or resistance (DC) of the cable (Rc) get larger, system accuracy decreases. If you determine that the inaccuracy error is significant, implementing the following equation in the control program can compensate for the added inaccuracy error due to the impedance of the module’s voltage outputs and cable.

  • Page 30: Input Image

    Chapter 3 Module Data, Status, and Channel Configuration Input Image The input image file represents data words and status bits. Word 0 holds the general status bits for each output channel as well as the over-range and under-range output-clamp status bits. To receive valid status information, the output channel must be enabled.

  • Page 31: Input Data File

    Module Data, Status, and Channel Configuration Chapter 3 Input Data File The input data file lets you access analog module read data for use in the control program, via word and bit access. The data table structure is shown in the table below. For each output module, slot x, word 0 contains the output-channel status bits.

    Chapter 3 Module Data, Status, and Channel Configuration Under-range (low clamp) Status Bits (U0…U3) Under-range (low clamp) bits for output channels 0…3 are contained in Word 0, bits 9, 11, 13, and 15. When set (1), these bits indicate an output value sent to the module is less than or equal to the user-configured low clamp value for the output channel.

  • Page 33: Configuration Data File

    Module Data, Status, and Channel Configuration Chapter 3 Configuration Data File The configuration file lets you determine how each individual output channel will operate. Parameters such as the output type and data format are set up by using this file. This data file is writable and readable.

  • Page 34: Channel Configuration

    Chapter 3 Module Data, Status, and Channel Configuration Channel Configuration Each channel is independently configured via a group of eight consecutive words in the Configuration Data file. The first two words of the group consist of bit fields, the settings of which determine how the output channel operates.

  • Page 35: Enable/Disable Channel (Ec)

    Module Data, Status, and Channel Configuration Chapter 3 Enable/Disable Channel (EC) This configuration lets each channel be enabled individually. When a channel is not enabled (EC = 0), the output channel is set to 0V or 0 mA. Program Mode (PM) This configuration selection provides individual Program mode selection for the output channels.

  • Page 36: Fault Mode (Fm)

    Chapter 3 Module Data, Status, and Channel Configuration Fault Mode (FM) This configuration selection provides individual Fault mode selection for the output channels. When this selection is disabled (FM = 0), the module holds the last state, meaning that the output remains at the last converted value prior to the condition that caused the control system to enter the Fault mode.

  • Page 37: Clamping (Limiting)

    Module Data, Status, and Channel Configuration Chapter 3 Clamping (limiting) Clamping limits the outputs from the module to within a user-configured range when the controller commands an output to a value outside of that range. The module supports a high clamp value and a low clamp value for each output channel.

  • Page 38: Output Ramping
