    Chapter 3: Configuring the 1746sc-INO4I UNEXPECTED EQUIPMENT OPERATION WARNING Always understand the implications of disabling a module before using the slot disable feature. Failure to observe this precaution can cause unintended equipment operation When you disable an output module’s slot, the module holds its outputs in their last state.

Output and Input Words Example – If you want to reconfigure channel 2 on your module, and it is in slot 4 of the SLC chassis, you modify the configuration word at address O:4.5. Alternatively, if you want to obtain the status of channel 2, you check the status word at address I:4.6.

    Chapter 3: Configuring the 1746sc-INO4I Output Data Limits For added safety, the 1746sc-INO4i and 1746sc-INO4vi output modules let you define limits for the values in the output data words of all four channels. These data limits, in turn, limit the output signals that your module provides. When an output data word exceeds the data limit, the output value is truncated to the limit.

  • Page 35: Chapter 4 Testing Your Module

    • Troubleshooting. • Before testing your module, test your SLC 500 system using the procedures described in your Allen-Bradley system Installation & Operation Manual. Important — If your module appears to be functioning, but the terminals aren’t providing an output signal, the 24 VDC power source (backplane or external) may not be providing enough current (250 mA).

  • Page 36: Section 4.4 Interpreting The Led Indicators

    Discontinue testing until you can get the LED to illuminate. The most probable reasons for the LED not illuminating are: The SLC 500 system is not receiving power from its power supply. • The rest of the SLC 500 system is not receiving power.
