Analog Output Modules - Rice Lake IQ plus 800 Installation & Operation Manual

ANALOG OUTPUT (OPTIONAL)
The IQ plus 800 may have one analog output module installed. The IQ plus
810 will accept two analog output modules with the expansion board
assembly. Either output may be setup for 0 to 10V, or for 4 to 20-mA analog
output. With this arrangement on a dual-output 810, you may use one output
for 0 to 10V operation and the other output for 4 to 20-mA output, or you
may make both of them the same type of output. Each of these modules has
separate calibration parameters in the configuration menu under the first
level menu ALG OUT (Analog Out), but each is installed and calibrated in
the same manner.
Analog output module #1 is located on the back side of the main board
immediately behind the configuration switch.
Analog output module #2 is located on the back side of the expander board.
To connect an analog output, locate the J1 connector on the Analog Output
module. This is a 4-position pluggable connector located at one end of the
analog output board. The pinout below lists functions for the pins of this
connector. Pin#1 of this connector is located closest to the outer edge of the
PC board. Pin #1 is designated on the board by a square, rather than a
round, pin designation.

Before the analog output can be configured and calibrated, the IQ plus 800/
810 must be configured and calibrated to the scale. See Sections 3 and 4,
Configuration and Calibration, for more information on how to do the
configuration and calibration on the IQ plus 800/810 to the scale.
Analog output calibration
After the IQ plus 800/810 is configured and calibrated to the scale, you
may configure and calibrate the analog output. This is done by entering
CONFIGURATION (as you did for the Setup) and moving horizontally
to the selection labeled "ALG OUT".
The analog output layout is shown in the following figure. Move down
one step and you will get a display of "ALGOUT1" for analog output 1
or "ALGOUT2" for analog output 2. Move horizontally to the output
which you wish to calibrate at this time and down one level to get to the
configuration and calibration level for that analog output.
