Overview System Overview Chapter 1 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. However, the modules may not be located more than eight modules away from the system power supply.
Chapter 1 Overview The channel status words are described in the Input Data File on page 31. 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. No field calibration is required.

Chapter 2 Installation and Wiring Hazardous Location Considerations This equipment is suitable for use in Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C, D or nonhazardous locations only. The following attention statement applies to use in hazardous locations. ATTENTION EXPLOSION HAZARD • 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 nonhazardous.
Installation and Wiring Chapter 2 Removing Power ATTENTION Remove power before removing or inserting this module. When you remove or insert a module with power applied, an electrical arc may occur. An electrical arc can cause personal injury or property damage by: • sending an erroneous signal to your system’s field devices, causing unintended machine motion. • causing an explosion in a hazardous environment.
Chapter 2 Installation and Wiring Assemble the Compact I/O System The module can be attached to the controller or an adjacent I/O module before or after mounting. For mounting instructions, see Panel Mounting By Using the Dimensional Template on page 18, or Mount to a DIN Rail on page 19. To work with a system that is already mounted, see Replace a Single Module Within a System on page 19. 3 4 2 1 6 1 5 1. Disconnect power. 2.
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. ATTENTION When attaching I/O modules, it is very important that the bus connectors are securely locked together to be sure of proper electrical connection. 7. Attach an end cap terminator (5) to the last module in the system by using the tongue-and-groove slots as before. 8. Lock the end cap bus terminator (6).
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). Host Controller 122.6 mm (4.826 in.) Overall hole spacing tolerance: ±0.4 mm (0.016 in.). 132 mm (5.197 in.
Installation and Wiring Chapter 2 6. Attach the modules to the panel by using the mounting screws. TIP 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. Repeat steps 1…6 for any remaining modules. Mount to a DIN Rail The module can be mounted by using the following DIN rails: • 35 x 7.5 mm (EN 50 022 - 35 x 7.
Chapter 2 Installation and Wiring 4. On the right-side adjacent module, move its bus lever to the right (unlock) to disconnect it from the module to be removed. 5. Gently slide the disconnected module forward. If you feel excessive resistance, check that the module has been disconnected from the bus, and that both mounting screws have been removed or DIN latches opened.
Installation and Wiring System Wiring Guidelines Chapter 2 Consider the following when wiring your system: • All module commons (ANLG Com) are connected in the analog module. • The analog common (ANLG Com) is not connected to earth ground inside the module. • Channels are not isolated from each other. • For optimum accuracy, limit overall cable impedance by keeping your cable as short as possible. Locate the I/O system as close to your sensors or actuators as your application will permit.
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.
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.
Chapter 2 Installation and Wiring Wire the Finger-safe Terminal Block Upper Retaining Screw Lower Retaining Screw When wiring the terminal block, keep the finger-safe cover in place. 1. Loosen the terminal screws to be wired. 2. Begin wiring at the bottom of the terminal block and move up. 3. Route the wire under the terminal pressure plate. You can use the bare wire or a spade lug. The terminals accept a 6.35 mm (0.25 in.) spade lug. TIP The terminal screws are non-captive.
Installation and Wiring Chapter 2 Wire Size and Terminal Screw Torque Each terminal accepts up to two wires. Wire Type Wire Size Terminal Screw Torque Retaining Screw Torque Solid Cu-90 °C (194 °F) 0.325…2.080 mm2 (22…14 AWG) 0.68 N•m (6 lb•in) 0.46 N•m (4.1 lb•in) Stranded Cu-90 °C (194 °F) 0.325…1.310 mm2 (22…16 AWG) 0.68 N•m (6 lb•in) 0.46 N•m (4.1 lb•in) Wire the Modules ATTENTION To prevent shock hazard, care should be taken when wiring the module to analog signal loads.
Chapter 2 Installation and Wiring 3. Strip about 5 mm (3/16 in.) of insulation away to expose the end of the wire. ATTENTION Be careful when stripping wires. Wire fragments that fall into a module could cause damage when you cycle power. 4. At one end of the cable, twist the drain wire and foil shield together. Under normal conditions, this drain wire and shield junction must be connected to earth ground, via a panel or DIN rail mounting screw at the analog I/O module end.

Chapter 3 Module Data, Status, and Channel Configuration Introduction Topic Module Addressing Page Module Addressing 29 Input Data File 31 Output Data File 32 Configuration Data File 33 Channel Configuration 34 This memory map shows the output, input, and configuration tables for the module.
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. Words 1…4 contain the data echo values for the most recent data sent to the output channels.
Module Data, Status, and Channel Configuration Input Data File Chapter 3 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. Words 1…4 in the intput data file contain the output channel data echo values. The most significant bit (MSB) is the sign bit, which is in two’s complement format.
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. The module clamps the analog output signal at the low clamp value.
Module Data, Status, and Channel Configuration Configuration Data File Chapter 3 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. The default value of the configuration data table is all zeros.
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. See the tables below and the descriptions that follow for valid configuration settings and their meanings. The default bit status of the configuration file is all zeros.
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. When this selection is disabled (PM = 0), the module holds the last state.
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. IMPORTANT Hold last state is the default condition for the module during a control system Run-to-Fault mode change.
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.
Chapter 3 Module Data, Status, and Channel Configuration Output Ramping Ramping limits the speed at which an output signal can change. This prevents vast transitions in the output from damaging the output controls. Ramp to Fault mode is the only type of ramping supported by the module. This type of ramping occurs when the present output value changes to the fault value after a change in the controller's status to Fault mode has occurred.
Module Data, Status, and Channel Configuration Chapter 3 This table describes how the ramp rate is determined for all output types/ranges and output data formats. Ramp Rates for Output Type/Range and Data Formats Output Data Format Proportional Counts Engineering Units Scaled for PID Percent of Full Scale Output Type/Range Total Counts in Full Scale Number of Counts for Every 1% of Ramp Rate Real Units/Second for Every 1% of Ramp Rate -10…10V DC 0.21V/s 0…5V DC 0.
Chapter 3 Module Data, Status, and Channel Configuration The ramp rate values are entered in the Configuration Data file and are accepted as valid only if: • the number of counts entered for a channel’s ramp rate is between a minimum of 1% and a maximum of 100% of the total number of full scale counts for the channel’s selected data format. • the number of counts entered for a channel’s ramp rate is equal to zero and ramping is not enabled for that channel.
Module Data, Status, and Channel Configuration Chapter 3 Engineering Units The value sent by the controller to the output channel is the actual current or voltage value for the selected output range. The resolution of the engineering units is 0.001V or 0.001 mA per count. Scaled-for-PID The value sent by the controller to the output channel is a signed integer with 0 representing the lower limit of the normal operating range and 16,383 representing the upper limit of the normal operating range.

This configuration information is downloaded to each module at program download, at going to run, and at power cycle.
Appendix D Two’s Complement Binary Numbers The controller memory stores 16-bit binary numbers. Two’s complement binary is used when performing mathematical calculations internal to the controller. Analog input values from the analog modules are returned to the controller in 16-bit two’s complement binary format. For positive numbers, the binary notation and two’s complement binary notation are identical.
Appendix D Two’s Complement Binary Numbers Negative Decimal Values In two’s complement notation, the leftmost position is always 1 for negative values. The equivalent decimal value of the binary number is obtained by subtracting the value of the leftmost position, 32,768, from the sum of the values of the other positions. All positions are 1 and the value is 32,767 - 32,768 = -1.
