Configuring Your Module
In this chapter, we describe;
•
configuring your module’s features
•
conditioning your inputs
•
entering your data.
Because of the many analog devices available and the wide variety
of possible configurations, you must configure your module to
conform to the analog device and specific application that you have
chosen. Data is conditioned through a group of data table words that
are transferred to the module using a block transfer write instruction.
Before continuing, make sure you read “Setting the Configuration
Plugs on the Module” in chapter 2.
The software configurable features available with the Analog Input
Module (cat. no. 1771-IFF/A) are:
•
input range selection
•
input type
•
data format
•
digital filtering
•
real time sampling
•
scaling to engineering units
•
calibration
•
oversampling
•
unused channels disable
Note that digital filtering and scaling values must be entered in
BCD format only. Change your display format to BCD in the
PLC-5 and PLC-3 to accomplish this.
Note: Programmable controllers that use 6200 software
programming tools can take advantage of the IOCONFIG utility to
configure this module. IOCONFIG uses menu-based screens for
configuration without having to set individual bits in particular
locations. Refer to your 6200 software literature for details.
Note: Programmable controllers that use process configuration and
operation software (cat. no. 6190–PCO) can take advantage of those
development and runtime tools used for the application of
programmable controllers in process control. The PCO worksheets
and the menu-driven configuration screens and faceplates let you
configure, test/debug and operate the I/O module. Refer to your
6190-PCO software literature for details.
