Chapter 1
Module Overview

The 1762sc-IF4OF4 Combo module contains 4 analog output channels and 4 analog
input channels. The 4 analog output channels (Ch 0 through 3) can be configured for
either voltage or current. The first two input channels (Ch 4 & 5) can be configured for
current only. The second pair of input channels (Ch 6 & 7) can be configured for current,
voltage or thermocouple. This chapter includes information about:

 General description
 Input / Output types and ranges
 Data Formats and filter frequencies
 Hardware Features
 System overview and module operation

Section 1.1
General
Description

The combo supports current, voltage and thermocouple input types and current or voltage
output types. The module digitally converts and stores analog data from any of the three
input types mentioned above. The module also converts the digital value stored in each
output channel’s command word, to an analog current or voltage signal. Each input or
output channel is individually configured via software for a specific input / output type,
data format, and provides open-circuit, over-range, under-range detection and indication.

Section 1.2
Output Types
and Ranges

The table below lists the output types and their associated ranges.
