Configuring Your Module
In this chapter you will read how to configure your module’s
hardware, condition your inputs and enter your data.
You must configure your module to conform to the input 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 (BTW) instruction.
You can configure the following features for the 1771-VHSC
module:
•
type of input
•
data format
•
preset values
•
rollover values
Configure your module for its intended operation by means of your
programming terminal and write block transfers.
Note: Programmable controllers that use 6200 software (release 4.2
or higher) programming tools can take advantage of the IOCONFIG
Addendum utility to configure this module. IOCONFIG Addendum
uses menu–based screens for configuration without having to set
individual bits in particular locations. Refer to your 6200 software
literature for details.
Important: It is strongly recommended that you use IOCONFIG
Addendum to configure this module. The IOCONFIG
Addendum utility greatly simplifies configuration. If
the IOCONFIG Addendum is not available, you must
enter data directly into the data table. Use this chapter
as a reference when performing this task.
During normal operation, the processor transfers from 1 to 64 words
to the module when you program a BTW instruction to the module’s
address.
