Writing Configuration to and
Reading Status from your
Module with a Remote I/O
Adapter
In this chapter, we tell you about:
•
configuring your module’s features
•
entering your data
•
reading data from your module
•
the read block format
Because of the wide variety of possible configurations, you must
configure your module to conform to the specific application that
you have chosen. The module is configured using a group of data
table words that are transferred to the module using a block transfer
write instruction.
The software configurable features available for the thermocouple
module are:
•
input/output range selection, including full range and bipolar
•
selectable first notch filter
•
data reported in o F, o C, unipolar or bipolar count
Note: PLC-5 family programmable controllers that use 6200
software (version 5.2 or later) programming tools can take advantage
of the IOCONFIG utility to configure these modules. IOCONFIG
uses menu-based screens for configuration without having to set
individual bits in particular locations. Refer to your 6200 software
literature for details.
