Writing Configuration to and Reading Status
from Your Module with a Remote I/O Adapter
Chapter Objectives In this chapter, we tell you about:
•
configuring your module’s features
•
entering your data
•
reading data from your module
•
read block format
Configuring Your Analog
Module 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.
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 are:
•
input/output range selection
•
data type (two’s complement, two’s complement percent, binary
and offset binary)
PLC-5 family programmable controllers that use 6200 software
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.
TIP
RSLogix family programmable controllers that use
RSLogix software programming tools can take
advantage of the configuration GUI to configure
these modules.
