Configuration Data File
The manipulation of the bits from this file is normally done with programming 
software (e.g. RSLogix 500, RSNetworx for DeviceNet, etc.) during initial 
configuration of the system. In that case, graphical screens are typically provided by 
the programmer to simplify configuration. However, some systems, like the 
1769-ADN DeviceNet Adapter, also allow the bits to be altered as part of the control 
program, using communication rungs. In that case, it is necessary to understand the 
bit arrangement. Refer to the Compact™ Combination Analog I/O Module User 
Manual, publication number 1769-UM008A-EN-P for additional details.
The bits are defined as follows:
•
SGN = Sign bit in two’s complement format. The sign of the data for the 
1769-IF4XOF2 must be positive (Bit 15 = 0) or a configuration error occurs.
•
EIx = Individually enable or disable input channels 0 through 3 using these 
bits. When a channel is not enabled, the module provides no current or 
voltage input to the host controller.
•
EOx = Individually enable or disable output channels 0 and 1 using these 
bits. When a channel is not enabled, the module does not produce current 
or voltage.
•
PMx = These bits provide Program (Idle) Mode selection for analog output 
channels 0 and 1.

TIP
The enable bit remains set even when a channel is 
configured incorrectly. However, a configuration error 
for that channel is set. When this occurs, disable the 
channel, reconfigure the channel correctly, and then 
enable the channel.
