Configuring Your Module
In this chapter you will read how to configure your module’s features,
condition your inputs and enter your data.
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. Data is
conditioned through a group of data table words that are transferred to the
module using a block transfer write instruction. Before continuing, make
sure you read “Setting Module Selection Plugs” in chapter 2.
The software configurable features available with the Analog Input
Module (cat. no. 1771-IFE) are:
input range selection
input
type
data format
digital filtering
real time sampling
scaling to engineering units
Note that digital filtering and scaling values must be entered in BCD
format only. Change your display format to BCD in the PLC-5 and
PLC-3 to accomplish this.
Note: Programmable controllers that use 6200 software programming tools
can take advantage of the IOCONFIG utility to configure this module.
IOCONFIG uses menu-based screens for configuration without having to
set individual bits in particular locations. Refer to your 6200 software
literature for details.
Note: Programmable controllers that use process configuration and
operation software (cat. no. 6190–PCO) can take advantage of those
development and runtime tools used for the application of programmable
controllers in process control. The PCO worksheets and the menu-driven
configuration screens and faceplates let you configure, test/debug and
operate the I/O module. Refer to your 6190-PCO software literature for
details.
