Module Configuration
Chapter 4
4-2
You can configure the module to operate with any of five voltage or three
current ranges. You can select individual channel ranges using the
designated words of the write block transfer instruction (Table 4.A). Use
BTW word 1 for range selection of channels 1 through 8, and BTW word 2
for channels 9 through 16. Two bits are allocated for each channel. For
example, for channel 1, set word 1 bits 00-01 as shown in Table 4.A.
Table 4.A
Input Range Selection Bits
Bit 01 Bit 00 Voltage or current input
0 0 1 to 5 V DC, 4 to 20 mA 1
0 1 0 to 5 V DC, 0 to 20 mA 1
1 0 Ć5 to +5 V DC, Ć20 to +20 mA 1,2
1 1 Ć10 to +10 V DC 2 , 0 to 10 V DC
1 Current input mode selected by configuration plug.
2 Configurable using biĆpolar scaling.
Table 4.B shows the incremented voltage or current assigned to each bit for
the seven different input ranges. For example, if the channel 1 input range
is 0 to +5V and the actual incoming signal is at mid-range (+2.5V) the
value in the module’s data word would be 0000 1000 0000 0000 (binary)
or 2048 (decimal). The input is 2048/4096, or 1/2 of full scale.
