Calibrate the Module

Chapter 6

Calibrate Input Channels

Input calibration requires that you apply reference signals to the module’s input
channels and then verify the channel status. ControlLogix high-speed analog I/O
modules can operate in Current or Voltage mode. For voltage applications, you
need to calibrate only the -10…10V range. Calibrating to this range calibrates the
module for all other voltage ranges, such as 0…5V.

Regardless of mode, when calibrating the module’s inputs, you must do the
following:

Apply a low signal to a channel (or group of channels)

Verify the channel’s low signal reference

Apply a high signal to a channel

Verify the channel’s high signal reference

The following example shows calibration of a single input channel. We suggest
you calibrate all channels each time you calibrate the module.

To calibrate the high-speed analog module’s inputs, follow these steps.

1.

Connect your voltage calibrator to the module.

2.

Access the module’s properties page.

Choose Properties.

Right-click I/O Configuration

to see the menu.
