•
Advanced Programming Software (APS) supports Class 3
configuration. After entering the ID code (NI16I - 10403,
NI16V - 10406), enter 32 input words and 32 output words.
•
SLC 500 A.I. Series™ Programming Software supports Class 3
configuration. After entering the ID code (NI16I - 10403,
NI16V - 10406), enter 32 input words and 32 output words.
•
RSLogix 500™, version 1.30 or later, supports Class 3
configuration. After entering the ID code (NI16I - 10403,
NI16V - 10406), select Class 3 operation.
•
Earlier versions of RSLogix 500 only support configuration for
Class 1 operation. Contact Rockwell Software for information on
upgrading your software.
Class 1 and Class 3
Interface The 1746-NI16 analog input module has multi-class interface
capabilities. Class 1 is the default configuration. The module can be
configured through the user program for Class 3, which enables
user-defined data scaling and monitoring of channel status words. Use
Class 3 operation whenever possible.
NOTE
Not all programming software supports configuration
for Class 3 operation.
