Configure the 1797-IE8H Module in RSLogix
5000 Software Over the ControlNet Network
What This Appendix
Contains
This appendix provides the information needed to configure the 1797-IE8H
analog input module in RSLogix 5000 software over the ControlNet network
using version 13 or earlier and the generic profile.
Background Information
Make sure that your Comm-Format is set to Input Data - INT so that you can
set the output size to 0. In the FLEX generic profile, you need these sizes:
• Input - 8
• Output - 0
• Config - 2
• Status - 5
Adapter Name is what you named the ControlNet adapter when it was
originally created.
Slot is the position of the FLEX module in the rack, starting with zero.
IMPORTANT
HART commands will only work when the Data Format
control is configured for a 4 to 20 mA range. The default
configuration when using the generic profile is 0, which
configures the module for a 0 to 20 mA range. The filter
cutoff defaults to 0 as well, which is invalid. The filter
cutoff must be set to a valid value for the module to
operate in any mode.
