Calibrating Your Module
What This Chapter Contains Use this chapter to calibrate the FLEX Ex analog I/O modules.
In practice, you must use the I/O configuration portion of your programming
software to calibrate your modules. The software executes the methodology
explained here.
When and How to
Calibrate Your FLEX Ex
Analog I/O Module Your module is shipped to you already calibrated. If a calibration check is
required, the module must be in a FLEX Ex I/O system.
Perform module calibration periodically, based on your application. Module
calibration may also be required to remove module error due to aging of
components in your system.

IMPORTANT
This chapter provides a detailed method to perform
module calibration with individual commands. This
discussion is only given here to explain the general process.
ATTENTION
Your FLEX Ex analog I/O modules are intrinsically safe
equipment. This module cannot be used in instrinsically
safe environment after having been exposed to
non-intrinsically safe signals.
