Use the 1794-IF8IH Module with the Generic
Profile
Overview
This appendix provides the information needed to configure the 1794-IF8IH
analog output 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. In the FLEX
I/O generic profile, you need these sizes:
• Input – 8
• Output – Grayed out
• Config – 42
• Status – 5
• Cyclic HART input data is not available in the generic profile
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 …20 mA range.
The default configuration when using the generic profile is 0, which
configures the module for a 0…20 mA range.
