Setting the Module Jumpers
The position of the J2 jumpers determines the input signal levels. You can choose between
0–5 VDC or 0–10 VDC. The module ships with the jumpers installed connecting the pins. In
this position, the input signal level is 0–5 VDC. To select 0–10 VDC signals, use the jumper
selection chart located on the module. One or more channels can be selected for 0–10 VDC
input signal level by removing the jumper from the connecting pin of the appropriate channel.
This allows you to have some channels selected for 0–5 VDC signals and other channels
selected for 0–10 VDC signals.
J2 jumpers shown below are
configured as CH1 and CH4 set
for 0–10V, and CH2 and CH3
set for 0–5V.

Connecting and Disconnecting the Field Wiring
Wiring Guidelines
Your company may have guidelines for wiring and cable installation. If so, you should check
those before you begin the installation. Here are some general things to consider:
• Use the shortest wiring route whenever possible.
• Use shielded wiring and ground the shield at the transmitter source. Do not ground the shield at
both the module and the source.
• Do not run the signal wiring next to large motors, high current switches, or transformers. This may
cause noise problems.
• Route the wiring through an approved cable housing to minimize the risk of accidental damage.
Check local and national codes to choose the correct method for your application.
A separate transmitter power supply may be required, depending on the type of transmitter
being used.
This module has a removable connector to make wiring and module removal easier. To remove
the terminal block, disconnect power to the PLC and the field devices. Pull the terminal block
firmly until the connector separates from the module.
The analog module can be removed from the PLC by folding out the retaining tabs at the top
and bottom of the module. As the retaining tabs pivot upward and outward, the module’s
connector is lifted out of the PLC socket. Once the connector is free, you can lift the module
out of its slot.
Wiring Diagram
Use the following diagram to connect the field wiring. If necessary, the terminal block can be
removed to make removal of the module possible without disturbing field wiring.

Analog Module Updates
Even though the channel updates to the CPU are synchronous with the CPU scan, the module
asynchronously monitors the analog transmitter signals and converts each signal into a 12-bit
binary representation. This enables the module to continuously provide accurate measurements
without slowing down the discrete control logic in the RLL program.
The module takes approximately 10 milliseconds to sense 95% of the change in the analog
signal. For the vast majority of applications, the process changes are much slower than these
updates.
NOTE: If you are comparing other manufacturers’ update times (step responses) with ours, please be aware
that some manufacturers refer to the time it takes to convert the analog signal to a digital value. Our analog
to digital conversion takes only a few microseconds. It is the settling time of the filter that is critical in
determining the full update time. Our update time specification includes the filter settling time.

Special V-memory Locations
Formatting the Module Data
The DL05 and DL06 PLCs have special V-memory locations assigned to their respective
option slots. These V-memory locations allow you to:
• Specify the data format (binary or BCD)
• Specify the number of channels to scan (4 channels for the F0-04AD-2)
• Specify the V-memory locations to store the input data
DL05 Data Formatting
The table below shows the special V-memory locations which are used by the DL05 PLC for
the F0–04AD–2.

Structure of V7701
V7701 is a system V-memory location used as a pointer to a user V-memory location where
the analog input data is stored. The V-memory location loaded into V7701 is an octal number
identifying the first user V-memory location for reading the analog input data. This V-memory
location is user selectable. For example, loading O2000 causes the pointer to write Ch 1’s data
value to V2000, Ch 2’s data value to V2001, Ch 3’s data value to V2002, and Ch 4’s data value
to V2003.
You will find an example program that loads appropriate values to V7700 and V7701

Setup Data Type and Number of Channels
V-memory locations 700, 710, 720 and 730 are used to set the data format to be read in either
binary or BCD, and to set the number of channels that will be active.
For example, the F0–04AD–2 is installed in slot 1.
Loading a constant of 400 into V700 sets 4 channels
active, and the input data value is read as a BCD
number.
With the F0–4AD–2 in slot 1, loading a constant of
8400 into V700 sets 4 channels active, and the input
data value is read as a binary number.
Storage Pointer Setup
V-memory locations 701, 711, 721 and 731 are special locations used as storage pointers for
the analog input data. With the analog module installed in slot 4, the V-memory location
loaded in V731, for instance, is an octal number identifying the first user V-memory location
to read the analog input data. This V-memory location is user selectable. For example, loading
O2000 using the LDA instruction causes the pointer to write Ch 1’s data value to V2000, Ch
2’s data value to V2001, CH 3’s data value to V2002 and Ch 4’s data value to V2003.
You will find an example program that loads appropriate values to V700 and V701

DL05 Pointer Method
The DL05 CPU examines the pointer values (the memory locations identified in V7700 and
V7701) on the first scan only.
The example program below shows how to setup these locations. This rung can be placed
anywhere in the ladder program or in the initial stage if you are using stage programming
instructions.
This is all that is required to read the analog input data into V-memory locations. Once the
data is in V-memory you can perform math on the data, compare the data against preset values,
and so forth. V2000 is used in the example but you can use any user V-memory location.

The F0–04AD–2 can be installed in any available DL06 option slot. Using the example
program from the previous page, but changing the V-memory addresses, the ladder diagram
below shows how to setup these locations with the module installed in slot 1 of the DL06. Use
the above table to determine the pointer values if locating the module in any of the other slot
locations. Place this rung anywhere in the ladder program or in the initial stage if you are using

Like the DL05 example, this logic is all that is required to read the analog input data into

Scale Conversions
Scaling the Input Data
Many applications call for measurements in
engineering units, which can be more meaningful
than raw data. Convert to engineering units using
the formula shown to the right.
You may have to make adjustments to the
formula depending on the scale you choose for the
engineering units.
For example, if you wanted to measure pressure (PSI) from 0.0 to 100.0 then you would have
to multiply the analog value by 10 in order to imply a decimal place when you view the value
with the programming software or a handheld programmer. Notice how the calculations differ
when you use the multiplier.
Analog Value of 2024, slightly less than half scale, should yield 49.4 PSI

Resolution Details
Since the module has 12-bit resolution, the analog voltage signal is converted into 4096 counts
ranging from 0–4095 (212). For example, with a 0 to 10V range, a 0V signal would be a count
value of 0, and a 10V signal would produce a count value of 4095. This is equivalent to a binary
value of 0000 0000 0000 to 1111 1111 1111, or 000 to FFF hexadecimal.
Each count can also be expressed in terms of the signal level by using the following equation:

Analog Input Ladder Logic Filter
PID Loops / Filtering:
Please refer to the “PID Loop Operation” chapter in the DL06 or DL05 User Manual for
information on the built-in PV filter (DL05/06) and the ladder logic filter (DL06 only) shown
below. A filter must be used to smooth the analog input value when auto tuning PID loops to
prevent giving a false indication of loop characteristics.
Smoothing the Input Signal (DL06 only):
The filter logic can also be used in the same way to smooth the analog input signal to help
stabilize PID loop operation or to stabilize the analog input signal value for use with an operator
interface display, etc.
WARNING: The built-in and logic filters are not intended to smooth or filter noise generated by improper
field device wiring or grounding. Small amounts of electrical noise can cause the input signal to bounce
considerably. Proper field device wiring and grounding must be done before attempting to use the filters
to smooth the analog input signal.
