Setting the Module Jumper

The position of the J2 jumper determines the input and output signal level. You can choose
between 0–20 mA and 4–20 mA signal levels. The module ships without the jumper connecting
the pins (pins not jumpered). In this position, the input and output signal level is 4–20 mA. To
select 0–20 mA signal level, install the jumper, connecting the pins.

11–4

The J2 jumper is shown in the 4–20 mA
position (not installed). Install the jumper
for the 0–20 mA position.

WARNING: Before removing the analog module or the terminal block on the face of the module,
disconnect power to the PLC and all field devices. Failure to disconnect power can result in damage to
the PLC and/or field devices.

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.

Current Loop Transmitter Impedance

Manufacturers of transmitters and transducers specify a wide variety of power sources for their
products. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations.

In some cases, manufacturers specify a minimum loop or load resistance that must be used with
the transmitter. The F0-04AD2DA-1 provides 125 ohm resistance for each channel. If your
transmitter requires a load resistance below 125 ohms, you do not have to make any changes.
However, if your transmitter requires a load resistance higher than 125 ohms, you need to add
a resistor in series with the module.

Consider the following example for a transmitter being operated from a 30VDC supply with a
recommended load resistance of 750 ohms. Since the module has a 125 ohm resistor, you need
to add an additional resistor.

R = Tr–Mr R = resistor to add

R = 750–125 Tr = Transmitter Requirement

R M 625 Mr = Module resistance (internal 125 ohms)

Input/Output Channel Update Sequence

The DL05 and DL06 will read four channels of input data and two channels of output data
during each scan. Each CPU supports special V-memory locations that are used to manage the
data transfer. This is discussed in more detail beginning on the next page, “Special V-memory
Locations”.

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 25 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.

Formatting the Module Data

The DL05 and DL06 PLCs have three 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 input and output channels to scan.

• Specify the V-memory locations to store the input data

• Specify the V-memory locations to store the output data

DL05 Data Formatting

The table below shows the special V-memory locations used by the DL05 PLC for the analog
combination module.

Structure of V7700

V-memory location 7700 is used for identifying the number of output channels, the number of
input channels and the data type (binary or BCD). The low byte equals the number of output
channels and the high byte equals the number of input channels. Enter a 1 through 4 to select
the number of input channels and a 1 through 2 to
select the number of output channels to be used. A
zero (0) entered for channel selection will cause the
channel, either input or output, to be inoperative.

Loading a constant of 402 into V7700 identifies
four input and two output analog channels, and
sets the I/O data type to BCD.

Loading a constant of 8482 into V7700 identifies four input and two output analog channels,
and sets the I/O data type to binary.

Structure of V7701

V7701 is a system parameter that points to a V-memory location used for storing analog
input data. The V-memory location loaded in V7701 is an octal number identifying the first
V-memory location for 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.

Input Storage Pointer Setup

V-memory locations 701, 711, 721 and 731 are special locations used as a storage pointer for
the analog input data. With the analog module installed in slot 2, the V-memory location
loaded in V711 is an octal number identifying the first user V-memory location to write the
analog input data to. 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.

Output Storage Pointer Setup

V-memory locations 702, 712, 722 and 732 are special locations used as a storage pointer for
the analog output data. With the analog module installed in slot 2, the V-memory location
loaded in V712 is an octal number identifying the first user V-memory location to read the
analog output data from. This V-memory location is user selectable. For example, loading
O2010 causes the pointer to read Ch 1’s data value at V2010 and Ch 2’s data value at V2011.

You will find an example program that loads appropriate values to V710, V711 and V712 on

The DL05 CPU examines the pointer values (the memory locations identified in V7700,
V7701 and V7702) on the first scan only.

The example program below shows how to setup these locations for 4 input channels and 2
output channels. 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 and output 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 and V2010 are used in the example, the V-memory locations

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

SP1

The Conversion Program

The following example shows how you would write the program to perform the engineering
unit conversion from input data formats 0–4095. This example assumes the raw input data
read at V2000 is in BCD format.

Note: this example uses SP1, which is always on. You could also use an X, C, etc., permissive
contact.

SP1

LD

MUL

OUT
V2100

When SP1 is on, load channel 1 data to the accumulator (for
a range of 0–1000).

Multiply the accumulator by 1000.

Divide the accumulator by 4095 (the module resolution).

Store the result in V2100.

Output Conversion Program

The following example program shows how you would write the program to perform the
engineering unit conversion to output data formats 0–4095. This example assumes you have
calculated or loaded the engineering unit values between 0–1000 in BCD format and stored
them in V2300 and V2301 for channels 1 and 2 respectively. Both the DL05 and DL06 offer
instructions that allow you to perform math operations using BCD format. It is usually easier
to perform any math calculations in BCD and then convert the value to binary before you send
the data to the module.

LD
V2300

MUL
K4095

DIV

The LD instruction loads the engineering units used with channel 1 into
the accumulator. This example assumes the numbers are BCD. Since
SP1 is used, this rung automatically executes on every scan. You could
also use an X, C, etc. permissive contact.

Multiply the accumulator by 4095.

Divide the accumulator by 1000 (this is the maximum value of
V2300).

11–14

Store the BCD result in V2010; the V–memory location set up to
send the data to Ch 1 output.

The LD instruction loads the engineering units used with Ch 2 into the
accumulator. This example assumes the numbers are BCD. Since SP1 is
used, this rung automatically executes on every scan. You could also use
an X, C, etc. permissive contact.

Multiply the accumulator by 4095.

Analog and Digital Value Conversions

Sometimes it is useful to convert between the signal levels and the digital values. This is
especially helpful during machine startup or troubleshooting. The following tables provide
formulas to make this conversion easier.

Range If you know the digital value If you know the analog signal level

4 to 20mA

A =
4095

For example, if you have measured the signal as
10mA, you can use the formula to determine
the digital value (D) that will be stored in the
V-memory location that contains the data.

Resolution Details

Since the module has 12-bit resolution, the analog signal is converted from 4096 counts
ranging from 0–4095 (212). For example, a 4mA signal would be 0 and 20mA signal would be

4095. This is equivalent to a binary value of 0000 0000 0000 to 1111 1111 1111, or 000 to
FFF hexadecimal. The diagrams below show how this relates to the two signal ranges.

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.
