DL305 Analog Components
Getting Started
Getting Started
There are a wide variety of Analog I/O modules available for use with the DL305
family of automation products. These modules are well suited for monitoring and
controlling various types of analog signals such as pressure, temperature, etc.
There are modules specifically designed for thermocouple and temperature input
requirements. No complex programming or module setup software is required.
Simply install the module, add a few lines to your RLL program, and you’re ready!

The following is a list of the types of analog input and analog output modules that are
available.
There is also an 8 channel thermocouple input module that converts type E, J, K, R,
S, or T thermocouple signals into direct temperature readings. This module can also
convert other types of low-level (millivolt range) signals into digital values. The part
number for this module is F3–08THM–n, where n is the type of thermocouple. If you
want a millivolt input version, simply replace n with a 1 (0–50 mV) or a 2 (0 – 100mV).
All versions offer 12-bit resolution.
The Temperature Input module provides 8 channels for direct temperature
measurement in either Celsius or Fahrenheit from –55_ to 150_ C. Order part
number F3–08TEMP. This module offers 12-bit resolution.

Physical Characteristics
The DL305 Analog Modules provide many features that make the modules easier to
use. For example, the terminal block can be removed making wiring a simple task.
You can also use our DINnector product line to organize your wiring even further
(see our catalog for details).
Some of the modules provide LEDs used to determine the signal level. Since there
are not enough LEDs to show all of the channels at once, there is a small switch
underneath the terminal cover that allows you to select the channel for monitoring.
Not all of the modules have this feature.
Most of the modules also have jumpers that can be set to select between the various
types of signals. Each chapter will show how to set these jumpers for the selections
you need.

The D3–04AD Analog Input appears as a 16-point module. The module can be
installed in any slot configured for 16 points. See the DL305 User Manual for details
on using 16 point modules in DL305 systems. The limitation on the number of analog
modules are:
SFor local and expansion systems, the available power budget and
16-point module usage are the limiting factors.
Page 27
Setting the Module Jumpers
There are four jumpers located on the
module that select between 1–5V and
4–20 mA signals. The module is shipped
from the factory for use with 1–5V
signals.
If you want to use 4 – 20 mA signals, you
have to install a jumper. No jumper is
required for 1 – 5V operation. Each
channel range may be selected
independently of the others.

Wiring Guidelines
User Power Supply
Requirements
Y our 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.
SUse the shortest wiring route whenever possible.
SUse shielded wiring and ground the shield at the signal source. Do not
ground the shield at both the module and the source.
SDon’t run the signal wiring next to large motors, high current switches, or
transformers. This may cause noise problems.
SRoute 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.
The D3–04AD requires a separate power supply. The DL305 bases have built-in 24
VDC power supplies that provide up to 100 mA of current. If you only have one
analog module, you can use this power source instead of a separate supply. If you
have more than two analog modules, or you would rather use a separate supply,
choose one that meets the following requirements: 24 VDC "10%, Class 2, 65mA
current (or greater, depending on the number of modules being used.)

Occasionally you may have the need to connect a transmitter with an unusual signal
range. By changing the wiring slightly and adding an external resistor to convert the
current to voltage, you can easily adapt this module to meet the specifications for a
transmitter that does not adhere to one of the standard input ranges. The following
diagram shows how this works.

Current Loop
Transmitter
Impedance
Standard 4 to 2 0 m A transmitters and transducers can operate from a wide variety of
power supplies. Not all transmitters are alike and the manufacturers often specify a
minimum loop or load resistance that must be used with the transmitter.
The D3–04AD provides 250 ohm resistance for each channel. If your transmitter
requires a load resistance below 250 ohms, then you do not have to make any
adjustments. However , if your transmitter requires a load resistance higher than 250
ohms, then you need to add a resistor in series with the module.
Consider the following example for a transmitter being operated from a 36 VDC
supply with a recommended load resistance of 750 ohms. Since the module has a
250 ohm resistor, you need to add an additional resistor.

Module Operation
Before you begin writing the control program, it is important to take a few minutes to
understand how the module processes and represents the analog signals.
Channel Scanning
Sequence
The D3–04AD module supplies 1 channel of data per each CPU scan. Since there
are four channels, it can take up to four scans to get data for all channels. Once all
channels have been scanned, the process starts over with channel 1.
Y ou do not have to select all of the channels. Unused channels are not processed, so
if you select only two channels, then each channel will be updated every other scan.

Even though the channel updates to the CPU are synchronous with the CPU scan,
the module asynchronously monitors the analog transmitter signal and converts the
signal to a 8-bit binary representation. This enables the module to continuously
provide accurate measurements without slowing down the discrete control logic in
the RLL program.

Understanding the
I/O Assignments
D3–04AD
4-Channel Analog Input
You may recall the D3–04AD module appears to the CPU as a 16-point module.
Some of the points are inputs to the CPU and some are outputs to the module. These
16 points provide:
San indication of which channel is active.
Sthe digital representation of the analog signal.
Since all I/O points are automatically mapped into Register (R) memory, it is very
easy to determine the location of the data word that will be assigned to the module.

Within these two register locations, the individual bits represent specific information
about the analog signal.
The most significant point (MSP)
assigned to the module acts as an output
to the module and controls the channel

R011
scanning sequence. This allows
flexibility in your control program.
If this output is on, all channels will be
scanned sequentially. If the output is off,
you can use other points to select a
single channel for scanning.
The upper register also contains two
additional outputs that can be used to
choose a single channel for scanning.
These outputs are ignored if the channel
scan output is turned on.
(Note, our example shows outputs 114
and 1 15. Your output point will depend on
where you have installed the module.)

the module which channels to scan.) In

Since the module has 8-bit resolution, the analog signal is converted into 256
“pieces” ranging from 0 – 255 (2

). For example, with a 1 to 5V scale, a 1V signal
would be 0, and a 5V signal would be 255. This is equivalent to a a binary value of
0000 0000 to 1111 1111, or 00 to FF hexadecimal. The following diagram shows how
this relates to each signal range.

Each “piece” can also be expressed in
terms of the signal level by using the

equation shown. The following table
shows the smallest signal levels that
could possibly result in a change in the
data value for each signal range.

Now that you understand how the module and CPU work together to gather and
store the information, you’re ready to write the control program.

Identifying the
Data Locations
Since all channels are multiplexed into a single data word, the control program must
be setup to determine which channel is being read. Since the module provides input
points to the CPU, it is very easy to use the channel status bits to determine which
channel is being monitored.

Single Channel on
Every Scan
The following example shows a program that is designed to read a single channel of
analog data into a Register location on every scan. Once the data is in a Register,
you can perform math on the data, compare the data against preset values, etc. This
example is designed to read channel 1. If you choose another channel, you would
have to add a rung (or rungs) that use the channel select bits to select the channel for
scanning. You would also have to change the rung that stores the data.

The following instructions are required to scale the data. We’ll continue to use the
42.9 PSI example. In this example we’re using channel 1. Input 110 is the active
channel indicator for channel 1. Of course, if you were using a different channel, you
would use the active channel indicator point that corresponds to the channel you
were using.

This example program shows how you can use the instructions to load the equation
constants into data registers. The example is written for channel 1, but you can
easily use a similar approach to use different scales for all channels if required.
You may just use the appropriate constants in the instructions dedicated for each
channel, but this method allows easier modifications. For example, you could easily
use an operator interface or a programming device to change the constants if they
are stored in Registers.

Scaling the Input
Data
Most applications usually require
measurements in engineering units,
which provide more meaningful data.
This is accomplished by using the
conversion formula shown.
The following example shows how you
would use the analog data to represent
pressure (PSI) from 0 to 100. This
example assumes the analog value is
110, which is slightly less than half scale.
This should yield approximately 43 PSI.
Units = (A/255)*S
Units = value in Engineering Units
A = Analog value (0 – 255)
S = Engineering unit range
Units = (A/255)*S
4-Channel Analog Input
D3–04AD
Units = (110/255)*100

Here is how you would write the program to perform the engineering unit conversion.

Sometimes it i s helpful to be able to quickly convert between the signal levels and the
digital values. This is especially helpful during machine startup or troubleshooting.
The following table provides formulas to make this conversion easier.
RangeIf you know the digital value ...If you know the analog signal
level ...
1 to 5V
4 to 20mA
A = (4D/255) + 1
A = (16D/255) + 4
D = (255/4)(A–1)
D = (255/16)(A–4)
For example, if you are using the 1 to 5V
range and you have measured the signal
D = (255/4)(A–1)
at 3V, you would use the following
formula to determine the digital value
that should be stored in the register
location that contains the data.
D = (255/4)(3V–1)
D = (63.75) (2)
D = 127.5 (or 128)

on using 16 point modules in DL305 systems. The limitation on the number of analog
modules are:
SThe module should not be placed in the last slot of a rack (due to size
constraints.)
SFor local and expansion systems, the available power budget and
16-point module usage are the limiting factors.

Selecting the
Number of
Channels
UNIPOLARBIPOLAR
If you examine the rear of the module, you’ll
notice several jumpers. The jumpers labeled +1
and +2 (located on the larger board, near the
terminal block) are used to select the number of
channels that will be used.
Without any jumpers the module processes one
channel. By installing the jumpers you can add
channels. The module is set from the factory for
four channel operation.
For example, if you install the +1 jumper, you
add one channel for a total of two. Now if you
install the +2 jumper you add two more channels
for a total of four.
Any unused channels are not processed so if
you only select channels 1, 2, and 3, channel 4
will not be active. The table shows which
jumpers to install.

the range of the signal. The following tables show the jumper selections for the
various ranges. Only channel 1 is used in the example, but all channels must be set.

Wiring Guidelines
User Power Supply
Requirements
Custom Input
Ranges
Y our 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.
SUse the shortest wiring route whenever possible.
SUse shielded wiring and ground the shield at the signal source. Do not
ground the shield at both the module and the source.
SDo not run the signal wiring next to large motors, high current switches,
or transformers. This may cause noise problems.
SRoute 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.
The F3–04ADS receives all power from the base. A separate power supply is not
required.
Occasionally you may have the need to connect a transmitter with an unusual signal
range. By changing the wiring slightly and adding an external resistor to convert the
current to voltage, you can easily adapt this module to meet the specifications for a
transmitter which does not adhere to one of the standard input ranges. The following
diagram shows how this works.

Current Loop
Transmitter
Impedance
Standard 4 to 2 0 m A transmitters and transducers can operate from a wide variety of
power supplies. Not all transmitters are alike and the manufacturers often specify a
minimum loop or load resistance that must be used with the transmitter.
The F3–04ADS provides 250 ohm resistance for each channel. If your transmitter
requires a load resistance below 250 ohms, then you do not have to make any
adjustments. However , if your transmitter requires a load resistance higher than 250
ohms, then you need to add a resistor in series with the module.
Consider the following example for a transmitter being operated from a 36 VDC
supply with a recommended load resistance of 750 ohms. Since the module has a
250 ohm resistor, you need to add an additional resistor.

Module Operation
Channel Scanning
Sequence
Before you begin writing the control program, it is important to take a few minutes to
understand how the module processes and represents the analog signals.
The F3–04ADS module supplies1 channel of data per each CPU scan. Since there
are four channels, it can take up to four scans to get data for all channels. Once all
channels have been scanned the process starts over with channel 1.
Y ou do not have to select all of the channels. Unused channels are not processed, so
if you select only two channels, then each channel will be updated every other scan.

Even though the channel updates to the CPU are synchronous with the CPU scan,
the module asynchronously monitors the analog transmitter signal and converts the
signal to 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.

Understanding the
I/O Assignments
You may recall the F3–04ADS module appears to the CPU as a 16-point module.
These 16 points provide:
San indication of which channel is active.
Sthe digital representation of the analog signal.
Since all I/O points are automatically mapped into Register (R) memory, it is very
easy to determine the location of the data word that will be assigned to the module.

Since the module has 12-bit resolution, the analog signal is converted into 4096
12
“pieces” ranging from 0 – 4095 (2
). For example, with a 0 to 10V scale, a 0V signal
would be 0, and a 10V signal would be 4095. This is equivalent to a a binary value of
0000 0000 0000 to 1111 1111 1111, or 000 to FFF hexadecimal. The following
diagram shows how this relates to each signal range.

Identifying the
Data Locations
Since all channels are multiplexed into a single data word, the control program must
be setup to determine which channel is being read. Since the module provides input
points to the CPU, it is very easy to use the active channel status bits to determine
which channel is being monitored.

The following example shows a program that is designed to read a single channel of
analog data into a Register location on every scan. Once the data is in a Register,
you can perform math on the data, compare the data against preset values, etc. This
example is designed to read channel 1. Since you use jumpers to select the number
of channels to scan, this is the only channel that you can use in this manner.

The following example shows how you

This example program shows how you can use the instructions to load these
equation constants into data registers. The example is written for channel 1, but you
can easily use a similar approach to use different scales for all channels if required.
You may just use the appropriate constants in the instructions dedicated for each
channel, but this method allows easier modifications. For example, you could easily
use an operator interface or a programming device to change the constants if they
are stored in Registers.

Reading Values:
Pointer Method
and Multiplexing
Pointer Method
There are two methods of reading values for the DL350:
SThe pointer method (all system bases must be D3–xx–1 bases to
support the pointer method)
SMultiplexing
You must use the multiplexing method with remote I/O modules (the pointer method
will not work). You can use either method when using DL350, but for ease of
programming it is strongly recommended that you use the pointer method.
NOTE: Do not use the pointer method and the PID PV auto transfer from I/O module
function together for the same module. If using PID loops, use the pointer method
and ladder logic code to map the analog input data into the PID loop table.
The DL350 has special V-memory locations assigned to each base slot that greatly
simplifies the programming requirements. These V-memory locations allow you to:
Sspecify the data format

The example program shows how to setup these locations. Place this rung
anywhere in the ladder program or in the Initial Stage if you are using RLL

instructions. This is all that is required to read the 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. In this example the module is installed in slot 2. You
should use the V-memory locations for your module placement.

selects the data format (i.e. 0=BCD, 8=Binary), the LSN selects
the number of channels (i.e. 1, 2, 3, 4).
The binary format is used for displaying data on some operator
interfaces.
Special V-memory location assigned to slot 2 that contains the

This loads an octal value for the first V-memory location that will be

Ch1 - V2000, Ch2 - V2001, Ch3 - V2002, Ch 4 - V2003
The octal address (O2000) is stored here. V7672 is assigned to slot
2 and acts as a pointer, which means the CPU will use the octal

The table shows the special V-memory locations used with the DL350. Slot 0 (zero)
is the module next to the CPU, slot 1 is the module two places from the CPU, and so
on. Remember, the CPU only examines the pointer values at these locations after a
mode transition. The pointer method is supported on expansion bases up to a total of
8 slots away from the DL350 CPU. The pointer method is not supported in slot 8 of a
10 slot base.

Scaling the
Input Data
Most applications usually require
measurements in engineering units,
Units + A
H * L
4095
which provide more meaningful data.
This is accomplished by using the
conversion formula shown.
You may have to make adjustments to
the formula depending on the scale you
choose for the engineering units.
H = high limit of the engineering
unit range
L = low limit of the engineering
unit range
A = Analog value (0 – 4095)
For example, if you wanted to measure pressure (PSI) from 0.0 to 99.9 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.
Here is how you would write the program to perform the engineering unit conversion.
This example assumes you have BCD data loaded into the appropriate V-memory
locations using instructions that apply for the model of CPU you are using.
NOTE:This example uses SP1, which is always on. You could also use an X, C, etc. permissive contact.

installed in any slot configured for 16 points. See the DL305 User Manual for details
on using 16 point modules in DL305 systems. The limitation on the number of analog
modules are:
SFor local and expansion systems, the available power budget and
16-point module usage are the limiting factors.

Jumper Locations
Selecting the
Number of
Channels
The module is set at the factory for a 4–20 mA signal on all eight channels. If this is
acceptable you do not have to change any of the jumpers. The following diagram
shows how the jumpers are set.
Channels
+4
+2
+1
If you examine the rear of the module,
you’ll notice several jumpers. The
jumpers labeled +1, +2 and +4 are used
to select the number of channels that will
be used. Without any jumpers the
module processes one channel (channel
1). By installing the jumpers you can add
channels. The module is set from the
factory for eight channel operation.
For example, if you install the +1 jumper,
you add one channel for a total of two.
Now if you install the +2 jumper you add
two more channels for a total of four.
Any unused channels are not processed
so if you only select channels 1–4, then
the last four channels will not be active.
The following table shows which jumpers
to install.

Wiring Guidelines

Requirements

Impedance
Y our 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.
SUse the shortest wiring route whenever possible.
SUse shielded wiring and ground the shield at the signal source. Do not
ground the shield at both the module and the source.
SDon’t run the signal wiring next to large motors, high current switches, or
transformers. This may cause noise problems.
SRoute 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.
The F3–08AD receives all power from the base. A separate power supply is not
required.
Standard 4 to 2 0 m A transmitters and transducers can operate from a wide variety of
power supplies. Not all transmitters are alike and the manufacturers often specify a
minimum loop or load resistance that must be used with the transmitter.
The F3–08AD provides 250 ohm resistance for each channel. If your transmitter
requires a load resistance below 250 ohms, then you do not have to make any
adjustments. However , if your transmitter requires a load resistance higher than 250
ohms, then you need to add a resistor in series with the module.
Consider the following example for a transmitter being operated from a 36 VDC
supply with a recommended load resistance of 750 ohms. Since the module has a
250 ohm resistor, you need to add an additional resistor.

Module Operation
Channel Scanning
Sequence
Before you begin writing the control program, it is important to take a few minutes to
understand how the module processes and represents the analog signals.
The F3–08AD module supplies1 channel of data per each CPU scan. Since there
are eight channels, it can take up to eight scans to get data for all channels. Once all
channels have been scanned the process starts over with channel 1.
Y ou do not have to select all of the channels. Unused channels are not processed, so
if you select only four channels, then the channels will be updated within four scans.

Even though the channel updates to the CPU are synchronous with the CPU scan,
the module asynchronously monitors the analog transmitter signal and converts the
signal to 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.

Understanding the
I/O Assignments
You may recall the F3–08AD module appears to the CPU as a 16-point module.
These 16 points provide:
San indication of which channel is active.
Sthe digital representation of the analog signal.
Since all I/O points are automatically mapped into Register (R) memory, it is very
easy to determine the location of the data word that will be assigned to the module.

Analog Data Bits
The remaining twelve bits represent the
analog data in binary format.
Since the module has 12-bit resolution,
the analog signal is converted into 4096
“pieces” ranging from 0 – 4095 (2
12
). For
example, with a 4 – 20 mA scale, a 4 mA
signal would be 0, and a 20 mA 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 following diagram
shows how this relates to each signal
range.
Each “piece” can also be expressed in
terms of the signal level by using the
equation shown. The following table
shows the smallest signal levels that will
result in a change in the data value for
each signal range.

Since all channels are multiplexed into a single data word, the control program must
be setup to determine which channel is being read. Since the module provides input
points to the CPU, it is very easy to use the active channel status bits to determine
which channel is being monitored.

The following example shows a program that is designed to read a single channel of
analog data into a Register location on every scan. Once the data is in a Register,
you can perform math on the data, compare the data against preset values, etc. This
example is designed to read channel 1. Since you use jumpers to select the number
of channels to scan, this is the only channel that you can use in this manner.

This rung loads the data into the accumulator on

Since the active channel indicators are all off when
channel 1 is being read, you would not have to use
them. (Since you cannot isolate the individual
channels for scanning, channel 1 is the only
channel that can be used in this manner.) The
DOUT1 instruction moves the data to a storage
register. The BCD value will be stored in R400 and
R401. (Two bytes are required for four digit BCD
numbers.)
The DL305 CPUs perform math operations in
BCD. This instruction converts the binary data to
BCD. (You can omit this step if your application
does not require the conversion.)

Temporarily store the bits to Register 500. Since

Now that all the bits are stored, load all twelve bits
into the accumulator.
Math operations are performed in BCD. This

The channel indicator inputs are used to let the
CPU know which channel has been loaded into the

DOUT instruction, you can easily move the data to
a storage register. Notice the DOUT instruction
stores the data in two bytes. (Two bytes are

F3–08AD–1 8-Channel Analog Input
The following instructions are required to scale the data. We’ll continue to use the
42.9 PSI example. In this example we’re using channel 1. Input 1 14, input 115, and
input 116 are all off when channel 1 data is being read. Of course, if you were using a
different channel, you would use the active channel indicator point combination that
corresponds to the channel you were using.
This example assumes you have already read the analog data
and stored the BCD equivalent in R400 and R401

You probably noticed the previous example yielded 42 PSI when the real value
should have been 42.9 PSI. By changing the scaling value slightly, we can “imply” an
extra decimal of precision. Notice in the following example we’ve added another digit
to the scale. Instead of a scale of 100, we’re using 1000, which implies 100.0 for the
PSI range.

This example program shows how you can use the instructions to load these
equation constants into data registers. The example was written for channel 1, but
you could easily use a similar approach to use different scales for all channels if
required.
You could just use the appropriate constants in the instructions dedicated for each
channel, but this method allows easier modifications. For example, you could easily
use an operator interface or a programming device to change the constants if they
are stored in Registers.

Writing the Control Program (DL350)
4–15
Reading Values:
Pointer Method
and Multiplexing
Pointer Method
There are two methods of reading values for the DL350:
SThe pointer method (all system bases must be D3–xx–1 bases to
support the pointer method)
SMultiplexing
You must use the multiplexing method with remote I/O modules (the pointer method
will not work). You can use either method when using DL350, but for ease of
programming it is strongly recommended that you use the pointer method.
NOTE: Do not use the pointer method and the PID PV auto transfer from I/O module
function together for the same module. If using PID loops, use the pointer method
and ladder logic code to map the analog input data into the PID loop table.
The DL350 has special V-memory locations assigned to each base slot that greatly
simplifies the programming requirements. These V-memory locations allow you to:
Sspecify the data format
Sspecify the number of channels to scan
Sspecify the storage locations
The example program shows how to setup these locations. Place this rung
anywhere in the ladder program or in the Initial Stage if you are using RLL
PLUS
instructions. This is all that is required to read the 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. In this example the module is installed in slot 2. You
should use the V-memory locations for your module placement.

Loads a constant that specifies the number of channels to scan and

selects the data format (i.e. 0=BCD, 8=Binary), the LSN selects
the number of channels (i.e. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8).
The binary format is used for displaying data on some operator
interfaces.
Special V-memory location assigned to slot 2 that contains the
number of channels to scan.
This loads an octal value for the first V-memory location that will be
used to store the incoming data. For example, the O2000 entered
here would designate the following addresses.
Ch1 - V2000, Ch2 - V2001, Ch3 - V2002, Ch4 - V2003,
Ch5 – V2004, Ch6 – V2005, Ch7 – V2006, Ch8 – V2007
The octal address (O2000) is stored here. V7672 is assigned to slot
2 and acts as a pointer, which means the CPU will use the octal
value in this location to determine exactly where to store the
incoming data.

The table shows the special V-memory locations used with the DL350. Slot 0 (zero)
is the module next to the CPU, slot 1 is the module two places from the CPU, and so
on. Remember, the CPU only examines the pointer values at these locations after a
mode transition. The pointer method is supported on expansion bases up to a total of
8 slots away from the DL350 CPU. The pointer method is not supported in slot 8 of a
10 slot base.

Scaling the
Input Data
Most applications usually require
measurements in engineering units,
Units + A
H * L
4095
which provide more meaningful data.
This is accomplished by using the
conversion formula shown.
You may have to make adjustments to
the formula depending on the scale you
choose for the engineering units.
H = high limit of the engineering
unit range
L = low limit of the engineering
unit range
A = Analog value (0 – 4095)
For example, if you wanted to measure pressure (PSI) from 0.0 to 99.9 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.
Here is how you would write the program to perform the engineering unit conversion.
This example assumes you have BCD data loaded into the appropriate V-memory
locations using instructions that apply for the model of CPU you are using.
NOTE:This example uses SP1, which is always on. You could also use an X, C, etc. permissive contact.

factory for sixteen channel operation.
Any unused channels are not processed
so if you only select channels 1–8, then
Jumpers installed as shown

the last eight channels will not be active.
The following table shows which jumpers
to install.
As you examined the jumper settings, you may have noticed there are current
jumpers for each individual channel. These jumpers allow you to select the type of
signal (voltage or current).
The span and polarity jumpers are used to select the signal range. The polarity and
span selection affect all the channels. For example, if you select unipolar operation
and a 10V span, you can use both 0 –10V and 0–20 mA signals at the same time.
Channels that will receive 0–20 mA signals should have the current jumper installed.
The following table shows the jumper selections for the various ranges. (Only
channel 1 is used in the example, but all channels must be set.)

adjustment potentiometer. This small

for certain situations.
For example, if you have 0–5V
transmitters you have to use the 0–10V
scale on the module. Since the module
converts the signal to a digital value
between 0 and 4095, a 5V signal would
only yield a value of 2048. Fortunately,
the variable gain feature provides a
simple solution. Just complete the
following steps.
1. Install a jumper on the gain adjustment pins. (This jumper location is
labeled ADJ. This jumper will remain installed after the gain adjustment .)
2. Apply 5V to one of the channels.
3. Use a handheld programmer or DirectSOFT to monitor the input register
that contains the analog data. (If you’re not familiar with this procedure, wait
until you read the section on Writing the Control Program. This will show
you how to get data into a register. You can come back to this procedure
later.)
4. Adjust the potentiometer until the register value reads 4094 or 4095. The
potentiometer is turned clockwise to increase the gain.

Now the module has been adjusted so a 5V signal provides a digital value of 4095
instead of 2048.

Wiring Guidelines
User Power Supply
Requirements
Y our 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.
SUse the shortest wiring route whenever possible.
SUse shielded wiring and ground the shield at the signal source. Do not
ground the shield at both the module and the source.
SDon’t run the signal wiring next to large motors, high current switches, or
transformers. This may cause noise problems.
SRoute 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.
The F3–16AD receives all power from the base. A separate power supply is not
required.

Ranges
Occasionally you may have the need to connect a transmitter with an unusual signal
range. By changing the wiring slightly and adding an external resistor to convert the
current to voltage, you can easily adapt this module to meet the specifications for a
transmitter that does not adhere to one of the standard input ranges. The following
diagram shows how this works.

Current Loop
Transmitter
Impedance
Standard 4 to 2 0 m A transmitters and transducers can operate from a wide variety of
power supplies. Not all transmitters are alike and the manufacturers often specify a
minimum loop or load resistance that must be used with the transmitter at the various
voltages.
The F3–16AD provides 500 ohm resistance for each channel. If your transmitter
requires a load resistance below 500 ohms, then you do not have to make any
adjustments. However , if your transmitter requires a load resistance higher than 500
ohms, then you need to add a resistor in series with the module.
Consider the following example for a transmitter being operated from a 36 VDC
supply with a recommended load resistance of 750 ohms. Since the module has a
500 ohm resistor, you need to add an additional resistor.

Sequence
F3–16AD 16-Channel Analog Input
Before you begin writing the control program, it is important to take a few minutes to
understand how the module processes and represents the analog signals.
The F3–16AD module supplies 1 channel of data per each CPU scan. Since there
are sixteen channels, it can take up to sixteen scans to get data for all channels.
Once all channels have been scanned the process starts over with channel 1.
Y ou do not have to select all of the channels. Unused channels are not processed, so
if you select only eight channels, then the channels will be updated within eight
scans.

Store data
Even though the channel updates to the CPU are synchronous with the CPU scan,
the module asynchronously monitors the analog transmitter signal and converts the
signal to 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.

Understanding the
I/O Assignments
You may recall the F3–16AD module appears to the CPU as a 16-point module.
These 16 points provide:
San indication of which channel is active.
Sthe digital representation of the analog signal.
Since all I/O points are automatically mapped into Register (R) memory, it is very
easy to determine the location of the data word that will be assigned to the module.

Since the module has 12-bit resolution, the analog signal is converted into 4096
12
“pieces” ranging from 0 – 4095 (2
). For example, with a 0 to 10V scale, a 0V signal
would be 0, and a 10V signal would be 4095. This is equivalent to a a binary value of
0000 0000 0000 to 1111 1111 1111, or 000 to FFF hexadecimal. The following
diagram shows how this relates to each signal range.

NOTE: When you use 4–20mA signals, you have to use the 0–20mA scale. You do
not have resolution of 4096 if the 4–20mA signal is present. In this case, the range is
819 to 4095. This is because a 0 still represents 0mA, not 4mA.
Each “piece” can also be expressed in
terms of the signal level by using the
Resolution +
H * L

equation shown. The following table
shows the smallest signal levels that will
possibly result in a change in the data
value for each signal range.
H = high limit of the signal range
L = low limit of the signal range

Writing the Control Program (DL330 / DL340)
F3–16AD 16-Channel Analog Input
Identifying the
Data Locations
Since all channels are multiplexed into a single data word, the control program must
be setup to determine which channel is being read. Since the module provides input
points to the CPU, it is very easy to use the active channel status bits to determine
which channel is being monitored.
