1. Introduction

I-7000 is a family of network data acquisition and control
modules. They provide analog-to-digital, digital-to-a nalog, digital
input/output, timer/counter and other functions. These modules ca n
be remote controlled by a set of commands. The common features
of I-7011/11D/1 1P/11PD/18/18P are given as following :

z 3000VDC Isolated a nalog input
z 24-bits sigma-delta ADC to provide excellent accuracy
z Thermocouple direct connect with build-in CJC
z Software calibration

The I-701 1 is a single cha nnel analog input module. The I­7011D is the I-701 1 with a 4½ digit LED display . The I-7018 is a 8­channel analog input module. The I-7011P/11PD/18P is the en­ha nced version of I-7011/1 1D/18. The I-701 1P/1 1PD/18P support
more thermocouple types a nd enha nced the mea sure ra nge of some
types.

Notification :
1 While calibrate type 06, need connect external shunt resistor ,

125 ohms, 0.1% (Ref Sec.1.5).

2 Connect calibration voltage(or current) signal to module’s

input. For I-7018/18P, connect to channel 0. (Wire connect ref

Sec.1.5)

3 Before calibration, warm-up module a bout 30 minutes for bet-

ter accuracy.
Example Calibration Sequence f or Type 00 :
1 Setting Type to 00 -> Ref

Sec.2.1.

2 Enable Calibration -> Ref

Sec.2.20.

3 Apply Zero Calibration Voltage (0mV)
4 Preform Zero Calibration Command -> Ref Sec.2.6.
5 Apply Span Calibration Voltage (15mV)
6 Perform Span Calibration Comma nd -> Ref Sec.2.5.
7 Repeat step1 to step6 three times.
Calibration sequence for other type is si mili ar but dif ferent in step
1 to set different type.

3. Application Note

3.1 INIT* pin Operation

Ea ch I-7000 module has a build-in EEPROM to store con­figuration information such as address, type, baudrate and other
information. Sometimes, user may forget the configuration of the
module. Therefore, the I-7000 have a special mode named “INIT
mode”, to help user to resolve the problem. The “INIT mode” is
setting as Addr e ss=00, baudrate=9600bps, no checksum

To enable INIT mode, please follow these ste ps:
Step1. Power off the module
Step2. Connect the INIT* pin with the GND pin.
Step3. Power on
Step4. Send command $002(cr) in 9600bps to read the configura­tion stored in the module’s EEPROM.

Ref er to “7000 Bus Converter User M a nual” Sec.5.1 and
“Getting Start” for more information.

3.2 Module Status

PowerOn Reset or Module Watchdog Reset will let all

output goto PowerOn V alue. And the module may accept the host’s
command to change the output value.

Host Watchdog Timeout will let all digital output goto
Safe Value.The host watchdog timeout flag is set, and the output

command will be ignored. The module’s LED will go to flash and
user must reset the Module Status vi a command to restore normal
operation.

3.3 Dual Watchdog Operation

Dual Watchdog = Module Watchdog + Host Watchdog

The Module Watchdog is a hardware reset circuit to moni­tor the module’s operating status. While working in harsh or noisy
environment, the module may be down by the external signal. The
circuit may let the module to work continues and never halt.

The Host Watchdog is a software function to monitor the
host’s operating status. Its purpose is to prevent the network/com­munication from problem or host halt. While the timeout occurred,
the module will turn the all output into safe state to prevent from
unexpected problem of controlled target.

The I-7000 module with Dual Watchdog may let the con­trol system more reli able and sta ble.

3.4 Digital Input and Event Counter

The digital input DI0 may work as event counter. The
counter updates while the input changes from high level to low
level. The counter is 16-bit width and useful for low speed count,
frequency is lower than 50Hz.

3.5 Digital Output

When the module power on, the host watchdog timeout
flag is checked first. If the status is set, the digital outputs (DO0 a nd
DO1) of module will set to Safe Value. If the flag is clear, the digital
outputs will set to PowerOn Value.

If the host watchdog timeout flag is set, the module will
ignore the digital output command @AADO(Data).

3.6 High/Low Alarm

Some analog input modules, like I-7011, equip with the
high/low alarm function. When the alarm function is enabled, the
digital output DO0 is the low alarm indicator, DO1 is the high alarm
indicator, and the digital output comma nd for changing digital out­puts DO0, DO1 is ignored. The alarm function is to compare the
a nalog input value with given high alarm value a nd low alarm value.
And there are two alarm types a s follows :

z Momentary alarm : the alarm status is cleared while the

analog input is not over the alarm value.

If Analog Input Value > High Alarm, DO1(High alarm) is on,

else DO1 is off.

If Analog Input Value < Low Alarm, DO0(Low alarm) is on,

else DO0 is off.

z Latch Alarm : the alarm is cleared only the user send com-

mand to clear.

If Analog Input Value > High Alarm, DO1(High alarm) is on,
else if Analog Input V alue < Low Alarm, DO0(Low alarm) is

on.

3.7 Thermocouple Measur ement

When two wires composed of dissi milar metal are joined at
one end and heated, the open circuit voltage is a function of the
junction temperature and the composition of the two metals. All
dissimilar metals exhibit this ef fect. The voltage is called “Seebeck
voltage”. For small changes in temperature the Seebeck voltage is
linearly proportional to temperature.

I-7011, I-7018 User ManualRev:B1.0

63

To measure the Seebeck voltage directly is not available
because we must first connect a voltmeter to the thermocouple,
and the voltmeter leads themselves create a new thermoelectric
circuit. Theref ore we need to eliminate the junction thermoelectric
to measure the correct Seebeck voltage, and this is called “Cold
Junction Compensation”.

For most thermocouples, the Seebeck voltage is 0V while
in 0°C. One si mple way to cancel the junction voltage is to put the
junction into 0°C enviroment and the junction voltage is 0V. Nor ­mally , this is not a good method for most application. T ypical method
is to mea sure the junction te mperature by thermistor , and measure
the junction voltage from the junction temperature. Then we may
get the Seebeck voltage from mea sured thermocouple voltage and
junction voltage, and we may calculate the temperature from the
Seebeck voltage.
