mV Custom Scale
C Celsius Predefined ScaleF FahrenheitKKelvinR Rankine
°C, F, °R, and °K returns data in tenths of a degree (250 implies 25.0 °).
For the 1734-IR2E, (250 implies 2.50
C, F, R, and K returns data in hundreths of a degree
). If scaling is set to 10,000 and 20,000, the module returns
hundredths of an ohm (12345 implies 123.45).
For the 1734-IR2, if using ohms, the default data returned is in tenths of ohms (1234 implies 123.4 Ω).
For the 1734-IT2, if using mV, the default data is returned in hundredths of a mV, or tens of a μV (3500 implies 35.00

• Level (low-low, low, high, high-high)
• Cold-junction Compensation (CJC) Fault (1734-IT2 only)
•Open-wire Detection
High Scaling Endpoint
Overrange Alarm (1734-IT2I, 1734-IR2, and 1734-IR2E modules)
The channel overrange alarm is set if the input is greater than the maximum temperature (thermocouple or RTD range dependent), millivolt (+75 mV) or resistance (600 Ω) range value, or above the maximum range of the thermocouple or RTD.
The cold junction compensator has its own overrange alarm. If the CJC temperature goes above 70 C, the overrange alarm is set.
Underrange Alarm (1734-IT2I, 1734-IR2, and 1734-IR2E modules)
The channel underrange alarm is set if the input is less than the minimum temperature (thermocouple or RTD range dependent), millivolt (-75 mV) or resistance (10 Ω) range value, or below the minimum range of the thermocouple or RTD.
The cold junction compensator has its own underrange alarm. If the CJC temperature goes below 0 C, the underrange alarm is set.
Level Alarms (1734-IT2I, 1734-IR2, and 1734-IR2E modules)
The following level alarms are available.
•Low
Publication 1734-UM004F-EN-E - December 2012
6 About POINT I/O Modules
• Low-Low
•High
•High-High
When the channel input goes below a low alarm or above a high alarm, a bit is set in the data table. All Alarm Status bits can be read individually or by reading the Channel Status Byte (Bits 2...5 for channel 0; bits 10...13 for channel 1).
You can configure each channel alarm individually.
Open-wire Alarm (1734-IT2I, 1734-IR2, and 1734-IR2E modules)
The module has the ability to check for a broken or detached wire. In any mode, if a broken/detached lead is detected, the data value is forced to maximum and the overrange alarm is set. Once the alarm is issued, it remains active as long as the input signal is faulted.

Cold Junction Compensation (1734-IT2I module)

Chapter Summary

When using thermocouples, cold junction compensation is required at the termination of the thermocouple wire. Accomplish a cold junction in the following ways:
• Enter an estimated temperature.
• Use a 1734-TBCJC mounting base (recommended).
• Use external cold junction compensators.
Entering an estimated temperature is the least accurate way for CJC compensation. Using the compensation built-into the 1734-TBCJC provides the easiest and most accurate way.
An open CJC causes the CJC input to point to the maximum temperature value for the selected input type. This causes an alarm to be set. Once the alarm is issued, it remains active as long as the input signal is faulted (above maximum).
In this chapter you were given an overview of the 1734 family of modules. The next chapter walks you through installing your module.

POINT I/O is grounded through the DIN rail to chassis ground. Use zinc-plated, yellow-chromated steel DIN rail to assure proper grounding. The use of DIN rail materials (such as aluminum and plastic) that can corrode, oxidize, or are poor conductors can result in improper or intermittent grounding.
Secure DIN rail to mounting surface approximately every 200 mm (7.8 in.).
You can install the assembly, or just the mounting base.
Follow this procedure to install the mounting base/wiring base assembly on the DIN rail.
1. Position the mounting base (wiring base) assembly vertically above the installed units (adapter, power supply, or existing module).
2. Slide the mounting base down so that the interlocking side pieces engage the adjacent module or adapter.
Do not discard the end cap shipped with an adapter or communication interface. Use this end cap to cover the exposed interconnections on the last mounting base on the DIN rail. Failure to do so could result in equipment damage or injury from electric shock.

In this chapter, you learn how to do the following.
• Add the adapter to the system.
• Commission individual modules in the system.
• Set the individual modules parameters.

Commissioning a Node

17 Publication 1734-UM004F-EN-E - December 2012
Here are the methods for commissioning nodes.
• Use the RSNetWorx commissioning pull-down dialog.
• Use the Sequential Auto Addressing feature.
• Use third-party configuration software.
.
18 Configure Your Module
IMPORTANT
ATTENTION
Using the RSNetWorx Commissioning Tool
Use the RSNetWorx commissioning tool to commission devices (set the node address and the data rate parameters) that are:
• connected to a DeviceNet network.
• connected via a point-to-point connection.
The node commissioning tool works through RSLinx; RSNetWorx does not have to be online when performing the operation.
Before you can add any device to a DeviceNet network, it must be commissioned. This means that a node address and a data rate must be programmed into the device. Some devices are precommissioned, meaning a node address (usually set to 63) and a data rate (usually set to 500 Kbps) are programmed into the device at the factory prior to shipment. Other devices muse be commissioned in the field. Once a device is commissioned and attached to a network, you can use the RSNetWorx for DeviceNet node commissioning tool to edit the node address and data rate that were set previously.
Exercise caution while editing node addresses when on a network. When you apply a new node address, it immediately overwrites the node address data in the device currently specified. If you decide to reassign node addresses, you should first determine the order you use so that all the devices still have unique node addresses when you are finished.
For example, if two of the devices on your network are a photoelectric sensor and a hand controller, and you accidentally change the node address of the hand controller to be the same as that of the photoelectric sensor, then the photoelectric sensor no longer has a unique address, which means that it is not be able to provide data to the scanner. If you cannot access a device because you have used its node address for another device, you have to remove it from the network, recommission it, then reinstall it on the network.
Do not change the data rate of devices while they are connected to a network. Erratic operation may result. We recommend that if you need to change the data rate of a device, you should remove it from the network, establish a point-to-point connection between the PC, which hosts the RSNetWorx for DeviceNet software, and the target device, recommission it, and then, reconnect it to the network.
Publication 1734-UM004F-EN-E - December 2012
Configure Your Module 19
IMPORTANT
Use Sequential Auto Addressing
Sequential Auto Addressing (SAA) reassigns the node address of every module to the right of the one you select. Each module changes its node address to one greater than its neighbor.
Make sure the node address of the selected module is the desired value before issuing the SAA command.
When this command is set, each module to the right gets a new address one greater than its neighbor. The addressing ripples through a line of POINT I/O modules, assigning a node number to each module installed in a mounting base.
Perform this procedure to Auto Address a line of POINT I/O modules.
1. Set the address of the first module you want to address.

Add the Adapter to Your Network

2. Set the Auto Address command to Sequential Address.
3. All modules in line reset with new sequential addresses.
An example is if 5 POINT I/O modules are in a line, and the address of the first module is 10. After the Sequential Address command is sent to the first module, the node address of the line is: 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14.
Use Third Party Configuration Software
When using third party configuration software, simply load the EDS files into the software and follow the designer’s instructions.
You can use the RSNetWorx for DeviceNet software, or some other configuration tool for DeviceNet, to configure your module. If the EDS files are not in your software, you can get them at
http://www.ab.com/networks/eds/
You can configure the module while it is:

Configure Your Thermocouple Input Module

Configuration can be divided into two categories: Basic Set-up Parameters and Advanced Setup Parameters.
Basic Set-up Parameters
The basic parameters you need to set for the thermocouple module consist of:
• Temperature units - Select how the input is linearized:
mV/Custom Scale (default)CelsiusFahrenheitKelvinRankine
• Thermocouple type - Choose the type of sensor for this input. The module performs the linearization of the selected type.
mV (No Linearization)Type BType CType EType JType KType NType RType SType T
• Cold Junction Enable - This bit enables or disables the cold junction linearization. If enabled, the proper cold junction compensation value is applied to the selected thermocouple. If disabled, the data (CJ Temperature) is still available but not applied to the input. If the Cold Junction Compensation Removable Terminal Block is not available, this parameter should be set to disabled. A cold junction value can be added using the Cold Junction Offset parameter.
• Cold Junction Produced Data - Selects how the Cold Junction Data is returned in the Produced IO message. The last two bytes of the produced message contain one of the following.
None (zeros) Channel 0 (default) Channel 1 - Average of both channels
The Over/Under Range status is also included in the last two bytes, along with the cold junction value.

• Digital filter - A digital filter is available on this module. You set a time constant which is used in the equation:
Yn = Yn-1 + (dt / (dt + TA) * (Xn-Yn-1) Where: Yn = new data
Yn-1 = old data dt = Channel Update Rate in milliseconds T
= digital filter time constant
A
Xn = present unfiltered data
TA can be an integer from 0 to 10,000 ms. If set to 0, the filter is disabled.
• Cold Junction Offset - If you do not use a 1734-RTBCJC removable terminal block, enter an estimate for the junction temperature here. Enter the value in hundreths of degrees Celsius, even if another scale is selected (2500 implies 25.00 °C).
• Enable alarms latch - If enabled, alarms for this channel latch FAULTED until a Latch Reset command is received.
The alarms effected are:

Appendix
Calculate Absolute Accuracy and Accuracy Drift
B

Overview

Calculate with Formulas

The Absolute Accuracy and Accuracy Drift with temperature specification applies only to mV input for 1734-IT2I, and to ohms input for 1734-IR2 and 1734-IR2E modules. These specifications are listed in the POINT I/O RTD and Isolated Thermocouple Input Module Installation Instructions, publication 1734-IN011
Use mV input (1734-IT2I) or ohms input (1734-IR2 and 1734-IR2E) to verify the Absolute Accuracy or Accuracy Drift of the POINT I/O modules.
Here are the formulas for calculating Absolute Accuracy and Accuracy Drift in mV or ohms.
.
Absolute Accuracy Formula
Absolute Accuracy measurement is to be done at 25 C. The formula to calculate Absolute Accuracy is as follows:
[(measured value - expected value)/ full scale] x 100 %
Accuracy Drift Formula
Accuracy Drift measurement is to be done at 2 ambient Temperature points: T1 and T2. The formula to calculate Accuracy Drift is as follows:
[(measured value (T2) - (measured value (T1)]/ [(T2 - T1) x full scale] x 1000 000
69 Publication 1734-UM004F-EN-E - December 2012
70 Calculate Absolute Accuracy and Accuracy Drift
Full Scale Values
Use the following full scale values to calculate the formula:
Full Scale Values
Module Full Scale Value
1734-IT2I 160 mV 1734-IR2 625 Ω 1734-IR2E 157 Ω
To find out the Absolute Accuracy or Drift in degree Celsius, you can consult a conversion table.
