Selecting a Module Input
Type
The 1734-IT2I module consists of two isolated millivolt inputs (+70 mV).
Configure the module to do the linearization necessary for thermocouple
inputs. See the table for a list of supported thermocouple input types.
The 1734-IR2 consists of two RTD inputs (0...600 W). Configure the module
to do the linearization necessary for RTD inputs. See the table for a list of
supported input types.
The 1734-IR2E consists of two RTD inputs (0...200 W). Configure the module
to do the linearization necessary for RTD inputs. See the table for a list of
supported input types.
I/O messages are sent to (consumed) and received from (produced) the
POINT I/O modules. These messages are mapped into the processor’s
memory. The Thermocouple input module produces 8 bytes of input data
(scanner Rx) and fault status data. It does not consume I/O data (scanner Tx).
Publication 1734-UM004F-EN-E - December 2012
The RTD input module produces 6 bytes of input data (scanner Rx) and fault
status data. It does not consume I/O data (scanner Tx).

(catalog numbers 1734-IR2, and 1734-IR2E)
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
17Publication 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:
.
• online.
• offline.

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:
• Thermocouple type - Choose the type of sensor for this input. The
module performs the linearization of the selected type.
– mV (No Linearization)
– Type B
– Type C
– Type E
– Type J
– Type K
– Type N
– Type R
– Type S
– Type 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.

Configure Your Module 25
Advanced Setup Parameters
Advanced parameters you can set for the thermocouple module consist of:
• Notch filter - Select the Notch Filter for the analog to digital converter.
At higher frequencies, faster sample rates are possible
If the filter value is changed, the module may require calibration to meet
specifications.
• 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:
– Input Status
– Low and High level
– Range
• Disable alarms - If Alarms are Disabled, all alarms for this channel show
No FAULT. This is useful for unused channels.

Before you configure your modules, note the following about Data formats
and Connection types.
Communication Formats
55Publication 1734-UM004F-EN-E - December 2012
• Data format type is Integer.
• Connection types are:
– Data
– Listen Only
Communication formats for adapters are:
• Listen Only - Rack Optimization
•None
• Rack Optimization
Choices for formats for the module depend on the Communication format for
the adapter. See the table for a listing of possible module Connection formats
based on adapter Communication formats. The modules do not support Rack

When you change Connection and Data Format:
• you do not delete the existing module.
• you do not create a new module.
• you bring forward all possible configuration data for the new setting.
• configuration data that you cannot bring forward sets to the default
value.
Configure Your Module
Once you apply new settings, this becomes the base configuration for the next
change in Connection and Data Format settings. When you select Apply, you
lose all configuration data from previous data formats.
Perform this procedure to configure your module in RSLogix 5000 software:
1. Configure your adapter. Refer to the user manual for your adapter for
information on how to configure the adapter and add modules to the
I/O configuration to include the following:
• Select a controller
• Select a communication module
2. Add a 1734-IR2, 1734-IR2E or 1734-IT2I module, according to the
instructions in your adapter user manual.

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
69Publication 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
ModuleFull Scale Value
1734-IT2I160 mV
1734-IR2625 Ω
1734-IR2E157 Ω
