Introduction
ControlLogix HART analog I/O modules connect a Logix controller to your
process. 1756-IF8H and 1756-IF16H input modules receive the signals from
process value transmitters and convert them to temperature, flow, pressure, pH,
and other measurements for use in the Logix controller. By using 1756-OF8H
HART output modules, the controller adjusts the setting of valves and other
devices to keep your process running as desired.
Using instruments that support the HART protocol allows measuring several
process parameters with a single field device, provides enhanced status and
diagnostics, and allows remote configuration and troubleshooting.
The table explains the topics discussed in this chapter.

This figure shows the physical features of the ControlLogix analog I/O modules.
HART Communication
The HART field communication protocol is widely accepted in industry as a
standard for digitally enhanced 4…20 mA communication with smart
(microprocessor-based) field devices. A digital signal is superimposed onto the
4…20 mA current loop to provide two means of communication from the device.
The 4…20 mA analog channel lets a single process variable be communicated at
the fastest possible rate while the digital channel provides access to multiple
process variables, data quality, and device status information. The HART
protocol lets these simultaneous communication channels be used in a
complementary fashion.
The modules support the HART protocol and perform these distinct operations:
• Convert to or from 4…20 mA analog signals and digital numeric values in
engineering units used in the Logix controller.
• Collect dynamic process data automatically from the connected HART
field device, such as temperature, pressure, flow, or valve position.
• Configure and troubleshoot the HART Field Device by using FactoryTalk
AssetCentre service from your control room.

Commands can be accepted from either of two master devices. The controller is
one of the master devices and continuously obtains information from the field
device. The second master can typically be device maintenance, for example a
handheld communicator, as shown below.
Integrated HART Networks
Most transmitters are available with a HART protocol interface. The type of data
available is dependent on the type of instrument.
An example application is a smart mass flowmeter. By using just the standard
mA signal from the flowmeter it provides one field measurement - flow. By using
the mA signal with HART provides additional process information. The
mA signal representing flow is still available. The HART configuration of the
flowmeter can be set for primary value (PV)
(SV) being static pressure, third value (TV) being temperature, and
fourth value (FV)
being a digital representation of the mA signal.
In addition to these additional process variables, device status is also provided via
HART. Instead of one process variable, the controller sees four process variables,
has a check on the mA signal, and has a reading of device status. HART
connectivity provides all this with no changes to the existing 4…20 mA wiring.
This HART connectivity also provides remote configuration and
troubleshooting of field devices by using software, such as FactoryTalk
AssetCentre or Endress+Hauser FieldCare software.

Asset Management
Software
Electronic Keying
You can use the modules with asset management software. The following figure
shows the use of asset management software, such as FactoryTalk AssetCentre
software or Endress+Hauser FieldCare software.
The electronic keying feature automatically compares the expected module, as
shown in the RSLogix 5000 I/O Configuration tree, to the physical module
before I/O communication begins. You can use electronic keying to help prevent
communication to a module that does not match the type and revision expected.
For each module in the I/O Configuration tree, the user-selected keying option
determines if, and how, an electronic keying check is performed. Typically, three
keying options are available.
• Exact Match
• Compatible Keying
• Disable Keying
You must carefully consider the benefits and implications of each keying option
when selecting between them. For some specific module types, fewer options are
available.
Electronic keying is based on a set of attributes unique to each product revision.
When a Logix5000 controller begins communicating with a module, this set of
keying attributes is considered.
Table 1 - Keying Attributes

IMPORTANT
You can find revision information on the General tab of a module’s Properties
dialog box.
Figure 1 - General Tab
Changing electronic keying selections online may cause the I/O
communication connection to the module to be disrupted and may
result in a loss of data.
Exact Match
Exact Match keying requires all keying attributes, that is, Vendor, Product Type,
Product Code (catalog number), Major Revision, and Minor Revision, of the
physical module and the module created in the software to match precisely to
establish communication. If any attribute does not match precisely, I/O
communication is not permitted with the module or with modules connected
through it, as in the case of a communication module.
Use Exact Match keying when you need the system to verify that the module
revisions in use are exactly as specified in the project, such as for use in highlyregulated industries. Exact Match keying is also necessary to enable Automatic
Firmware Update for the module via the Firmware Supervisor feature from a
Logix5000 controller.

IMPORTANT
In the following scenario, Exact Match keying prevents I/O communication.
The module configuration is for a 1756-IB16D module with module revision 3.1. The physical module is a 1756-IB16D
module with module revision 3.2. In this case, communication is prevented because the Minor Revision of the module
does not match precisely.
Changing electronic keying selections online may cause the I/O
Communication connection to the module to be disrupted and may
result in a loss of data.
Compatible Keying
Compatible keying indicates that the module determines whether to accept or
reject communication. Different module families, communication adapters, and
module types implement the compatibility check differently based on the family
capabilities and on prior knowledge of compatible products.
Compatible keying is the default setting. Compatible keying allows the physical
module to accept the key of the module configured in the software, provided that
the configured module is one the physical module is capable of emulating. The
exact level of emulation required is product and revision specific.
With Compatible keying, you can replace a module of a certain Major Revision
with one of the same catalog number and the same or later, that is higher, Major
Revision. In some cases, the selection makes it possible to use a replacement that is
a different catalog number than the original. For example, you can replace a
1756-CNBR module with a 1756-CN2R module.

Communication is prevented.
In the following scenario, Compatible keying prevents I/O communication:
The module configuration is for a 1756-IB16D module with module revision 3.3. The physical module is a 1756-IB16D
module with module revision 3.2. In this case, communication is prevented because the minor revision of the module is
lower than expected and may not be compatible with 3.3.
Release notes for individual modules indicate the specific compatibility details.
When a module is created, the module developers consider the module’s
development history to implement capabilities that emulate those of the previous
module. However, the developers cannot know future developments. Because of
this, when a system is configured, we recommend that you configure the module
by using the earliest, that is, lowest, revision of the physical module that you
believe will be used in the system. By doing this, you can avoid the case of a
physical module rejecting the keying request because it is an earlier revision than
the one configured in the software.

IMPORTANT
In the following scenario, Compatible keying allows I/O communication:
The module configuration is for a 1756-IB16D module with module revision 2.1. The physical module is a 1756-IB16D
module with module revision 3.2. In this case, communication is allowed because the major revision of the physical
module is higher than expected and the module determines that it is compatible with the prior major revision.
Changing electronic keying selections online may cause the I/O
communication connection to the module to be disrupted and may result
in a loss of data.
Disabled Keying
Disabled keying indicates the keying attributes are not considered when
attempting to communicate with a module. Other attributes, such as data size and
format, are considered and must be acceptable before I/O communication is
established. With Disabled keying, I/O communication may occur with a
module other than the type specified in the I/O Configuration tree with
unpredictable results. We generally do not recommend using Disabled keying.
ATTENTION: Be extremely cautious when using Disabled keying; if used
incorrectly, this option can lead to personal injury or death, property
damage, or economic loss.

In the following scenario, Disable keying prevents I/O communication:
The module configuration is for a 1756-IA16 digital input module. The physical module is a 1756-IF16 analog input
module. In this case, communication is prevented because the analog module rejects the data formats that the digital module configuration requests.
If you use Disabled keying, you must take full responsibility for understanding
whether the module that is being used can fulfill the functional requirements of
the application.
22Rockwell Automation Publication 1756-UM533C-EN-P - February 2011
In the following scenario, Disable keying allows I/O communication:
The module configuration is for a 1756-IA16 digital input module. The physical module is a 1756-IB16 digital input
module. In this case, communication is allowed because the two digital modules share common data formats.
ControlLogix HART Analog I/O Modules Chapter 1
IMPORTANT
Changing electronic keying selections online may cause the I/O
communication connection to the module to be disrupted and may
result in a loss of data.
Timestamping
Controllers within the ControlLogix chassis maintain a system clock. This clock
is also known as the coordinated system time (CST). You can configure your
analog I/O modules to access this clock and timestamp input data or output echo
data when the module multicasts to the system.
This feature provides accurate calculations between events to help you identify
the sequence of events in either fault conditions or in the course of normal I/O
operations. The system clock can be used between multiple modules in the
same chassis.
Each module maintains a rolling timestamp that is unrelated to the coordinated
system time. The rolling timestamp is a continuously running 15-bit timer that
counts in milliseconds.
For input modules, whenever a module scans its channels, it also records the value
of the rolling timestamp at that time. Your program can then use the last two
rolling timestamp values and calculate the interval between receipt of data or the
time when new data was received.
For output modules, the rolling timestamp value is updated only when new values
are applied to the Digital to Analog Converter (DAC).
Rockwell Automation Publication 1756-UM533C-EN-P - February 201123
Chapter 1 ControlLogix HART Analog I/O Modules
Module Scaling
When using scaling, you change a quantity from one notation to another.
To scale a channel, choose two points along the module's operating range and
apply corresponding low and high unit values to those points.
Scaling lets you configure the module to return data to the controller in units that
match the quantity being measured. For example, the analog input module can
provide the temperature in degrees Celsius or the pressure in mbar. An analog
output module might have commanded values represented in % of stroke of a
valve. This makes it easier to use the values in your control program than by using
the raw signal value in mA.
Units like gallons, percent, mbar, psi, celsius, liters, and liters/minute are referred
to as Engineering Units.

IMPORTANT
Removal and Insertion
Under Power (RIUP)
Before You Begin
WARNING: When you insert or remove the module while backplane
power is on, an electrical arc can occur. This could cause an explosion in
hazardous location installations.
Be sure that power is removed or the area is nonhazardous before
proceeding. Repeated electrical arcing causes excessive wear to contacts on
both the module and its mating connector. Worn contacts may create
electrical resistance that can affect module operation.
ATTENTION: This equipment is not resistant to sunlight or other sources
of UV radiation.
Before you install your module, you should have already:
• Installed and grounded a 1756 chassis and power supply.
• Ordered and received a removable terminal block (RTB) or
1492 interface module (IFM) and its components for your application.
Module Accessories
These modules mount in a ControlLogix chassis and use a separately-ordered
removable terminal block (RTB) or a 1492 interface module (IFM) to connect all
field-side wiring.
The ControlLogix HART analog modules use one of the following RTBs and
support these IFMs.

ControlLogix Module Operation
Chapter
3
Introduction
Every I/O module in the ControlLogix system must be owned by a ControlLogix
controller. This owner-controller stores configuration data for every module that
it owns and can be located locally or remotely, relative to the I/O module’s
position. The owner sends the I/O module configuration data to define the
module’s behavior and begin operation within the control system. Each
ControlLogix I/O module must continuously maintain communication with its
owner to operate normally.
Typically, each module in the system has only one owner. Input modules can have
more than one owner. Output modules are limited to a single owner.
By using the Producer/Consumer model, ControlLogix I/O modules can
produce data without having been polled by a controller first. The modules
produce the data and any owner or listen-only controller device can consume it.
For example, an input module produces data and any number of controllers can
consume the data at the same time. This eliminates the need for one controller to
send the data to another controller.
The table explains the topics discussed in this chapter.

Chapter 3 ControlLogix Module Operation
Direct Connections
A direct connection is a real-time data transfer link between the controller and
the device that occupies the slot that the configuration data references.
ControlLogix analog I/O modules use direct connections only.
When module configuration data is downloaded to an owner-controller, the
controller attempts to establish a direct connection to each of the modules the
data references.
If a controller has configuration data referencing a slot in the control system, the
controller periodically checks for the presence of a device there. When a device’s
presence is first detected, the controller automatically sends the configuration
data and one of the following events occurs:
• If the data is appropriate to the module found in the slot, a connection is
made and operation begins.
• If the configuration data is not appropriate, the data is rejected and an error
code displays in the software. For example, a module’s configuration data
can be appropriate except for a mismatch in electronic keying that prevents
normal operation. For more information about error codes, see Module
Configuration Errors on page 160.
The controller maintains and monitors its connection with a module. Any break
in the connection, such as removal of the module from the chassis while under
power, causes the controller to set fault status bits in the data area associated with
the module. You can use ladder logic to monitor this data area and detect module
failures.
Input Module Operation
40Rockwell Automation Publication 1756-UM533C-EN-P - February 2011
In the ControlLogix system, the owner-controller does not poll analog input
modules after a connection is established. The modules multicast their data
periodically. Multicast frequency depends on the options chosen during
configuration and where in the control system that input module physically
resides.
An input module’s communication, or multicasting, behavior varies depending
upon whether it operates in the local chassis or in a remote chassis, based on the
network type. The following sections detail the differences in data transfers
between these setups.

Input Modules in a Local
Chassis
When a module resides in the same chassis as the owner-controller, the following
configuration parameters affect how and when the input module multicasts data:
• Real-time sample
• Requested packet interval
Real Time Sample (RTS)
This configurable parameter instructs the module to perform the following
operations:
• Scan all of its input channels and store the data into on-board memory.
• Multicast the updated channel data (as well as other status data) to the
backplane of the local chassis.
The real time sample value is set during the initial configuration
using RSLogix 5000 software. This value can be adjusted

IMPORTANT
Requested Packet Interval (RPI)
This configurable parameter also instructs the module to multicast its channel
and status data to the local chassis backplane.
The requested packet interval instructs the module to multicast the current contents of its on-board memory when the requested packet interval expires (the
module does not update its channels prior to the multicast).
Figure 2 -
The requested packet interval value is set during the initial
module configuration using RSLogix 5000 software. This value
can be adjusted when the controller is in Program mode.
If the real time sample value is less than or equal to the requested packet interval,
each multicast of data from the module has updated channel information. In
effect, the module is only multicasting at the real time sample rate.
If the real time sample value is greater than the requested packet interval, the
module multicasts at both the real time sample rate and the requested packet
interval rate. Their respective values dictate how often the owner-controller
receives data and how many multicasts from the module contain updated channel
data.

In the example below, the real time sample value is 100 ms and the requested
packet interval value is 25 ms. Only every fourth multicast from the module
contains updated channel data.
Trigger Event Tasks
When configured to do so, ControlLogix analog input modules can trigger an
event task. The event task offers ControlLogix controller users a task that
executes a section of logic immediately when an event (receipt of new data)
occurs.
Your ControlLogix analog I/O module can trigger event tasks every real time
sample, after the module has sampled and multicast its data. Events tasks are
useful for synchronizing process variable (PV) samples and proportional integral
derivative (PID) calculations.
ControlLogix analog I/O modules can trigger event tasks at
every real time sample, but not at the requested packet
interval. For example, in the figure, an event task can be only
triggered every 100 ms.

Input Module in Remote Chassis with Requested Packet Interval Reserving Spot in Flow of Data
40947
Input Modules in a
Remote Chassis
If an input module resides in a remote chassis, the role of the requested packet
interval and the module’s real time sample behavior change slightly with respect
to getting data to the owner-controller, depending on what network type you are
using to connect to the modules.
Remote Input Modules Connected Via ControlNet Network
When remote analog I/O modules are connected to the owner-controller via a
scheduled ControlNet network, the requested packet interval and real time
sample intervals still define when the module multicasts data within its own chassis. However, only the value of the requested packet interval determines how
often the owner-controller receives it over the network.
When an requested packet interval value is specified for an input module in a
remote chassis connected by a scheduled ControlNet network, in addition to
instructing the module to multicast data within its own chassis, the requested
packet interval also reserves a spot in the stream of data flowing across the
ControlNet network.
The timing of this reserved spot does not coincide with the exact value of the
requested packet interval, but the control system guarantees that the ownercontroller receives data at least as often as the specified requested packet interval.
The reserved spot on the network and the module’s real time sample are
asynchronous to each other. This means there are best and worst case scenarios as
to when the owner-controller receives updated channel data from the module in a
networked chassis.
44Rockwell Automation Publication 1756-UM533C-EN-P - February 2011
ControlLogix Module Operation Chapter 3
TIP
Best Case Scenario - Real Time Sample
In the best case scenario, the module performs a real time sample multicast with
updated channel data just before the reserved network slot is made available. In
this case, the remotely-located owner-controller receives the data almost
immediately.
Worst Case Scenario - Real Time Sample
In the worst case scenario, the module performs a real time sample multicast just
after the reserved network slot has passed. In this case, the owner-controller does
not receive updated data until the next scheduled network slot.
Because it is the requested packet interval and not the real time sample that
dictates when the module’s data is sent over the network, we recommend the
requested packet interval value be set less than or equal to the real time sample to
make sure that updated channel data is received by the owner-controller with
each receipt of data.
Remote Input Modules Connected Via EtherNet/IP Network
When remote analog input modules are connected to the owner-controller via an
EtherNet/IP network, data is transferred to the owner-controller in the following
way:
• At the RTS or RPI (whichever is faster), the module broadcasts data
within its own chassis.
• The 1756 Ethernet bridge module in the remote chassis immediately
sends the module’s data over the network to the owner-controller as
long it has not sent data within a time frame that is one-quarter the
value of the analog input module’s RPI.
For example, if an analog input module uses an RPI = 100 ms, the
Ethernet module sends module data immediately on receiving it if
another data packet was not sent within the last 25 ms.
The Ethernet module will either multicast the module’s data to all
devices on the network or unicast to a specific owner-controller
depending on the setting of the Unicast box, as shown on page 93

Output Module Operation
The requested packet interval parameter governs exactly when an analog output
module receives data from the owner-controller and when the output module
echoes data. An owner-controller sends data to an analog output module at the period specified in the requested packet interval. Data is not sent to the
module at the end of the controller’s program scan.
When an analog output module receives new data from an owner-controller
(every requested packet interval), the module automatically multicasts or echoes
a data value that corresponds to the analog signal present at the output terminals
to the rest of the control system. This feature, called Output Data Echo, occurs
whether the output module is local or remote.
If the output module is not responding according to how it has been
programmed, it could be for one of the following reasons:
• The commanded value falls outside the Configured Limits and is thus
being clamped.
• The commanded value changed faster than the configured max Rate
Limit, and is being clamped.
• The module is in Start-up Hold mode, following a connection break or
Run mode transition waiting for the control system to synchronize
with the prevailing setting to facilitate a bumpless startup.
Depending on the value of the requested packet interval, with respect to the
length of the controller program scan, the output module can receive and echo
data multiple times during one program scan.
Output Modules in a
Local Chassis
When the requested packet interval is less than the program scan length, the
controller effectively lets the module’s output channels change values multiple
times during a single program scan because the output module is not dependent
on reaching the end of the program to send data.
When specifying a requested packet interval value for an analog output module,
you instruct the controller when to broadcast the output data to the module. If
the module resides in the same chassis as the owner-controller, the module
receives the data almost immediately after the controller sends it.

If an output module resides in a remote chassis, the role of the requested packet

depending on what network type you are using to connect to the modules.
Remote Output Modules Connected Via ControlNet Network
When remote analog output modules are connected to the owner-controller via a

multicast the output data within its own chassis, the requested packet interval
also reserves a spot in the stream of data flowing across the ControlNet network.

The reserved spot on the network and when the controller sends the output data
are asynchronous to each other. This means there are best and worst case
scenarios as to when the module receives the output data from the controller in a
networked chassis.

IMPORTANT
Best Case Scenario - Requested Packet Interval
In the best case scenario, the controller sends the output data just before the
reserved network slot is available. In this case, the remotely located output
module receives the data almost immediately.
Worst Case Scenario - Requested Packet Interval
In the worst case scenario, the controller sends the data just after the reserved
network slot has passed. In this case, the module does not receive the data until
the next scheduled network slot.
These best and worst case scenarios indicate the time required
for output data to transfer from the controller to the module once
the controller has produced it.
The scenarios do not take into account when the module will
receive new data (updated by the user program) from the
controller. That is a function of the length of the user program and
its asynchronous relationship with the requested protocol interval.
Remote Output Modules Connected Via EtherNet/IP Network
When remote analog output modules are connected to the owner-controller via
an EtherNet/IP network, the controller multicasts data in the following way:
• At the RPI, the owner-controller multicasts data within its own chassis.
• The 1756-ENBT module in the local chassis immediately sends the data
over the network to the analog output module as long as it has not sent
data within a time frame that is 1/4 the value of the analog module’s
requested protocol interval.

Listen-only Mode
Any controller in the system can listen to the data from any I/O module (that is,
input data or ‘echoed’ output data) even if the controller does not own the
module. In other words, the controller does not have to own a module’s
configuration data to listen to it.
During the I/O configuration process, you can specify a ‘Listen-Only’ mode in
the Connection box of the Module Definition section on the Module Properties
dialog box. See page 91
for more details.
Choosing a ‘Listen-Only’ mode option lets the controller and module establish
communication without the controller sending any configuration data. In this
instance, another controller owns the module being listened to.
If a ‘Listen-Only’ connection is being used by any controller to the
module, any connections over the Ethernet network cannot use the
Unicast option. See the Unicast box on page 93
.
The ‘Listen-Only’ controller continues to receive multicast data
from the I/O module as long as a connection between an
owner-controller and I/O module is maintained.
If the connection between all owner-controllers and the module is
broken, the module stops multicasting data and connections to all
Listening controllers are also broken.
Multiple Owners of Input
Modules
Because listening controllers lose their connections to modules when
communication with the owner stop, the ControlLogix system lets you define
more than one owner for input modules.
Only input modules can have multiple owners. If multiple owners
are connected to the same input module, they must maintain
identical configuration for that module.
In the example, Controller A and Controller B have both been configured to be
the owner of the input module.
Figure 3 - Multiple Owners with Identical Configuration Data
Rockwell Automation Publication 1756-UM533C-EN-P - February 201149
Chapter 3 ControlLogix Module Operation
When multiple controllers are configured to own the same input module, the
following events occur:
• When the controllers begin downloading configuration data, both try to
establish a connection with the input module.
• Whichever controller’s data arrives first establishes a connection.
• When the second controller’s data arrives, the module compares it to its
current configuration data (the data received and accepted from the first
controller).
– If the configuration data sent by the second controller matches the
configuration data sent by the first controller the connection is also
accepted.
– If any parameter of the second configuration data is different from the
first, the module rejects the connection; RSLogix 5000 software alerts
you to the rejected connection through an error message.
The advantage of multiple owners over a Listen-only connection is that now
either of the controllers can lose the connection to the module and the module
continues to operate and multicast data to the system because of the connection
maintained by the other owner-controller.

IMPORTANT
Configuration Changes in
an Input Module with
Multiple Owners
You must be careful when changing an input module’s configuration data in a
multiple owner scenario. When the configuration data is changed in one of the
owners, for example, Controller A, and sent to the module, that configuration
data is accepted as the new configuration for the module. Controller B continues
to listen, unaware that any changes were made in the module’s behavior.
A dialog box in RSLogix 5000 software alerts you to the possibility of a
multiple owner situation and lets you inhibit the connection before
changing the module’s configuration. When changing configuration for a
module with multiple owners, we recommend the connection be
inhibited.
To prevent other owners from receiving potentially erroneous data, you
must follow these steps when changing a module’s configuration in a
multiple owner scenario while online:
• For each owner-controller, inhibit the controller’s connection to the
module, either in the software on the Connection tab or the dialog
box warning of the multiple owner condition.
• Make the appropriate configuration data changes in the software, as
described in the RSLogix 5000 software section of this manual.
• Repeat steps 1 and 2 for all owner-controllers, making the same
changes in all controllers.
• Disable the Inhibit box in each owner’s configuration.

Some facilities block multicast Ethernet packets as part of their network
administration policy. You can configure multicast or unicast connections for
I/O modules by using RSLogix 5000 software, version 18 or later.
Unicast connections do the following:
• Allow I/O communication to span multiple subnets
• Reduce network bandwith
• Simplify Ethernet switch configuration

Data Formats
Data format determines which values are included in the Input tag of the module
and the features that are available to your application. Select the data format on
the General tab in RSLogix 5000 software. The following data formats are
available for the 1756-IF8H module.

• Choose Analog and HART PV if you prefer the members of your tag to be
arranged similar to non-HART analog input modules, with the analog
values for all channels grouped together near the end of the tag. This makes
it easy to view all eight analog values at once.
• Choose Analog and HART by Channel if you prefer Status, Analog Value,
and Device Status for each channel to be together in the tag. This makes it
easier to view all of the data related to one field device.

Input Ranges
You can select from a series of operational ranges for each channel on the module.
The range designates the minimum and maximum signals that are detectable by
the module. Possible ranges include the following:
• -10…10V
• 0…5V
• 0…10V
• 0…20 mA
• 4…20 mA (HART instruments use this range.)

Module Filter
The module filter attenuates the input signal beginning at the specified
frequency. This feature is applied on a module-wide basis, affecting all channels.
The module attenuates the selected frequency by approximately -3 dB or 0.707 of
the applied amplitude. An input signal with frequencies above the selected
frequency is attenuated more while frequencies below the selection receive
no attenuation.
In addition to frequency rejection, a by-product of the filter selection is the
minimum sample rate (RTS) that is available. For example, the 1000 Hz selection
does not attenuate any frequencies less than 1000 Hz, and provides for sampling
of all 16 channels within 18 ms. The 10 Hz selection attenuates all frequencies
above 10 Hz and provides only for sampling all 16 channels within 488 ms.
60 Hz is the default setting for the module filter. Do not use the 1000 Hz
module filter with HART instruments.
Use the following table to choose a module filter setting.

Rockwell Automation Publication 1756-UM533C-EN-P - February 201155
Chapter 4 1756-IF8H HART Analog Input Module
Real Time Sampling
This parameter instructs the module how often to scan its input channels and
obtain all available data. After the channels are scanned, the module multicasts
that data. This feature is applied on a module-wide basis.
During module configuration, you specify a real time sampling (RTS) period and
a requested packet interval (RPI) period. Both of these features instruct the
module to multicast data, but only the RTS feature instructs the module to scan
its channels before multicasting.
For more RTS information, see Real Time Sample (RTS) on page 41
.
Underrange and Overrange Detection
The module detects when it is operating beyond limits of the input range. This
status indication tells you that the input signal is not being measured accurately
because the signal is beyond the measuring capability of the module. For example,
the module cannot distinguish between 10.25V and 20V.
The following table shows the input ranges of the 1756-IF8H module and the
lowest and highest signal available in each range before the module detects an
underrange and overrange condition.

Digital Filter
The digital filter smooths input data noise transients. This feature is applied on a
per channel basis.
The digital filter value specifies the time constant for a digital first order lag filter
on the input. It is specified in units of milliseconds. A value of 0 disables the filter.
The digital filter equation is a classic first order lag equation.
Using a step input change to illustrate the filter response, as shown in the figure,
you can see that when the digital filter time constant elapses, 63.2% of the total
response is reached. Each additional time constant achieves 63.2% of the
remaining response.

Process Alarms
Process alarms alert you when the module has exceeded configured high or low
thresholds for each channel. You can latch process alarms. These are set at the
following configurable alarm trigger points:
• High high
• High
• Low
• Low low
The values for each limit are entered in scaled engineering units.
Alarm Deadband
You can configure an alarm deadband to work with the process alarms. The
deadband lets the process alarm status bit remain set, despite the alarm condition
disappearing, as long as the input data remains within the deadband of the
process alarm.
The figure below shows input data that sets each of the alarms at some point
during module operation. In this example, Latching is disabled; therefore, each
alarm turns OFF when the condition that caused it to set returns to normal.

Rate Alarm
The value for the Rate Alarm Limit is entered in scaled engineering units per
second. The rate alarm triggers if the rate of change between input samples for
each channel exceeds the specified rate-alarm trigger point for that channel. Rate
Alarm uses the signal value after filtering by the Module Filter and before the
Digital Filter is applied.
Wire-off Detection
The 1756-IF8H modules alert you when a signal wire is disconnected from one
of its channels or the RTB is removed from the module. When a wire-off
condition occurs for this module, two events occur:
• Input data for that channel changes to a specific scaled value.
• A fault bit is set in the input tag, which may indicate the presence of a
wire-off condition.

The 1756-IF8H is a differential input module. However, there are limitations on
its use in Differential mode. Any time the low ends of the terminal block pins are
connected together, they must also be jumpered to the RTN pin on the terminal
block. There are two scenarios in which this happens.
First, if a single power supply is used for multiple devices, then the low end from
each channel is connected together and connected to the ground return of the
power supply. See the following diagram.
Figure 6 - Single Power Supply with Multiple HART Devices
The second way for channels to share a ground is to have multiple power supplies
hooked to the same ground. In this case the low ends of the channels are
effectively connected together by the common grounds of the power supplies.

For devices powered by individual supplies, when the ground potential of the
supplies is expected to differ, Differential mode is recommended. This prevents
ground loop currents from flowing between the supplies. However, the potential
difference allowable between the supplies must remain within the specified
limits.

Some devices, such as AC powered four-wire devices, are recommended to be
used in Differential mode only. It is best if differential and single-ended
types are not combined onto the same terminal block, that is, all should be
single-ended or all should be differential.

Module Filter
The module filter attenuates the input signal beginning at the specified
frequency. This feature is applied on a module-wide basis, affecting all channels.
The module attenuates the selected frequency by approximately -3 dB or 0.707 of
the applied amplitude.
An input signal with frequencies above the selected frequency is attenuated more
while frequencies below the selection receive no attenuation.
In addition to frequency rejection, a by-product of the filter selection is the
minimum sample rate (RTS) that is available. For example, the 1000 Hz selection
does not attenuate any frequencies less than 1000 Hz, and provides for sampling
of all 16 channels within 18 ms. The 15 Hz selection attenuates all frequencies
above 15 Hz and provides only for sampling all 16 channels within 328 ms.
Do not use the 1000 Hz module filter with HART instruments.
60 Hz is the default setting for the module filter. This setting provides
approximately 3 dB of attenuation of a 60 Hz input.
Use the following table to choose a module filter setting.

Real Time Sampling (RTS)
This parameter instructs the module how often to scan its input channels and
obtain all available data. After the channels are scanned, the module multicasts
that data. This feature is applied on a module-wide basis.
During module configuration, you specify a real time sampling (RTS) period and
a requested packet interval (RPI) period. Both of these features instruct the
module to multicast data, but only the RTS feature instructs the module to scan
its channels before multicasting.
Underrange and Overrange Detection
The module detects when it is operating beyond limits of the input range. This
status indication tells you that the input signal is not being measured accurately
because the signal is beyond the measuring capability of the module. For example,
the module cannot distinguish between 20.5 mA and 22 mA
The following table shows the input ranges of the 1756-IF16H module and the
lowest and highest signal available in each range before the module detects an
underrange and overrange condition.

Digital Filter
The digital filter smooths input data noise transients. This feature is applied on a
per channel basis.
The digital filter value specifies the time constant for a digital first order lag filter
on the input. It is specified in units of milliseconds. A value of 0 disables the filter.
The digital filter equation is a classic first order lag equation.
Using a step input change to illustrate the filter response, as shown in the figure,
you can see that when the digital filter time constant elapses, 63.2% of the total
response is reached. Each additional time constant achieves 63.2% of the
remaining response.

The 1756-IF16H module alerts you when a signal wire is disconnected from one
of its channels or the RTB is removed from the module if the channel is
configured for 4…20 mA range. When a wire-off condition occurs for this
module, two events occur:
• Input data for that channel changes to the scaled value corresponding to
the Underrange condition.
• A fault bit is set in the input tag (ChxxUnderrange and ChxxBrokenWire
tags are set to 1), which may indicate the presence of a wire-off condition.

The 1756-IF16H is a differential input module. However there are limitations on
its use in differential mode. Any time the low ends of the terminal block pins are
connected together they must also be jumpered to the RTN pin on the terminal
block. There are two scenarios in which this happens.
First, if a single power supply is used for multiple devices then the low end from
each channel is connected together and connected to the ground return of the
power supply. See the following diagram.
Figure 13 - Single Power Supply with Multiple HART Devices
Rockwell Automation Publication 1756-UM533C-EN-P - February 201173
The second way for channels to share a ground is to have multiple power supplies
hooked to the same ground. In this case the low ends of the channels are
effectively connected together by the common grounds of the power supplies.

For devices powered by individual supplies, when the ground potential of the
supplies is expected to differ, differential mode is recommended. This prevents
ground loop currents from flowing between the supplies. However, the potential
difference allowable between the supplies must remain within the specified
limits.

Some devices ,such as AC powered four wire devices, are recommended to be
used in differential mode only. Combinations of differential and single-ended
configurations are allowed but care must be taken to insure that the differential
input grounds really are isolated from the single-ended inputs.

The 1756-IF16H module sends status/fault data to the controller with its
channel data. The fault data is arranged to let you choose the level of granularity
you desire for examining fault conditions. Three levels of tags work together to
provide an increasing degree of detail as to the specific cause of faults on the
module.

1756-IF16H Module Fault Word Bits
Bits in this word provide the highest level of fault detection. A nonzero condition
in this word reveals that a fault exists on the module. You can examine further to
isolate the fault. Ta b l e 1 3
lists tags that can be examined in ladder logic to
indicate when a fault has occurred.

Analog Group FaultThis bit is set when any bits in the Channel Fault word are set. Its tag name is AnalogGroupFault.
Calibration FaultThis bit is set when any of the individual Channel Calibration Fault bits are set. Its tag name is CalFault.
1756-IF16H Channel Fault Tags
During normal module operation, bits in the Channel Fault word are set if any of
the respective channels has an Under or Overrange condition. Checking this
word for a nonzero value is a quick way to check for Under or Overrange
conditions on the module.
Channel Fault bits for all channels are also set (16#FFFF) if calibration is being
performed or a communication fault has occurred between the module and its
owner controller.

Ramping/Rate Limiting
Ramping limits the speed at which an analog output signal can change. This
prevents fast transitions in the output from damaging the devices that an output
module controls. Ramping is also known as rate limiting.

the rate at which the output changes from one commanded value
to another.
Program mode. The present output value changes to the Program Value.
If the connection to the module is inhibited, the Program mode value
and ramp rate are applied.
controller fault. The output signal changes to the fault value after a
communication fault occurs.
The maximum rate of change in outputs is expressed in engineering units per
second and called the maximum ramp rate.
For additional information about ramp rate, see Chapter 7
, Configuring the
Modules, which describes how you can set Ramp Rate on the output Limits
dialog box.
Hold for Initialization
Hold for Initialization causes outputs to hold present state until the value
commanded by the controller matches the value at the output terminal within
0.1% of full scale, providing a bumpless transfer.
If Hold for Initialization is selected, outputs hold if any of these conditions occur:
• Initial connection is established after powerup.
• A new connection is established after a communication fault occurs.
• There is a transition to Run mode from Program state.
The ChxInHold bit for a channel indicates that the channel is holding.
Rockwell Automation Publication 1756-UM533C-EN-P - February 201181
Chapter 6 1756-OF8H HART Analog Output Module
Open Wire Detection
This feature detects when current flow is not present at any channel. The
1756-OF8H module must be configured for 0…20 mA or
4…20 mA operation to use this feature. At least 0.1 mA of current must be
flowing from the output for detection to occur.
When an open wire condition occurs at any channel, a status bit named
ChxOpenWire is set for that channel.
Clamping and Limiting
Clamping limits the output from the analog module to remain within a range
configured by the controller, even when the controller commands an output
outside that range. This safety feature sets a high clamp and a low clamp.
Once clamps are set for a channel, any data received from the controller that
exceeds those clamps sets a limit alarm and transitions the output to that limit but
not beyond the configured clamp value. For example, an application may set the
high clamp on a module for 8V and the low clamp for -8V. If a controller sends a
value corresponding to 9V to the module, the module will only apply 8V to its
screw terminals. The signal value actually applied is reflected in the Input Tag
ChxData field.
Clamping limits are entered in engineering units.
Clamp and Limit Alarms
This function works directly with clamping. When a module receives a data value
from the controller that exceeds clamping limits, it applies the clamping limit to
the signal value and sends a status bit to the controller, notifying it that the
commanded output data value exceeds the clamping limits.
Using the example, if a channel has clamping limits of 8V and -8V but then
receives data to apply 9V, only 8V is applied to the screw terminals and the
module sends a status bit back to the controller informing it that the 9V value
exceeds the channel’s clamping limits.
Clamping alarms can be disabled or latched on a per channel basis. Clamping
limits are entered in engineering units.
82Rockwell Automation Publication 1756-UM533C-EN-P - February 2011
1756-OF8H HART Analog Output Module Chapter 6
44224
Data Echo
Data Echo automatically multicasts channel data values that match the analog
value that was applied to the module’s screw terminals at that time.
Fault and status data are also sent. If selected in the Input Data format, HART
secondary process variables and device health are also sent.
An example is that I.ChxData is the echo of O.ChxData. They might be different
due to Ramp, Clamp, or Hold for Initialization.
The echo value is the current level being attempted. If the wire is off or damaged,
the actual current might be 0.
Wire the Module
Use Figure 17 to wire the module. Voltage outputs use the terminal block pins
labelled VOUT-# and RTN. Current outputs use the terminal block pins labelled
IOUT-# and RTN.
HART communication is active with current outputs only.

Your logic should monitor the Channel Fault bit for a particular output, if you
either enable output clamping, if you are checking for an open wire condition
(0…20 mA configuration only), or if you need to know if the output module is
not communicating with the controller.
Your logic can use the bit in Channel Faults, for example, Ch2Fault, to take
failure recovery action, such as signaling CVFault on a PIDE function block.

Even if you are not enabling HART on all channels, the Analog and HART PV
input tag includes space for the data, but it will be marked with a HARTFault to
indicate it is not valid. This lets you add HART instruments later without
disturbing the tag layout.

• Input range must be 0…20 mA or 4…20 mA.
• When a channel is not enabled:
– HART messages are not sent on this channel.
– HART pass-through messages are not sent.
– HART data for this channel is not updated in the input tag.
• If you select a HART PV or HART by Channel input tag on the General tab,
process data (PV, SV, TV, and FV) from the HART instrument is included in
the input tag. If you selected Analog only, the additional process data is
not included in the input tag.
• Regardless of the choice of input tag, HART communication can be
enabled for each channel to provide pass-through HART message access.
If Enable HART is not checked, this pass-through message access is
not available.
• We recommend you Enable HART for any channel that has a HART device
connected so that information can be displayed on the HART Device Info
tab and accessed by AssetCentre.
• You can check Enable HART on some channels and not on others if only
some channels have HART field devices attached.
• Because the HART modem is shared by all the channels, HART response
time is better if you enable only the needed HART channels on the
8-channel modules.
See Scaling to Engineering Units on page 98 for more information.No
0…20 mA or 4…20 mA is required for HART.No
• The default value is 0.00.
• The offset value is in engineering units.
• The Sensor Offset is added to the data value to determine signal level.
This field is a first-order lag filter that smooths input transitions. It is called a
digital filter because it is calculated in the software by the module, not by a
hardware filter. The digital filter is applied to each channel individually, but
the module filter applies to all channels, so each channel can have a different
digital filter setting to accommodate the specific device attached to
that channel.

Chapter 7 Configure the Modules with RSLogix 5000 Software
Scaling to Engineering Units
Channel data values in the output tag can be in engineering units such as kg, m,
or percent. To configure the relationship between engineering units and the
physical signal in volts or mA, set the Low and High Signal and the Low and
High Engineering values.
For example, if you have a temperature transmitter on channel 3 that produces
4 mA current at -180 °C (-292 °F) and 20 mA of current at 750 °C (1,382 °F),
and you want to use °C in your control program, then configure the values as in
the following table.
High20750
Low4-180
If you are using HART field devices, we recommend setting Engineering High
and Low to the field device's Upper Range Value and Lower Range Value so that
the field device uses the same engineering units as the 1756-IF8H module. If
online, these values are displayed on the HART Device Info tab.
SignalEngineering
See the Scaling Example on page 99
for more information.
Scaling High and Low Signal
Set the High and Low Signal values for the module. The High Signal value must
be greater than the Low Signal value. See the following table for the bounds of
these signals.
Set the High Engineering value for the module. The High Engineering value
must not equal the Low Engineering value. This is the value in engineering units
that corresponds with a signal value equal to the High signal.
Valid values are in the range of -10,000,000…100,000,000. The default value
is 100.00.
Scaling High Engineering appears dimmed in Hard Run mode.
98Rockwell Automation Publication 1756-UM533C-EN-P - February 2011
Configure the Modules with RSLogix 5000 Software Chapter 7
Scaling Low Engineering
Set the Low Engineering value for the module. The Low Engineering value must
not equal the High Engineering value. This is the value in engineering units that
corresponds with a signal value equal to the Low signal.
Valid values are in the range of -10,000,000…100,000,000. The default value
is 0.00.
Scaling Example
If you would like the module to tell you how full a tank is, you configure the
scaling to give you 0% when the tank is empty and 100% when the tank is full.
Suppose your sensor that measures the tank signals 4.5 mA when the tank is
empty and 17 mA when the tank is full. You would configure scaling like this:
Rockwell Automation Publication 1756-UM533C-EN-P - February 201199
Chapter 7 Configure the Modules with RSLogix 5000 Software
This sets up a relationship between the electrical signal generated by your tank
gauge and the number sent to the Logix Controller for use in your control system.
Graphically, this relationship looks like this:
Note that the module can measure signals slightly higher and lower than the
sensor will provide for this tank. Setting the High or Low Engineering Units will
not limit the values to within that range. The module will still measure signals all
the way from 4…20 mA. In this example, if the module senses 20 mA, it will
report the tank is 124% full. A signal of 0 mA will be reported as -4% full, or
‘less than empty’.
To have the tank level reported in liters instead of percent, put the capacity of the
tank as the High Engineering value. If you have a 750 liter tank, in the example
above put 750 instead of 100, and you will get the scaling relationship shown by
this graph:
