-IF8 analog input modules and the 1769-OF2, -OF8C, and -OF8V analog
output modules. Included is information about:
the use of analog I/O

How to Use Analog I/O

Analog refers to the representation of numerical quantities by the
measurement of continuous physical variables. Analog applications are present
in many forms. The following application shows a typical use of analog data.
In this application, the processor controls the amount of fluid in a holding
tank by adjusting the valve opening. The valve is initially open 100%. As the
fluid level in the tank approaches the preset point, the processor modifies the
output to close the valve 90%, 80%, and so on, continuously adjusting the
valve to maintain the fluid level.

General Description

The 1769-IF4 and -IF8 analog input modules convert and digitally store analog
data for retrieval by controllers, such as the CompactLogix™ or MicroLogix™
1500. The module supports connections from any combination of up to four
voltage or current analog sensors for the 1769-IF4 and up to eight for the
1769-IF8. The high-impedance input channels can be wired as either
single-ended or differential inputs.
The 1769-OF2 output module provides two single-ended analog output
channels, each individually configurable for voltage or current. The
1769-OF8C and -OF8V output modules each provide eight single-ended
analog output channels.
Both modules provide the following input/output types/ranges:
The data can be configured on board each module as:

Hardware Features
The modules contain removable terminal blocks. The 1769-IF4 and -IF8
channels can be wired as either single-ended or differential inputs. The
1769-OF2, -OF8C, and -OF8V channels are single-ended only. Module
configuration is normally done via the controller’s programming software. In
addition, some controllers support configuration via the user program. In
either case, the module configuration is stored in the memory of the controller.
Refer to your controller’s user manual for more information.

General Diagnostic Features
The analog modules contain diagnostic features that can help you identify the
source of problems that may occur during power-up or during normal channel
operation. These power-up and channel diagnostics are explained in chapter 6,
Module Diagnostics and Troubleshooting.

System Overview

The modules communicate to the controller through the bus interface. The
modules also receive 5 and 24V dc power through the bus interface. The
1769-IF4, -OF2, -OF8C, and -OF8V modules feature an external 24V dc
power switch, providing you with the option of using an external power
supply. See External Power Switch on page 2-10 for details.
You can install as many analog modules as your power supply can support.
However, the modules have a power supply distance rating of 8, which means
that they may not be located more than 8 modules away from the system
power supply.

1-6 Overview
System Operation
At power-up, the module performs a check of its internal circuits, memory,
and basic functions. During this time, the module status LED remains off. If
no faults are found during power-up diagnostics, the module status LED is
turned on.
After power-up checks are complete, the module waits for valid channel
configuration data. If an invalid configuration is detected, the module
generates a configuration error. Once a channel is properly configured and
enabled, it begins the analog-to-digital or digital-to-analog conversion process.

Input Modules

Each time a channel is read by the input modules, that analog data value is
tested by the modules for an over-range or under-range condition. If such a
condition is detected, a unique bit is set in the channel status word. The
channel status word is described in 1769-IF4 Input Data File on page 3-2 and
1769-IF8 Input Data File on page 3-18.
The controller reads the two’s complement binary converted analog data from
the modules. This typically occurs at the end of the program scan or when
commanded by the control program. If the controller and the modules
determine that the bus data transfer was made without error, the data is used in
your control program.

Output Modules

The output modules monitor channels for over-range and under-range
conditions and also for broken output wires and high load resistance (in
current mode only). If such a condition is detected, a unique bit is set in the
channel status word. The channel status word is described in 1769-OF2
Output Data File on page 4-2 and 1769-OF8C and -OF8V Output Data File
on page 4-18.
The output module receives two’s complement binary values from the bus
master. This typically occurs at the end of the program scan or when
commanded by the control program. If the controller and the module
determine that the bus transfer was completed without error, the output
module converts the data to an analog output signal.

Module Operation

Input Module Block Diagram

The input module’s input circuitry consists of four differential analog inputs
multiplexed into a single analog-to-digital (A/D) converter. The
A/D converter reads the selected input signal and converts it to a digital value
which is presented to the controller. The multiplexer sequentially switches
each input channel to the module’s A/D converter.

Module Field Calibration
The 1769-IF4 and -IF8 input modules performs autocalibration when a
channel is initially enabled. In addition, if a channel is configured differently
than the previously scanned channel, an autocalibration cycle is run as part of
the reconfiguration process.
The 1769-OF2, -OF8C, and -OF8V output modules’s calibration is
guaranteed by its design. No field calibration is required.

Hazardous Location Considerations
This equipment is suitable for use in Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C, D or
non-hazardous locations only. The following WARNING statement applies to
use in hazardous locations.
Prevent Electrostatic Discharge
ATTENTION
EXPLOSION HAZARD
Substitution of components may impair suitability for
Class I, Division 2.
Do not replace components or disconnect equipment
unless power has been switched off or the area is
known to be non-hazardous.
Do not connect or disconnect components unless

Publication 1769-UM002B-EN-P - July 2005
2-4 Installation and Wiring
Remove Power
Reducing Noise
Most applications require installation in an industrial enclosure to reduce the
effects of electrical interference. Analog inputs and outputs are highly
susceptible to electrical noise. Electrical noise coupled to the analog inputs will
reduce the performance (accuracy) of the module.
Group your modules to minimize adverse effects from radiated electrical noise
and heat. Consider the following conditions when selecting a location for the
analog module. Position the module:
away from sources of electrical noise such as hard-contact switches,
relays, and AC motor drives
away from modules which generate significant radiated heat, such as the
1769-IA16. Refer to the module’s heat dissipation specification.
In addition, route shielded, twisted-pair analog input and output wiring away
from any high voltage I/O wiring.
Protecting the Circuit Board from Contamination
The printed circuit boards of the analog modules must be protected from dirt,
oil, moisture, and other airborne contaminants. To protect these boards, the
system must be installed in an enclosure suitable for the environment. The
interior of the enclosure should be kept clean and the enclosure door should
be kept closed whenever possible.

System Assembly

The module can be attached to the controller or an adjacent I/O module before
or after mounting. For mounting instructions, see Panel Mounting Using the
Dimensional Template on page 2-7, or DIN Rail Mounting on page 2-8. To
ATTENTION
Remove power before removing or inserting this module.
When you remove or insert a module with power applied,
an electrical arc may occur. An electrical arc can cause
personal injury or property damage by:
sending an erroneous signal to your system’s field
devices, causing unintended machine motion
causing an explosion in a hazardous environment
Electrical arcing causes excessive wear to contacts on
both the module and its mating connector and may lead
to premature failure.
