How to Use Analog I/O Data

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 controller 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 controller modifies the

output to close the valve 90%, 80%, and so on, continuously adjusting the

valve to maintain the fluid level.

1-2 Overview

General Description

The 1769-IF4I isolated analog input module converts and digitally stores analog data for retrieval by controllers, such as the CompactLogix controller or the MicroLogix 1500 controller. The module supports connections from any combination of as many as four voltage or current analog sensors. The 1769-IF4I input module provides four, isolated-differential analog input channels.

The 1769-OF4CI and -OF4VI isolated output modules each provide four, isolated differential analog output channels.

The modules provide the following input/output types/ranges:

Table 1.1 Normal and Full Ranges

Normal Operating Input Range	Full Module Range
±10V dc	± 10.5V dc
1…5V dc	0.5…5.25V dc
0…5V dc	-0.5…+5.25V dc
0…10V dc	-0.5…+10.5V dc
0…20 mA	0…21 mA
4…20 mA	3.2…21 mA

The data can be configured on board each module as:

scaled-for-PID.

percent.

raw/proportional data.

Hardware Features

The modules contain removable terminal blocks. The modules’ channels are isolated from each other and are normally wired as differential inputs or outputs. Single-ended applications can be supported by wiring the negative terminal of each channel to the other channel’s negative terminals; however, this eliminates the channel-to-channel isolation provided by the modules.

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.

1-4 Overview

General Diagnostic Features

System Overview

The analog modules contain diagnostic features that can help you identify the source of problems that may occur when cycling power or during normal channel operation.

These power cycle and channel diagnostics are explained in chapter 5.

The modules communicate to the controller through the bus interface. The modules also receive 5 and 24V dc power through the bus interface.

You can install as many analog modules as your power supply can support. However, the modules may not be located more than eight modules away from the system power supply.

Overview 1-5

System Operation

When you cycle power, the module performs a check of its internal circuits, memory, and basic functions. During this time, the module status OK LED remains off. If no faults are found during power-cycle diagnostics, the module status OK LED is turned on.

After power-cycle 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.

Each time a channel is read by the input module, that analog data value is tested by the module for an over-range or under-range condition. If any of these conditions are detected, unique bits are set in the channel status word.

The channel status word is described in the 1769-IF4I Input Data File on page 3-3.

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 can also clamp the outputs at designated levels (if enabled by the user program). If such conditions are detected, a unique bit is set in the channel status word.

The channel status word is described in the 1769-OF4CI and -OF4VI Output Data File on page 4-3.

The output modules receive 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.

Publication 1769-UM014B-EN-P - May 2010

2-4 Installation and Wiring

Remove Power

				Remove power before removing or inserting this module.
	ATTENTION
				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.

Reduce 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 module. 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.

Protect the Circuit Board from Contamination

System Assembly

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.

The module can be attached to the controller or an adjacent I/O module before or after mounting.

Panel Mount

Mount the module to a panel using two screws per module. Use M4 or #8 panhead screws. Mounting screws are required on every module.

Figure 2.3 Panel Mounting Using the Dimensional Template

Spacing for single-wide modules 35 mm (1.378 in.).

Spacing for one-and-a-halfMounting-wide modules 52.5 mm (2.067 in.).

Refer to host controller documentation for this dimension.

Overall hole spacing tolerance: ±0.4 mm (0.016 in.).

Locate holes every 17.5 mm (0.689 in.) to allow for a mix of single-wide and one-and-a-half-wide modules (for example, the 1769-OA16 module).

Host Controller

Panel Mounting Procedure Using Modules as a Template

The following procedure allows you to use the assembled modules as a template for drilling holes in the panel. If you have sophisticated panel-mounting equipment, you can use the dimensional template provided. Due to module mounting hole tolerance, it is important to follow these procedures.

1.On a clean work surface, assemble no more than three modules.

2.Using the assembled modules as a template, carefully mark the center of all module-mounting holes on the panel.

3.Return the assembled modules to the clean work surface, including any previously mounted modules.

4.Drill and tap the mounting holes for the recommended M4 or #8 screw.

5.Place the modules back on the panel, and check for proper hole alignment.

6.Attach the modules to the panel using the mounting screws.

		If mounting more modules, mount only the last one of this
	TIP
		group and put the others aside. This reduces remounting
		time during drilling and tapping of the next group.

7. Repeat steps 1 to 6 for any remaining modules.

The module can be mounted using the following DIN rails:

35 x 7.5 mm (EN 50 022 - 35 x 7.5) or 35 x 15 mm (EN 50 022 - 35 x 15).

Before mounting the module on a DIN rail, close the DIN rail latches. Press the DIN rail mounting area of the module against the DIN rail. The latches will momentarily open and lock into place.

The module can be replaced while the system is mounted to a panel (or DIN rail). Follow these steps in order:

1. Remove power.

				Remove power before removing or inserting this module.
	ATTENTION
				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.

2.On the module to be removed, remove the upper and lower mounting screws from the module (or open the DIN latches using a flat-blade or Phillips screwdriver).

3.Move the bus lever to the right to disconnect (unlock) the bus.

4.On the right-side adjacent module, move its bus lever to the right (unlock) to disconnect it from the module to be removed.

5.Gently slide the disconnected module forward. If you feel excessive resistance, check that the module has been disconnected from the bus, and that both mounting screws have been removed (or DIN latches opened).

		It may be necessary to rock the module slightly from front
	TIP
		to back to remove it, or, in a panel-mounted system, to
		loosen the screws of adjacent modules.

6.Before installing the replacement module, be sure that the bus lever on the module to be installed and on the right-side adjacent module are in the unlocked (fully right) position.

7.Slide the replacement module into the open slot.

8.Connect the modules together by locking (fully left) the bus levers on the replacement module and the right-side adjacent module.

9.Replace the mounting screws (or snap the module onto the DIN rail).

Field Wiring Connections

Use the following information to properly make field wiring connections.

Ground

This product is intended to be mounted to a well-grounded mounting surface such as a metal panel. Additional grounding connections from the module’s mounting tabs or DIN rail (if used) are not required unless the mounting surface cannot be grounded. Refer to Allen-Bradley Industrial Automation Wiring and Grounding Guidelines, publication 1770-4.1, for additional information.

Publication 1769-UM014B-EN-P - May 2010

2-10 Installation and Wiring

System Wiring Guidelines

Consider the following when wiring your system.

General Guidelines

Channels are isolated from each other.

Do not use the analog module’s NC terminals as connection points.

To ensure optimum accuracy, limit overall cable impedance by keeping your cable as short as possible. Locate the I/O system as close to your sensors or actuators as your application will permit.

Use Belden 8761, or equivalent, shielded wire.

Keep shield connection to ground as short as possible.

Under normal conditions, the drain wire and shield junction must be connected to earth ground via a panel or DIN rail mounting screw at the analog I/O module end.(1)

(1)In environments where high-frequency noise may be present, it may be necessary to directly ground cable shields to earth at the module end and via a 0.1µF capacitor at the sensor end.

Publication 1769-UM014B-EN-P - May 2010

Installation and Wiring	2-11

1769-IF4I Input Module Guidelines

If multiple power supplies are used with analog inputs, the power supply commons must be kept at potentials that do not result in the module’s working voltage rating being exceeded.

The 1769-IF4I module does not provide loop power for analog inputs. Use power supplies that match the input transmitter specifications.

Differential analog inputs are more immune to noise than single-ended analog inputs.

Voltages on Ch+, Ch-, and Ch_IRtn for a single, isolated channel of the 1769-IF4I module must not exceed the module’s maximum overload levels.

1769-IF4I channels used as current inputs require a jumper to be placed between a channel’s CH_IRtn and Chterminals.

1769-OF4CI and -OF4VI Output Modules Guidelines

Voltage outputs (Vout 0+ to Vout 3+ for 1769-OF4VI) of the output module are referenced to each channel’s Voutterminal (channels are isolated from each other). Load resistance for a voltage output channel must be equal to or greater than 2 k .

Current outputs (Iout 0+ to Iout 3+ for 1769-OF4CI) of the output module source current that returns to each channel’s Ioutterminal (channels are isolated from each other). Load resistance for a current output channel must remain between 0 and 500 .

Effect of Transducer/Sensor and Cable Length Impedance on Voltage Input

Accuracy

For voltage inputs, the length of the cable used between the transducer/sensor and the 1769-IF4I module can affect the accuracy of the data provided by the module.

Where:

Rc = DC resistance of the cable (each conductor) depending on cable length

Rs = Source impedance of analog transducer/sensor input Ri = Impedance of the voltage input (1 M for 1769-IF4I)

Vs = Voltage source (voltage at the transducer/sensor input device) Vin = Measured potential at the module input

%Ai = Percent added inaccuracy in a voltage-based system due to source and cable impedance.

	------------------------------------------------------
	Rs + 2 Rc	+ Ri

For example, for Belden 8761 two conductor, shielded cable:

Rc = 16 /1000 ft

Rs = 0 (ideal source)

	300 (984)		15.75	0.00315%

		Vin
%Ai =	1 –	--------		100
		Vs

As input source impedance (Rs) and/or resistance (dc) of the cable (Rc) get larger, system accuracy decreases. If you determine that the inaccuracy error is significant, implementing the following equation in the control program can compensate for the added inaccuracy error due to the impedance of the source and cable.

		Vs = Vin ------------------------------------------------------Rs + 2 Rc + Ri

		In a current loop system, source and cable impedance do
	TIP
