The CFM module is designed to operate in one of three ways:
2
as a replacement for a QRC module
Set the module operation jumper in the QRC position.
as a replacement for a QRD moduleas a CFM module
Set the module operation jumper in the QRD position.
3
Wire input and outputs to swing arm (1771WN).
Install the CFM module.
Edit your ladder logic to contain BTW and BTR instructions for the CFM module.
Edit CFM module's BTW configuration block and send configuration BTW to the CFM module.
Wire inputs to the new swing arm (1771WN).
Replace the QRC module with the CFM module.
Continue to program BTRs as before (no changes to ladder logic).
Important: If you use the CFM module as a replacement for a QRC or QRD module,
the CFM module operates like a QRC or QRD module. You do not use any of the CFM module's features; therefore, you cannot configure outputs to any of the four input channels.
Wire inputs to the new swing arm (1771WN).
Replace the QRD module with the CFM module.
Continue to program BTWs and BTRs as before (no changes to ladder logic).

What the CFM Module Does

Data T
able
User Program
Your ladder program can use or
move the data before it is written over by the transfer of new data in a subsequent transfer.
The CFM module interfaces with these PLC processors:
PLC2 processor family
PLC3 processor family
PLC5
PLC5/250
processor family
processors
PLC5/40 processor
The CFM module performs high-speed totalizing and/or rate calculation operations for various industrial applications. The CFM module is a single-slot I/O module that interfaces between an Allen-Bradley PLC processor that has block-transfer capability and external I/O devices.
1771CFM
The PLC processor transfers your
configuration data and output channel data to the CFM module using a block transfer write (BTW) instruction.
When instructed by your ladder program,
the PLC processor performs a block transfer read (BTR) of the values (count and/or frequency in binary format) and stores them in a data table.
BTW
BTR
External devices generate
input signals that are transmitted to the CFM module.
The CFM module performs
The PLC processor and CFM module
determine that the transfer was made without error.
The CFM module interfaces with:
magnetic pickup flowmeters
440V dc pulses (TTL compatible)
proximity probes
calculations on accumulated pulse counts.

The CFM module accepts input for up to four channels (mode dependent). Each of the four input channels may accept these input signals:
magnetic pickup — 50mV to 200V ac peak (optional 500mV to
200V ac peak for improved noise immunity)
4-40V dc pulses with open collector (TTL compatible)
proximity probe inputs
compatible with Bently Nevada 3300 (5mm and 8mm)
proximity transducer systems
provides two isolated 24V dc power supplies (rated at 12mA)
to power external devices
You configure the CFM module’s four input channels for your specific application(s). Each input channel has two input selections:
flowmeter input (F0F3)  you connect your input device to this input (ac, TTL)
gate input (G0G3)  accepts 440V dc input pulse from open collector or external contact closure. Used in Totalizer and Nonresettable Totalizer modes to:
store the current count of an input channel
upon impulse on gate
interface to a prover when a prover is
enabled  used to store the count as the spheroid is sensed in the prover tube

1–6 Overview of the CFM Module
Using a Prover
A prover is used for the calibration of liquid meters in custody transfer applications. This calibration is done by comparing a metered throughput to a known volume in the prover. The number of pulses accumulated (Prover Total Count Value), while the spheroid moves between two detectors, is then compared to the predetermined volume of the prover section to ascertain the meter factor.
If you are using the Totalizer or Nonresettable Totalizer mode for capturing meter counts during a prover calibration, you have the option of selecting either of these types of provers:
unidirectional  the CFM module:
begins counting when the spheroid passes the
first detector
stops counting when the spheroid passes the second
detector (Prover Total Count Value is updated at this time)
bidirectional  the CFM module:
begins counting when the spheroid passes the first detector
stops counting when the spheroid passes the second
detector (Prover Total Count Value is updated at this time - intermediate value returned)
continues counting when the spheroid returns past the
second detector
stops counting when the spheroid returns past the first
detector (Prover Total Count Value is updated at this time)
detectors
spheroid
19884
Storing Current Count Values
If you are using the Totalizer or Nonresettable Totalizer mode and you are not using a prover, you can use the gate input to store the current count value of any (or all) of the four input channels.
The current count value of each channel is placed in a separate word in the BTR file (Store Count Value). The Store Count Value will remain in the BTR file until a new trigger pulse is received at the gate input. The Store Count Value is then updated to reflect the new value.

1–7Overview of the CFM Module

Output Capabilities

The CFM module has four assignable outputs. These outputs are designed for applications that require fast response. The outputs:
are electrically fused/current limited to 3A (output combinations
are limited to 7A)
can be assigned to any input channel with user-selectable turn-on
and turn-off values
are current sourcing at 5-40V dc (1A maximum per output)
must be connected to an external power supply
are in groups of two — this lets you use two separate external
power supplies if desired (one for outputs 0&1 and one for outputs 2&3)
Outputs may be forced on or off independent of count or frequency value. They may be forced on and off by setting bits in the BTW configuration block.
Important: You can assign as many as four outputs to a given
channel; however, you can not use the same output with two different channels.
In this mode of operation
Totalizer
Nonresettable Totalizer
Highresolution Frequency
Direction Sensor
You can assign outputs that are programmable to trigger
on total, rate, rate change (acceleration), total overflow or prover status on total, rate, rate change (acceleration), total overflow or prover status
on frequency or frequency rate of change (acceleration)
on either CLOCKWISE or COUNTERCLOCKWISE direction, acceleration or frequency (outputs are triggered ON only)

Calculate Power Requirements

Set the Configuration Jumpers

Your CFM module receives its power through the 1771 I/O chassis backplane from the chassis power supply. The maximum current drawn by the CFM module is 1.0A.
Add this value to the requirements of all other modules in the I/O chassis to prevent overloading the chassis backplane and/or backplane power supply.
ATTENTION: When using a 1771-P7 or 1771-PS7 power supply to power an I/O chassis, you cannot
!
place more than four CFM modules in this chassis. The interaction between the four CFM modules and the
1771-P7 or 1771-PS7 power supply (not 16A limit) prevents the power supply from powering up.
You check or set these jumpers:
module operation jumper
input channel jumpers
Check the Module Operation Jumper
Important: Make sure the module operation jumper is in the
CFM position (default setting).

Set the Input Channel Jumpers
The CFM module has user-selectable jumpers for each flowmeter and gate input:
flowmeter jumpers (F0-F3) — set jumper for low-pass filter
(70Hz) or high-speed operation
gate jumpers (G0-G3) — set jumper for +5-12V or
+12-40V operation
The CFM module is configured for high-speed operation. If any input channel will be accepting input from a mechanical switch, you need to set the flowmeter jumper for that input channel to filter operation. The filter provides debouncing for the mechanical switch.
ATTENTION: The frequency of counting must be less than 70Hz when the filter mode is selected. If the
!
frequency exceeds 70Hz, the CFM module will not read the incoming pulse.

must extend up to the point of termination
Important:The shield should extend to the termination point,

Before you configure the CFM module, you need to enter block transfer instructions into your ladder logic. The following example programs illustrate the minimum programming required for communication to take place between the CFM module and a PLC processor.
