Description

This chapter gives you a functional and hardware overview of the analog input module.
The module (Figure 2.1) senses analog signals at its inputs and converts these signals to 3-digit Binary Coded Decimal (BCD) values (0 to 255 BCD) for use by your programmable controller.

The module accepts up to eight analog signals having a single voltage or current range that you select based on the type of input devices required by your application. It allows your programmable controller to

manipulate values representing temperature, pressure, rotational speed, light intensity, and position.
A wiring arm (cat. no. 1771-WB) accompanies the module. It acts as a terminal strip for input connections. The wiring arm pivots on the I/O chassis to connect with terminals on the front of the input module. Thus, the wiring arm lets you quickly connect or disconnect your input wiring when inserting or removing the input module from the I/O chassis.
The input module meets the requirements of the Instrument Society of America, Standard S50.1 (1975), “Compatibility of Analog Signals for Electronic Industrial Process Instruments.”

Input Channels

The input module supports eight single-ended input channels. All eight channels have the same voltage or current range that you select when ordering the module. The range is factory set and calibrated.

When ordering 1771-IE modules, place the order code as a suffix to the catalog number. For example, 1771-IE-04.
You can change from a voltage range to the equivalent current range and vice versa within limited catagories. For example, from the above table you can switch from a range of (1 to 5 VDC) to (4 to 20 mA) or (0 to 5 VDC) to (0 to 20 mA) without recalibrating.

1. Input devices generate analog signals which are transmitted to the
input module.
How the Input Module Converts Analog Signals
2. The input module converts analog signals into BCD values and
stores them until the processor requests a transfer of data.
3. When instructed by your ladder diagram program, the processor
performs a read block transfer of the values and stores them in its data table.
4. Your program can determine that the transfer was made without
error, and that the values are within a specified range.
5. Your program can use and/or move the data before it is written over
by the transfer of new data in a subsequent block transfer.
The input module converts analog signals to digital values readable by your processor (Figure 2.3).
The input module scans its inputs every 2.5ms and converts analog data to a digital format. It stores this data momentarily until transferred to the processor’s data table. The module reserves the last 200 microseconds of

Installing the Analog Input Module

Chapter Objectives

Before You Install the Input Module

This chapter gives you information on:
choosing an external power supply wiring the input module’s field wiring arm keying a chassis slot for your module setting internal configuration switches installing the input module
The input module is shipped to you configured for block transfer operation. If you want to use single transfer, see Appendix C for proper switch settings.
Before installing your input module in the I/O chassis you should:
1. Calculate the power requirements of all modules in each chassis. See
“Power Requirements.”
2. Determine where to place the module in the I/O chassis. See
“Module Location in the I/O Chassis.”

Electrostatic Damage

3. Key the backplane connector in the I/O chassis. See “Keying.”
4. Make connections to the wiring arm. See “Wiring” and
“Grounding.”
5. Set configuration switches (only if you want single transfer, or to
change to the alternate input range).
Electrostatic discharge can damage semiconductor devices inside this module if you touch backplane connector pins, or when you set configuration plugs or switches inside the module. Guard against electrostatic damage by observing the following precautions:
31
Chapter 3
Installing the Analog Input Module
Touch a grounded object to rid yourself of elctrostatic charge before
handling the module.
Handle the module from the front, away from the backplane connector.
Do not touch backplane connector pins.
When setting internal switches or configuration plugs, do not touch
semiconductor devices inside the module. Use a static-safe work station if available.
Keep the module in its static-shield bag when not in use.
CAUTION: Electrostatic discharge can degrade performance or cause permanent damage. Handle this module as stated above.

Power Requirements

Your module requires 400 mA from the I/O chassis backplane. Calculate the power usage of all modules in the I/O chassis so you do not exceed the power rating of the chassis backplane or the backplane power supply.
The input module also requires an external power supply exclusively for analog modules. Using a separate supply protects the analog signal from transients caused by the switching of digital circuits. The specifications for the external DC power supply are:

Installing the Analog Input Module
We recommend either of two Allen-Bradley power supplies:
Power Supply (cat. no. 1770-P1) provides sufficient current for two 1771-IE input modules. This supply operates on either 120 or 220/240 VAC.
The Remote Power Supply (cat. no. 1778-P2) provides external power for up to ten 1771-IE input modules. Do not use this supply for I/O chassis power when powering analog modules. We recommend that you order one or two power cables (cat. no. 1771-CF), and connect no more than five 1771-IE input modules with a single power cable.
Power and common connections can be jumpered from one 1771-IE input module to the next. Be careful to minimize the voltage drop in your power connections.

Module Location

Keying

WARNING: Maintain at least 5.0 VDC between the 5 VDC terminal and common terminal measured at the wiring arm. A lower voltage could cause intermittent operation resulting in possible damage to equipment and personal injury.
Place your module in any I/O module slot except for the extreme left slot of the I/O chassis. This slot is reserved for PC processors or adapter modules. We recommend the following:
Do not put this input module in the same module group with a discrete
high density I/O module when using 2-slot addressing because this input module uses both the input and output image tables for block transfer. Two analog input modules, however, may be put in the same module group.
Group analog input modules away from AC or high voltage DC I/O
modules to minimize electrical noise interference.
Once you designate a slot for your input module, you should not place other types of modules in this slot. We recommend that you use the keying bands, shipped with your I/O chassis, to accept only one type of module in a designated I/O slot.
33
Chapter 3
Installing the Analog Input Module
To key a module slot to accept only the 1771-IE module, position the keying bands on the upper backplane connector at the following positions (Figure 3.1):
between 4 and 6 between 26 and 28

Wiring

34
Connect analog devices and external power to your input module through the Field Wiring Arm (cat. no. 1771-WB). The wiring arm pivots on the front of the I/O chassis to connect with the module. Wiring connections are made at the wiring arm, so you can remove the module from the chassis without disconnecting the wiring.
Connection diagram (Figure 3.2) shows connections of analog devices and power supply to the wiring arm of the input module.
The COMMON terminal on the wiring arm connects to the power supply COMMON and SIGNAL RETURN wires from each of your input devices (Figure 3.2). Do not confuse the SIGNAL RETURN wire with the cable shield. The SIGNAL RETURN is one of the insulated wires of the cable-twisted pair. The cable shield is discussed in the next section.
When wiring analog devices to the wiring arm, use Belden No. 8761 or an equivalent cable. We recommend that the cable from voltage mode input devices does not exceed 50 feet in length. We base this recommendation on considerations of noise immunity in typical industrial environments.
