Environment and Enclosure
ATTENTION
WARNING
This equipment is intended for use in a Pollution Degree 2 industrial
environment, in overvoltage Category II applications (as defined in IEC 60664-1),
at altitudes up to 2000 m (6562 ft) without derating.
This equipment is considered Group 1, Class A industrial equipment according
to IEC/CISPR 11. Without appropriate precautions, there may be difficulties with
electromagnetic compatibility in residential and other environments due to
conducted and radiated disturbances.
This equipment is supplied as open-type equipment. It must be mounted within
an enclosure that is suitably designed for those specific environmental
conditions that will be present and appropriately designed to prevent personal
injury resulting from accessibility to live parts. The enclosure must have suitable
flame-retardant properties to prevent or minimize the spread of flame,
complying with a flame spread rating of 5VA, V2, V1, V0 (or equivalent) if
non-metallic. The interior of the enclosure must be accessible only by the use of
a tool. Subsequent sections of this publication may contain additional
information regarding specific enclosure type ratings that are required to comply
with certain product safety certifications.
In addition to this publication, see:
• Industrial Automation Wiring and Grounding Guidelines, for additional
• NEMA Standards 250 and IEC 60529, as applicable, for explanations of
the degrees of protection provided by different types of enclosure.

If 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.

ATTENTION
This product is grounded through the DIN rail to chassis ground. Use zinc plated
yellow-chromate steel DIN rail to assure proper grounding. The use of other DIN
rail materials (for example, aluminum or plastic) that can corrode, oxidize, or are
poor conductors, can result in improper or intermittent grounding. Secure DIN
rail to mounting surface approximately every 200 mm (7.8 in.) and use
end-anchors appropriately.
Prevent Electrostatic Discharge
This equipment is sensitive to electrostatic discharge, which can cause internal
damage and affect normal operation. Follow these guidelines when you handle
this equipment:
• Touch a grounded object to discharge potential static.
• Wear an approved grounding wriststrap.
• Do not touch connectors or pins on component boards.
• Do not touch circuit components inside the equipment.
• Use a static-safe workstation, if available.
• Store the equipment in appropriate static-safe packaging when not in
use.
To comply with the CE Low Voltage Directive (LVD), all connected I/O must be
powered from a source compliant with the following:
Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) or Protected Extra Low Voltage (PELV).

About the Module
The HART analog modules can be used with ControlNet, Ethernet and
Profibus-DP (1794-APBDV1 only) adapters. When using the Series B module
with a Series B profile, you must have a ControlNet adapter Revision 5.1 or
higher or an Ethernet adapater Revision 4.2 or higher.
For this scenario (Series A profile with a Series B Module), the data maps
(input, configuration and extended configuration) are designated as Series A
Mode. Note, all other data maps are for a Series B module with a Series B
profile.
Only use the series A configuration when replacing a series A module with a
series B module. If you access the Series A configuration while using the
module as a series B unpredictably operation of the module may occur.
Install the Module
Read this for information about how to install the module. The module must
be used with a 1794-TB3G or 1794-TB3GS terminal base unit.
During mounting of all devices, be sure that all debris (such as metal chips or
wire strands) is kept from falling into the module. Debris that falls into the
module could cause damage on power up.

Do not remove or replace a Terminal Base unit while power is applied.
Interruption of the backplane can result in unintentional operation or machine
motion.
You must disable keying in your profile when replacing a series A module with
a series B module.
To install the module on a 1794 terminal base, refer to the figure and
complete the following.
1. Rotate the keyswitch (1) on the terminal base (2) clockwise to position
3 as required for this type of module.
Do not change the position of the keyswitch after wiring the terminal base
unit.
2. Make sure the flexbus connector (3) is pushed all the way to the left to
connect with the neighboring terminal base or adapter.
You cannot install the module unless the connector is fully extended.
3. Make sure the pins on the bottom of the module are straight so they
align properly with the connector in the terminal base.
4. Position the module (4) with its alignment bar (5) aligned with the
groove (6) on the terminal base.
5. Press firmly and evenly to seat the module in the terminal base unit,
noting that the module is seated when the latching mechanism (7) is
locked into the module.
6. Remove cap plug (8) and attach another terminal base unit to the right
of this terminal base unit if required.

5. Connect -V to terminal 35 on the 34 to 51 row (C).
6. If continuing power to the next terminal base unit, connect a jumper
from terminal 50 (+V) on this base unit to terminal 34 on the next
base unit.
If continuing common to the next terminal base unit, connect a
jumper from terminal 51 (-V) on this base unit to terminal 35 on the
next base unit.
The 1794-IE8H module shall be used only with Listed Allen-Bradley (Rockwell
Automation) Power Supply (catalog number 1794-PS13) or Listed Class 2 source.
To reduce susceptibility to noise, power analog modules and digital modules
from separate power supplies.
All I/O wiring must use shielded wire. Shields must be terminated external to
the module, such as bus bars and shield-terminating feed-throughs.
Inputs
Each input can be operated from an analog field device signal.
The channels in these modules are electrically connected to each other and
have a common plus-line.
When interconnecting several lines, you must consider the total accumulated
power.

HART Rebuild BitThe HART Rebuild bit will trigger a HART Rebuild on a transition from 0
to 1. The HART Rebuild bit must remain 1 for HART communications to
function after the rebuild completes. If the HART Rebuild bit is set to 0,
HART communications are disabled.
HART Rebuild Flag During the time the system is rebuilding the HART table, the HART
rebuild flag is set.

measured current value on a loop (by the 1794-IE8H) and the digital
current (sensed by the HART device on its own) received by the
1794-IE8H during HART communication in the background. This
functionality can be turned on by defining a HART read back threshold
greater than 0. This functionality is used to recognize loop errors
whereby a parasitic current is bypassing the 1794-IE8H.
Range: 0 = normal, 1 = HART read back threshold is exceeded.
Delivers the percentage value (in steps of 1%) of the threshold for
forcing the HART read back indication (input signal deviation
HART/Analog) with a 31% maximum deviation.
If there is no HART transmitter on the loop or the loop is not in the
transmitter list, the function is switched off internally in the I/O module.
Range: 0 = disabled, 1…4 = not supported from I/O module (set to 5
internally), 5…31 = percentage threshold data (5…31%).
Range: 0 = normal, 1 = HART communication is currently occurring.
When this bit is set (1), it indicates that a HART field device was found
during the rebuild sequence on the associated channel.
Range: 0 = transmitter was not found, 1 = HART transmitter was found.
This setting affects all channels using Data Format 2 or 6. It sets low,
end-of-scale percent value at which square roots start being reported.
Below this level 0% is reported. This compensates for asymptotic
values of the square-root function as the input approaches 0.
Range: 0 = disabled, 1 = 2%, 2 = 5%, 3 = 10%

Field Transmitter Supply Characteristic
The field transmitter supply can be modeled as a 23.7V source with a 273 Ω
series resistance see the Field Transmitter Load Characteristic graph. This
provides a simple and useful mechanism to determine transmitter and loop
compatibility.
The actual transmitter supply contains three ranges of impedance with the
following characteristics:
• The output voltage is
