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.

Chapter 2
Overview of the Analog Input Module
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:

Chapter 3
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):

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.
Chapter 3
Installing the Analog Input Module
There is no restriction on cable length for current mode input devices. Cable length resistance, however, when added to module input resistance, must not be enough to cause an overload on the analog driving device.

Grounding

Ground the drain wire and shield of the Belden No. 8761 or equivalent cable (Figure 3.5) at one end of the cable only. Twist the drain wire and shield into a single strand. The best ground for this connection is an I/O chassis mounting bolt or stud.
Insulate the shield and drain wire at the other end of the cable using electrical tape.
You may mount a separate terminal near the input module for DC COMMON and SIGNAL RETURN wires. This terminal should be mounted as close to the module as possible to minimize the length of unshielded wire.
Refer to Wiring and Grounding Guidelines, publication 1770-4.1 for additional information.

Setting Configuration Switches

The module is set for block transfer operation andcalibrated at the factory for the voltage or current range that you ordered.
CAUTION: Electrostatic discharge can degrade performance or cause permanent damage to the module. Follow the guidelines on electrostatic discharge located at the beginning of this chapter before handling the module.
Transfer Mode
You should change the mode of operation to single transfer if your processor is one of the following:
PLC (now obsolete) Mini-PLC-2 (cat. no. 1772-LN1, -LN2)
Refer to Chapter 5, “Setting These Switches,” for setting the Transfer Mode switch to single transfer.

Installing the Input Module

Signal Mode
Without recalibrating, you can change the 1 to 5 VDC or the 0 to 5 VDC input voltage range to its corresponding 4 to 20 mA or 0 to 20 mA current range. Refer to Calibration, chapter 5, for the location of the signal mode switch assembly (Figure 5.1). Set all switches to the same setting as follows:
If your module is calibrated for one of these two voltage ranges and you want to change to the corresponding current range: set all switches ON.
If your module is calibrated for one of these two current ranges and you want to change to the corresponding voltage range: set all switches OFF.
Changing to any other input range requires that you recalibrate your module to obtain accurate operation.
Now that you have determined the power requirements, location, keying, wiring, and grounding for the input module, you are ready to install it in the chassis. Use the following procedure:
38
Chapter 3
Installing the Analog Input Module
1. Turn off power to the I/O chassis.
WARNING: Remove power from the 1771 I/O chassis backplane and wiring arm before removing or installing an I/O module.
Failure to remove power from the backplane could cause
injury or equipment damage due to possible unexpected operation.
Failure to remove power from the backplane or wiring arm
could cause module damage, degradation or performance, or injury.
2. Insert your module into the chassis. Plastic tracks on the top and
bottom of the slots guide the module into position. Do not force the module into the backplane connector, but apply firm even pressure.
3. Snap the I/O chassis latch over the module. This secures the module
in place.
4. Connect the wiring arm to the module.
5. Turn on power to the I/O chassis.

Block Transfer Programming

In this chapter we describe a general block transfer program, and present a programming example for each family of programmable controllers.
Program your processor to transfer data from the module to the processor’s data table using a block transfer read (BTR) instruction. We give you programming examples. Because every application is different, we urge you not to copy examples but to use the appropriate example as a guide.
Block transfer programming using the BTR instruction is covered in this chapter for most PLC-2 family processors, all PLC-3 family processors, and the PLC-5/15 processor. Other programs for transferring data are found as follows:

If not, refer to the manuals that came with your processor. If necessary, refer to Publications Index, SD499, which lists all publications of the Industrial Computer Group.
We describe programming rungs in one general example applicable to most PLC-2 family processors (Figure 4.1). Although instruction formats are different, the program is also applicable to all PLC-3 family processors, and the PLC-5/15 processor. We also present an example for each processor family with specific addresses to show relationships

Rung 1 This rung uses the BTR instruction to transfer data to the processor. It transfers data on alternate scans unless you condition it with instructions that enable it less often.
Rung 2 This rung moves transferred data to a storage location unless old data was not updated by a new transfer (BTR done bit not set).
Important: Each input word contains an overflow- underflow bit (bit 17) that your program should monitor to be sure the value is within range. The module sets this bit when it detects data at or beyond the limits of 0 and 255. We leave this programming logic to you because it is application dependent.
This example is written for the following conditions (Figure 4.2).
The module resides in rack 1, module group 2, slot 0 8-word block transfer

Important: When your input module is in a local I/O chassis, random chance could allow block transfer requests to occur during module housekeeping and prevent block transfers. This condition is apparent when the done bit remains reset and no new data is transferred. If this condition should occur, we recommend that you add rung 3 to your program. It guards against the possibility of the processor repeatedly asking for a block transfer each time the module inhibits block transfers while updating its inputs.

Chapter 4
Programming the Analog Input Module
This rung adds up to 0.13ms to the processor scan time so use it sparingly. Locate it at the beginning of your ladder program. This logic is not required for PLC-2 family remote systems or for any other processor family.

Programming Considerations

Important: The PLC-5/15 processor buffers read block transfer data automatically, so program buffering is not required.
We suggest that you follow programming considerations applicable to your programmable controller. They are listed below and described in the manual that accompanied your controller.
PLC2 Family
Determine the first available block transfer address in the timer and
counter area of the data table. For PLC-2/20 and PLC-2/30 processors, it depends on the number of assigned remote I/O rack numbers.
Leave unused addresses following your last block transfer address for
future block transfer instructions.
Load zeros into the address following the last (reserved) block transfer
address to establish a boundary that prevents the processor from looking further for additional block transfer addresses.
Buffer incoming (BTR) data. Be sure it is valid before using it.
Examine the BTR done bit and any other status bit that monitors its validity.
45
Chapter 4
Programming the Analog Input Module
PLC3 Family
If your application requires many block transfer modules, distribute the
modules over as many I/O chassis as possible to optimize transfer time for the system as a whole.
Where allowed by your application, program block transfers to occur
less often than once per program scan.
Buffer incoming (BTR) data. Be sure it is valid before using it.
Examine the BTR done bit and any other status bit that monitors its validity.
PLC5/15
Incoming (BTR) data is buffered automatically by the processor.

Calibrating the Analog Input Module

Before You Calibrate

Before you calibrate, follow these steps:
1. Turn OFF power to the I/O chassis backplane and to your wiring
arm.
WARNING: Remove power from the 1771 I/O backplane and wiring arm before removing or installing an I/O module.
Failure to remove power from the backplane could cause
injury or equipment damage due to unexpected operation.
Failure to remove power from the backplane or wiring arm
could cause module damage, degradation of performance, or injury.
2. Disconnect all analog signal inputs from the module’s wiring arm
(leave 5V, +
15V DC, and COMMON connections attached). Label
the inputs to aid you in reconnection.

Calibrating the Input Module

3. Remove the module from the chassis by pivoting the wiring arm
down and releasing the plastic lever at the top of the module. Pull the module straight out from the slot.
CAUTION: Electrostatic discharge can degrade performance or cause permanent damage. Refer to the guidelines at the beginning of chapter 3.
4. Remove screws from the four corners of each cover plate and
remove the covers. This gives you access to internal switch assemblies.
Connect your industrial terminal to your processor so you can display channel input values in BCD during calibration. Be sure your processor is programmed to block transfer data from the module. For safety purposes, disable all outputs or disable your ladder program except for transferring data from the module you are calibrating.

Block Transfer (Multiple GET) for PLC2/20

Example Program

Assumptions

This read-only program (Figure A.1) transfers a block of input data from the analog input module to a momentary storage (buffer) in the processor’s data table. If valid, input data is moved elsewhere in the data table for use by your ladder program. If invalid, it is written over by the next block transfer. This program performs the same function as the 2-rung program described in chapter 4.
Important: If you place your input module in a local chassis, we recommend that you add the same rung as described in the PLC-2 family example (Figure 4.2, Rung 3). This rung guards against the possibility of the processor repeatedly asking for a block transfer when the module momentarily inhibits block transfers while updating its inputs.
The example program is based on the following assumptions:
module in rack 1, module group 2, slot 0 8-word block transfer block transfer (control) address 030 read block transfer (buffer) file 050-057 storage file 150-157

Block Transfer (Multiple GET) for PLC-2/20

Description

Scan 1
Rung 9
This rung controls block transfer. Preconditions are optional. The first available word 030 in the timer/counter accumulated area stores module location 120. Word 130 in the timer/counter preset area stores the address of the first word in the BTR (buffer) file.
Output bit 01207 initiates block transfer. The first digit of this output address is zero, because it is in the output image table. The next three digits are the module’s location: rack, module group, and slot numbers. The last digit, 7, is the BTR enable bit (bit 17 if the module was in slot 1).
Rung 10
Bit 01207 is examined to determine if a block transfer was initiated. If initiated, Bit 02000 is latched until the next program scan.
Scan 2
Rung 1
This rung detects the request (02000) and completion (11207) of a block transfer to this module. Upon completion, it lets transferred data move to storage location words 150-157 in rungs 11-17.
Rung 2
This rung resets the block transfer operation. Bit 02000 is unlatched. It will be latched again if a block transfer request is made this program scan.
Rungs 3  7
These rungs determine the block length by setting a binary code equal to the number of words transferred.
A3
Appendix A
Block Transfer (Multiple GET) for PLC-2/20
Rungs 11  18
These rungs move data from the BTR read file to storage. When the block transfer one-shot (02002) is set, data in each (buffer) word address 050-057 is moved to storage location 150-157 where it can be used by your ladder program. If data is not moved, it is written over by the next block transfer.
Important: Each input word contains an overflow- underflow bit (bit 17) that your program should monitor to be sure the value stored in that word is within range. The module sets this bit when it detects data at or beyond the limits of 0 and 255. We leave this programming logic to you because it is application dependent.
Last Rung
These GET instructions display the BCD value of each transferred word, and are for display only.

Appendix
B
Single Channel Transfer for PLC Processors

Example Program

Programming techniques used in this example program (Figure B.1) for the PLC processor include:
I/O scan counter conditional ignore zone
I/O Scan Counter
The I/O scan counter (rungs 1-3) controls the transfer sequence and gives the module sufficient time to respond to channel byte and update select commands.
The scan counter increments only when a program scan and I/O scan have occurred. It does this by manipulating a specially chosen bit. The bit must be in the input image table, and must have an input module associated with it. The terminal corresponding to this bit must NOT have an input device wired to it so it can be turned OFF each I/O scan. Choose a bit which satisfies these conditions:
It has an input address with the same assigned rack number as the input
module.
The input terminal associated with that bit address should be in a
module group with a higher module group number than the one the input module is in.
The input terminal associated with that bit address must be unused.
Wire it to DC COMMON or L2 (AC Low) to guard against wiring it to an input device.
Conditional Ignore Zone
The conditional ignore zone controls multiple output instructions based on a set of overriding conditions. When these conditions are true, the outputs within the zone are controlled by the conditions in their individual rungs. When false, the zone outputs are held in their last state, whether ON or OFF.
B1
Appendix B
Single Channel Transfer for PLC Processor
The rungs within the conditional ignore zone (rungs 6-25) reconstruct and store the 16-bit input word from each channel. The override condition of the zone must be true (I/O scan counter accumulated value = 007) for the state of any output within the zone to be changed.

In single channel transfer, the processor transfers data one byte at a time. Your program must reconstruct the data into 16-bit words in the correct sequence. We developed a flow chart (Figure B.2) that describes single transfer programming to help you understand the logic.

Single Channel Transfer for PLC Processor

Assumptions

Using Less Than Eight Input Channels

The example program is based on the following assumptions:
The input module is in slot 0 of module group 0 in rack 1.
All eight channels are used. If fewer channels are used, rungs may be
eliminated.
The following data table addresses are used to store values:
- words 250-251 serve as momentary storage
- words 260-267 store input channel values
- words 360-370 store constants 000-008
Often fewer than eight input channels are connected to the module. If using fewer than eight inputs, omit channels in reverse order. Omit channel 8 first, channel 7 second, etc, when connecting analog devices and when programming.
You can shorten the program to conserve memory and decrease program scan time. To reduce program size, study the sequence of events used to update module data and to read the data from each channel. Reduce the program as follows:
Omit channel select bit instructions starting with 10116, 01005, etc.
(rung 17).
Omit rungs that store channel values starting with rung 24, rung 23, etc.
Reduce the byte select comparison value in word 367 (rung 26).
Reduce the preset of the increment reference counter (rung 27).
Program channel select bits only for those channels you are using.
Omit rung 35 for channel 8, rung 34 for channel 7, etc.
Reset counters to the number of channels used by reducing the
comparison value stored in word 370 (rungs 36 and 37) accordingly.
Reduce the number of GET instructions in the display rung (rung 38).
