What FLEX I/O Analog

Modules Do

The FLEX I/O HART input and output modules must be used in a ControlNet or EtherNet/IP network.

The 1794-IF8IH module accepts up to eight analog inputs. The inputs are isolated and will accept current in either of the following two ranges: 4…20 mA or 0…20 mA. The default input range is 0…20 mA. The inputs have both fixed hardware filters and selectable firmware digital filters.

Rockwell Automation Publication 1794-UM065D-EN-P - April 2020

FLEX I/O Isolated Input/Output HART Analog Modules User Manual

Communicate with Programmable Controllers

The 1794-IF8IHNFXT module supports 0…20 mA and 4…20 mA ranges, with a default input range of 0…20 mA. It has seven selectable input filters and seven input data formats. It provides support for loop alarm, which detects gross signal errors such as open and short circuit. It has programmable user alarms (high, low, remote high high, and remote low low). The module has a HART modem per channel. It is compliant with HART versions 5, 6, and 7, except for multi-drop support.

The 1794-OF8IH module provides as many as eight (8) analog outputs. The outputs are isolated and will provide current in either of the following two ranges: 4…20 mA or 0…20 mA. The default output range is 0…20 mA.

Each module offers:

•full functionality without switches or jumpers.

•multiple data ranges that can be independently programmed for each channel.

•lead breakage detection.

•overrange/underrange alarms.

•remote transmitter alarm.

Data connections are established between the FLEX I/O module and an Allen-Bradley® programmable controller (PLC) to transfer information between the two at a scheduled rate.

Input module information is then automatically made available in the PLC data table through the data connection. Reciprocally, output data information determined by the PLC program is also automatically transferred from the PLC data table to the output module through the data connection.

In addition, when the data connection is originally established, configuration information for the module is automatically transferred to it via the network.

Events Following Powerup

You must apply +24V DC power to your FLEX I/O analog I/O modules. The following sequence of events occurs after power has initially been applied to your module:

1.The module status indicator will blink red until a connection is established and a valid configuration is passed to the module.

2.After the diagnostic check, module configuration information, selected by the user and downloaded over the network, is applied by the module. For more information on configuration options, refer to Configurable FLEX I/O Analog Module Features on page 19.

3.Following the module configuration download for the 1794-IF8IH and 1794-IF8IHNFXT modules, the module begins producing runtime data for the PLC processor.

Following the module configuration download for the 1794-OF8IH module, the module applies configuration data to output channels.

4.If any diagnostics or alarms are generated during normal module operation, the data is returned to the PLC processor.

The module label identifies the key-in position, wiring, and module type. Use the removable label to note individual designations per your application.

Use Alarms on the Input Modules

The 1794-IF8IH and 1794-IF8IHNFXT FLEX I/O modules are capable of generating four alarms:

•Low Alarm

•High Alarm

•Remote Fault

•Local Fault

Rockwell Automation Publication 1794-UM065D-EN-P - April 2020

FLEX I/O Isolated Input/Output HART Analog Modules User Manual

These alarm conditions are described in general terms and as they relate to bits on the FLEX I/O module on the following pages.

Low Alarm

The low alarm notifies you when module input signal moves below the configured low alarm trigger point. If the input signal falls below 0% (4 mA), a Low Alarm is generated.

High Alarm

The high alarm works converse to the low alarm. This feature notifies you when the input signal falls above the configured high alarm trigger point. If the input signal falls above 0% (4 mA), an Underrange Alarm is generated.

Remote Fault Alarm

The remote fault alarm is intended for use with remote transmitter loops.

For example, the remote transmitter may be measuring temperature and converting it to a standard mA signal. In such a loop, though, the input module cannot determine the state of the loop on the far side of the transmitter. However, the remote transmitter may be capable of diagnosing a problem in the remote loop and signal the input module local loop with a preprogrammed out-of-range (high or low) value.

The Fault Enable bit allows the 1794-IF8IH and 1794-IF8IHNFXT modules to work with transmitters like the one described.

IMPORTANT Once the alarm is issued, it remains active as long as the input signal value remains above or below the programmed value.

Use Remote Fault Alarm to Determine High-High or Low-Low Alarm Levels

If you do not have a remote transmitter in your loop, this alarm can also be used to program a high-high or low-low alarm level between the levels, which actuate the overrange or underrange alarms and the high or low local fault alarms.

16	Rockwell Automation Publication 1794-UM065D-EN-P - April 2020

FLEX I/O Isolated Input/Output HART Analog Modules User Manual

Programming the Remote Fault Alarm

For the remote fault alarm, you must program the threshold in 0.1 mA steps at any level on the high or low end of input signal range. The remote fault alarm activates if your I/O module receives input signal values of:

•100.63…111.88% (20.1…21.9 mA) on the high end of input signal range or

•-0.63…-11.88% (3.9…2.1 mA) on the low end of input signal range.

Local Fault Alarm

The local fault alarm notifies you when the loop to the transmitter or field device (if no transmitter is used) is open or shorted.

IMPORTANT Once the alarm is issued, it remains active as long as the input signal value remains in the programmed range.

•112.50% (22 mA) or higher on the high end of input signal range. This value indicates a short in the loop.

•-12.50% (2 mA) or lower on the low end of input signal range. This value indicates an open wire condition in the loop.

The remote fault and local fault alarms are issued with the same bit whether the cause is an under or overrange. Monitor the overrange and underrange bits in your programming software to determine if the problem is a high current or low current.

Use the HART Capabilities Before using the HART capabilities, be sure that:

•the I/O module and the associated field device are working properly in the analog 4…20 mA mode.

•the I/O module is configured for 4…20 mA range.

•the field device is HART capable.

•no multiple HART field device is connected to each channel.

•input filtering is set to a valid (defined) value.

FLEX I/O Isolated Input/Output HART Analog Modules User Manual

HART Implementation

Overview

The FLEX I/O HART modules act as intelligent HART multiplexers. Basically, the module learns which HART devices are attached to its channels and then routes HART messages, as appropriate, between the HART field devices and the Flexbus. Since the HART modules act as intelligent HART multiplexers, HART commands can be issued to the HART modules themselves.

Communication on the Flexbus occurs between the adapter and the HART module. The adapter converts these messages to the appropriate network format for communication with the controlling processor. The controlling processor gets its command from the user program, storing the responses in its memory.

•Remote Fault Alarm

•Local Fault Mode

Use your programming software to set the Fault Enable bit to 0 to disable these alarms. Set the bit to 1 to enable them.

IMPORTANT Fault Enable will only enable or disable the Remote and Local Fault alarms. It does not affect the Underrange and Overrange alarms. They are always active.

For more information, see Remote Fault Alarm on page 16 and Local Fault Alarm on page 17.

Sample Filter Frequency Rates

Six available input filter settings for the 1794-IF8IH module and seven input filter settings for the 1794-IF8IHNFXT module allow you to choose the best rolloff frequency for input channels on your I/O module. When choosing a filter, remember that time filter selection affects your input signal’s accuracy.

For example, if you choose the highest frequency of 470 Hz (filter 0) for the 1794-IF8IH module, signal noise is more likely to affect the reading, but the slowest frequency of 4.17 Hz (filter 5) provides the most accurate signal due to

Local Fault Mode

The Local Fault Mode can be programmed to determine how the module responds to communications faults and internal module faults.

When setting the Local Fault Mode feature in your programming software, set this feature’s bit to 0 to use the analog fault state or digital fault state only if a communications fault occurs. Set the bit to 1 to use the Analog Fault state or Digital Fault state if any fault occurs.

Analog fault state and digital fault state determine how the module reacts to faults when a channel is used in analog mode or digital mode, respectively.

Latch Mode

Latch Mode determines channel operation under wire-off or lead-break fault conditions. This feature is available for each channel. Channel detection occurs on a continuous basis. If a fault is detected, the channel fault alarm is set.

If Latch mode is enabled when a fault occurs, the fault will remain latched in its fault state until a Global Reset is issued. If Latch mode is disabled when a fault occurs, the channel reports a fault until the fault is corrected. Global Reset is not necessary if Latch mode is disabled.

When using your programming software, set the Latch mode bit to 0 to disable the feature. Set the bit to 1 to enable it.

Global Reset

Global Reset works in conjunction with Latch mode during fault conditions. If Latch mode is enabled and a fault condition occurs, the channel operating with a fault remains in this condition (with analog or digital fault state implied) until a Global Reset is issued. The Global Reset feature resets all outputs of a particular channel group to accept normal system output data.

The Global Reset feature is an edge triggered signal. Use your programming software to set the Global Reset bit to 1 for normal operation. Resetting of outputs occurs during the 1...0 transition.

Data Format

You must choose a module data format in your user program. See 1794-OF8IH Data Formats on page 77 for an explanation of each bit. Data Formats 2, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 and 15 are not assigned.

When choosing a data format, remember the following:

•If an unassigned Analog Data Format is selected, the module sets Diagnostic Data to 2 for configuration failure and puts affected channels in the corresponding fault state.

•An unconfigured module channel can be assumed to have the default configuration Analog Data Format 0, 0...20 mA and Analog Mode Fault State minimum range. If a non-assigned format is selected, then the diagnostic 2 for configuration failure is set and the module channel goes to the default fault state minimum range.

•If on the other hand, the configuration had been changed, from the default, and then it was changed again to a non-assigned format, then the diagnostic bit 2 for configuration failure is set and the module goes to the fault state for the last valid configuration.

•Formats 13 and 14 are 2’s complement data formats, and require data to the module in that form.

•Range: 0…15

•Default: 0

•Data Table Reference: data format, word 12 and 13, bits 0…3, bits 4…7

If the data is sent to the module, which is out of range, the value will be clipped and Diagnostic Data will be set to 11 data out of range.

Fault Alarm

Fault Alarm selects whether the channel fault detection is enabled or disabled. There is a 100 Hz (10 ms) filter for wire off or lead break detection.

Use your programming software to set the Fault Alarm. Set the feature bit to 0 to disable the alarm. Set the bit to 1 to enable wire off/lead break fault detection.

All Allen-Bradley FLEX I/O modules have a sixteen word table of Real Time Data (RTD) to be transferred between the controller and the I/O module. Not all 16 words need be allocated.

Removal and Insertion

Under Power

Before installing your FLEX I/O analog module:

You Need To	As Described Under

Verify that the module will be installed in a	Removal and Insertion Under Power on
suitable enclosure	page 27

Position the keyswitch on the terminal base	Install the Module on page 28

ATTENTION: These modules do not receive primary operational power from the backplane. +V and -V DC power must be applied to your module before installation. If power is not applied, the module position will appear to the adapter as an empty slot in your chassis.

WARNING: These modules are designed so you can remove and insert them under power. However, take special care when removing or inserting these modules in an active process. I/O attached to any module being removed or inserted can change states due to its input/output signal changing conditions.

If you insert or remove the terminal base 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.

FLEX I/O Isolated Input/Output HART Analog Modules User Manual

WARNING: When used in a class I, division 2, hazardous location, this equipment must be mounted in a suitable enclosure with proper wiring method that complies with the governing electrical codes.

Install the Module

Installation of the module consists of the following:

•Mounting the terminal base unit.

•Installing the analog I/O module into the terminal base unit.

•Installing the connecting wiring to the terminal base unit.

If you are installing your module into a terminal base unit that is already installed, proceed to page 32.

ATTENTION: Do not use the unused terminals on the terminal base unit. Using the terminals as supporting terminals can result in damage to modules and/or unintended operation of your system.

Mount on a DIN Rail

ATTENTION: Do not remove or replace a terminal base unit when power is applied. Interruption of the Flexbus can result in unintended operation or machine motion.

Install the Terminal Base Unit

1.Remove the cover plug in the male connector of the unit to which you are connecting this terminal base unit.

2.Check to make sure that the 16 pins in the male connector on the adjacent device are straight and in line so that the mating female connector on this terminal base unit will mate correctly.

3.Verify that the female Flexbus connector is fully retracted into the base unit.

28	Rockwell Automation Publication 1794-UM065D-EN-P - April 2020

FLEX I/O Isolated Input/Output HART Analog Modules User Manual

4.Position the terminal base at a slight angle and hooked over the top of the 35 x 7.5 mm DIN rail A

(Allen-Bradley part number 199-DR1)

7.Press down on the terminal base unit to lock the terminal base on the DIN rail. If the terminal base does not lock into place, use a screwdriver or similar device to open the locking tab, press down on the terminal base until flush with the DIN rail and release the locking tab to lock the base in place.

41108

Gently push the Flexbus connector into the side of the adapter (or proceeding terminal base) to complete the backplane connection.

41109

8.For specific wiring information, see the installation instructions for the module you are installing in this terminal base unit.

Terminal assignments are also given later in this chapter, see page 34.

9.Repeat the above steps to install the next terminal base unit.

Be sure the Flexbus connector cover on the last terminal base unit is in place.

Mount on a Panel or Wall

Installation of a FLEX I/O system on a wall or panel consists of:

•laying out the drilling points on the wall or panel.

•drilling the pilot holes for the mounting screws.

•mounting the adapter mounting plate.

•installing the terminal base units and securing them to the wall or panel.

If you are installing your module into a terminal base unit that is already installed, proceed to Mount the Analog Modules on the Terminal Base Unit on page 32.
