OVERVIEW
Throughout this installation and operation guide, unless reference is being made to one specific version of the module, the designation 140 AxI 05x 00sc will be used for generic reference purposes. The 140 AxI 05x 00sc consists of a series of four analog input modules, each with 32 channels of input. The differentiation between the four different modules is shown in the table below.
140 ACI 050 00sc current only
140 AVI 050 00sc voltage only 140 ACI 051 00sc current or voltage combination *140 ACI 052 00sc current or voltage combination with time and date stamping * The 140 ACI 052 00sc Time Stamp option is covered in a separate manual.
Each module will accept 32 single ended analog inputs. The inputs are divided into four groups of eight inputs each. Each group has 15V isolation to the other groups. Analog inputs within a group has 0V of isolation channel-to-channel. All inputs have 500V ac isolation channel­to-backplane.
These modules have been designed for projects that include large quanti­ties of analog inputs. Process control and data acquisition applications for industries such as utilities, waste water, oil and gas, food and beverage, and building automation are ideally suited for this module. The time and date stamp version of the module is perfect for remote terminal unit (RTU) applications or for supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) applications requiring programmable alarm levels.
Input channels include over voltage circuit protection, over and under range detection and active notch filtering. The voltage mode of the module handles four different voltage ranges and the current mode handles two current ranges. You can configure the module to provide data in one of four data formats. Set up of the module is very simple through the use of configuration and status registers using Concept, Modsoft or Taylor programming software.
1
1.1 Inputs
The module can be purchased as current only, voltage only, current or voltage combination, or as a current or voltage combination with a time stamp option. The 32 channels are separated into four groups of eight. Each group can be configured for a different voltage or current range. The ranges available are as follows:
Current Ranges
• 4-20 mA, 0-20 mA
Voltage Ranges:
• ±10VDC, 0-10VDC, 0-5VDC, 1-5VD
The module can provide data to the PLC in the following formats:
• 12 bit (0 to 4095)
• signed 15 bit (-32768 to +32767)
• unsigned 16 bit (0 to 65535)
• DVM (0 to 10000)
• Input Filter Options (10Hz, 50Hz, 60Hz, 1kHz)

MODULE SETUP FOR MODSOFT
2.1 General Information
Six steps must be performed in order to fully configure the Quantum system in preparation for using the AxI 05x 00sc:
Step 1: Modsoft programming software must be updated so that the
140 AxI 05x 00sc is recognized in the software (see Section 2.2).
Step 2: Select the appropriate slot location using the Modsoft I/O map.
Choose the first 3x and 4x level registers to be used in the system for the module’s data, configuration and status informa­tion (see Section 2.3).
Step 3: Zoom screens for the module must be set to match application
requirements (see Section 2.4).
Step 4: The 4x configuration register must be set to meet application
requirements (see Section 4.1).
Step 5: Module status information is available to you. The various
options must be understood and chosen to meet your application requirements (see Section 4.2 and Section 4.3).
Step 6: Ladder rungs must be written to demultiplex the incoming 8 data
registers to 32 user selected data registers (see Section 6.3).

2.2 Installation of new run time files
If you are using the Modsoft programming software version 2.4 or 2.5, it is necessary to update the following runtime files in order for Modsoft to recognize your module. Versions prior to 2.4 are not supported. Version
2.6 and newer already include these updates.
LMSFDT.SYS Zoom screens GCNFTCOP.SYS I/O Map module definitions
QUANTUM.SYS Quantum help screens
This may be accomplished by first identifying the pathname where you have installed your Modsoft programming software and the drive letter of the floppy drive from which you intend to install. A typical pathname assuming installation of the C: drive is as follows:
C:\MODSOFT
The new runtime files required to use all versions of this module are supplied on the 3.5 inch MSDOS formatted floppy disk titled:
“Quantum Runtime Files,” Spectrum Controls, Inc Part Number: 20500121-xx
To install these files, operate your PC in MSDOS mode, perform the following command:
C:>\COPY A:*.SYS C:\MODSOFT\RUNTIME
+ Note: This assumes you are installing from drive A: and that you have previously installed
Modsoft in the directory C:\MODSOFT . If not, you must make the appropriate substitutions.
2.3 General information on data register usage and terminology:
A total of nine 3x level and one 4x level registers are used by the 140 AxI 05x 00sc. After you have completed the runtime file installation, you can go to the I/O Map screen and choose the 140 AxI 05x 00sc by selecting the desired slot, pressing <Shift + ?> which will display the modules available for configuration into that slot. For module specific help, press <ALT + H>. After selecting the module, you must set the first 3x and 4x level registers to be used. This will then automatically capture nine consecutive 3x level and one 4x level register for use by the module. The architecture for this 32-channel module is as follows:

Figure 2.1
Calibration rate: The Quantum module performs an on board system calibration at power up. The system calibration corrects for temperature drift of the Analog to Digital Convertor (ADC) and related circuitry. System calibration can be performed periodically based on the calibration rate selected below. This can affect the update time for the module. For installations where the ambient temperature surrounding the I/O rack can change relatively quickly, the user might consider going to a more frequent calibration selection in order to improve the accuracy of the reading being taken. The autocalibration schedule rate may be selected from the following:
Once at power up only Every 1 min Every 10 min [default] Every 30 min
8
Selecting an autocalibration schedule rate is an exercise in tradeoffs. Performing autocalibration more frequently may result in greater accu­racy due to variations caused by environmental factors such as tempera­ture. This accuracy has a cost in the burden imposed by performing the calibration. The calibration time is a function of the filter frequency. Calibration times are listed below. The system cannot update the channel data while performing calibration. In addition, if multiple filter frequencies are selected, calibrations for each frequency and the execution time is cumulative. The worst case calibration time is when all filter frequencies are enabled (10, 50, 60 and 1000 Hz). The time is then the total for all four times listed below. Also, note that the channel enables have no effect on the auto calibration feature. If a filter frequency is enabled via the zoom screens, then the autocalibration is performed for the frequency.
10 Hz1,420 msec 50 Hz 397 msec 60 Hz260 msec 1000 Hz45 msec
Filter Frequency Selection: The Analog-to-Digital Conversion
performs a filter function on the input signal. One of the follow­ing filter frequencies may be selected for each of the four groups of eight channels:
Filter: 10 Hz
50 Hz 60 H z [default]
1000 Hz
Input data format: One of the following data formats may be
selected for each of the four groups of eight channels:
Format: 16-bit Format
Voltmeter [default] 12-bit Format 15-bit plus sign Format
Note: The module’s format selection must be compatible with the register format selected
in Modsoft.
9
Input Range: Depending on the module that you have purchased,
one of the following input ranges may be selected for each of the four groups of eight channels:
Range: -10 to +10 V [default V oltage or V/I Modules]
1 to +5V 0 to +5V 0 to +10V 4 to 20mA [default Current Modules] 0 to 20mA
Differential mode: One of the following acquisition modes may
be selected for each of the four groups of eight channels. Differ­ential mode calculates the difference between two consecutive channel inputs and provides the data to the register assigned for the first channel in the pair. When differential mode is enabled, the second channel’s output will be zero. The data acquisition between the two channels is not synchronized so common mode noise on the signal pair may not be fully removed, however DC offsets should be compensated for correctly.
10
Note: The channel pairs are not being updated simultaneously , this could lead to an
error in the actual differential value that is calculated. See figure 2.1 Differential Mode: Disabled [default]

3.5 Spectrum I/O Configuration Utility
“SCIOCFG.EXE” is a utility provided on the install disk under the typical pathname “A:\CONCEPT\SCIOCFG.EXE”. “SCIOCFG.EXE” is intended to help users configure Spectrum I/O when using Concept. This tool is intended to make the configuration of I/O modules supplied by Spectrum Controls easy to accomplish when using Concept.
Version 2.1 of the Concept programming software introduced the tool for importing ModConnect module definition files into the Concept database. This allows Concept users to configure ModConnect I/O such as the 140 AxI 05x 00sc. However, Concept V2.1 does not provide a means for ModConnect I/O developers to design their own I/O configuration menus. Instead, Concept provides a generic interface where the user must enter configuration parameters in hexadecimal values. The Spectrum I/O modules are designed to be feature rich with an efficient use of registers. This requires the user to be intimately aware of the initialization param­eters structure in order to perform simple I/O configuration changes. Simply stated, users can calculate the correct hexadecimal values for the configuration parameters but it is a tedious task, SCIOCFG is designed to relieve the user of this burden.
SCIOCFG presents the user with user friendly selection lists using standard Windows interfaces. SCIOCFG also automatically constrains all parameters to legal values during the data entry process.
SCIOCFG may be run in one of two modes, stand alone mode, or syn­chronous mode. In the stand alone mode, the user configures the data for a given module as desired. SCIOCFG then presents the parameters in hexadecimal values so the user may then manually transfer this data to Concept at a later time.
In the synchronous mode, SCIOCFG runs in the background waiting for the user to select the generic I/O parameters configuration menu for any one of the modules supported. When this occurs, SCIOCFG reads the data from the Concept generic I/O parameter configuration menu, and activates the appropriate I/O parameter configuration menu. When the user clicks on the SCIOCFG OK button, the new data is sent back to Concept.

3.6 SCIOCFG.EXE Installation:
SCIOCFG.EXE is a 32-bit Windows program requiring Windows 95 or newer. Installation of SCIOCFG.EXE is simple. Copy the SCIOCFG.EXE file from the installation disk to the desired directory. Then you may add a shortcut to the windows desktop or add the program to the windows taskbar using standard windows techniques.
e.g. From a DOS window:
C:\>MD C:\SCIOCFG C:\> COPY A:\CONCEPT\SCIOCFG.EXE C:\SCIOCFG
To add a shortcut:
1. Place the mouse cursor on an open area of the windows desktop.
2. Click the right mouse button.
3. Select the “New” option.
4. Select the “Shortcut” option.
5. Enter the full install pathname. E.G. C:\SCIOCFG\SCIOCFG.EXE
+
Note: The user may optionally configure SCIOCFG to always run in either the stand alone
mode or the synchronous mode. To do this, place a space in one of the following strings immediately after the full pathname:
NO_SYNC SYNC_WITH_CONCEPT
E.G. C:\SCIOCFG\SCIOCFG.EXE SYNC_WITH_CONCEPT
6. Name as desired.
7. Activate the “Finish” button.
To add to Windows Programs Selections or a Folder:

Chapter 4
MODULE CONFIGURATION AND STATUS
The 140 AxI 05x 00sc uses a total of nine 3x level and one 4x level registers. After Modsoft (Section 2.3) or Concept (Section 3.3) soft­ware is installed, additional configuration and status registers are set as follows:
4.1 Configuration word format (Register 4x)
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16

4x Group Channel Disable: Bits 1-8
These bits are used to fine tune the response time of your system. They enable data acquisition on eight groups of four channels each. A “0” enables the group, a “1” disables the group. Disabling groups of chan­nels improves system response time.
23
Bit 8: Channels 1-4 Bit 7: Channels 5-8 Bit 6: Channels 9-12 Bit 5: Channels 13-16 Bit 4: Channels 17-20 Bit 3: Channels 21-24 Bit 2: Channels 25-28 Bit 1: Channels 29-32
4x Reserved: Bit 9
Bit 9 is reserved. Bit 9 should be set to a “0.”
4x Autosequence Disable: Bit 10
Auto sequence allows the module to automatically sequence through the eight groups of a data presented in the 4x registers. When acquiring data it is necessary to identify which group sequence is currently loaded. This is done by referencing the group number which may be found in the status word group ID (3x+9 Bits 15-16)
When the Autosequence Disable bit is set (Bit 10=1), the module reads only the eight channels identified by the Group Select Bits. If Autosequence Disable is disabled (Bit 10=0), Autosequence mode will be in effect. When in autosequence mode, the module ignores the channel group select in the 4x+0 configuration word, and instead sequences through all four groups automatically. The values in the eight data registers belong to the group identified in the status word group ID (3x+9 bits 15 and 16). The user must set aside 32 registers as a permanent image of the channel data. During run time, the ladder need only deter­mine the current group for the eight data registers (3x+0 through 3x+7) in order to determine where the data should be copied into the 32 register channel image.
When autosequence is disabled, the user must manually increment the group select in the configuration word and the module sends back only the data requested.
Sample ladder logic for both techniques is provided in section 6.3.
24
4x Data Input Mode: Bits 11, 12
The module continuously outputs a group of eight registers worth of data. The data for a given group can be paged between three modes. These are the standard channel input data, channel status data or Time stamp data.
Page Bit 11 Bit 12 Input Modes
0 0 0 Data 1 0 1 Status 2 1 0 Time Stamp
4x Group Select: Bits 13, 14, 15, 16
These four bits are used to select a desired group of channels when the Auto Sequence mode is not used. The group selection is used when autosequnce is disabled to allow ladder to control which group of the module’s input data, status data, and time stamp data (see Time Stamp manual publication #0300169) is being read from the module. The channel Status Mode disables the normal data input mode and reports the status on the selected group of eight channels. The channel status bits echo back the selected input range data format and error status. See description under “Status Mode operation.”

3x+8 Out of Range Error: Bits 1-8
These eight bits indicate that an over or under range condition exists on at least one channel within the group. Bits 1-8 correspond to eight groups of four channels each. When an Out of Range Flag is set, the Channel Status mode (see Section 4.3) can be enabled to report which channel is out of range.
+ Note: An over range error indicates that a channel input is a value greater than or equal to the
maximum for the range selected for that channel group. An under range error indicates that a channel input is a value less than or equal to the minimum for the selected range.
3x+8 Reserved: Bit 9
Bit 9 should always respond with a “0.”
26
3x+8 Configuration Error: Bit 10
An illegal configuration was attempted. When this occurs configuration will not be accepted by the module and this flag will be set. By using 4x register bits 1 and 2 to set the module to “status” individual channels flags can be checked to determine which channel or group is incorrect.
3x+8 Data Input Mode: Bits 11, 12
The module continuously outputs a group of eight registers worth of data. The data for a given group can be paged between three modes. These are the standard channel input data, channel status data or Time stamp data.

4.3 Channel Status (Registers 3x+ 0 through 3x+7)
As described in Section 2.5, register 4x bits 1and 2 can be set to allow monitoring of individual channel status (set to “0” and “1” respectively). You will then be displaying eight channels of status information. As described below, bits 1-4 provide four different pieces of error informa­tion specific to that input channel. Bits 5-11 merely confirm what setup has been created for that feature in configuration register 4x. Bits 12-16 will indicate what channel’s status is being displayed.

32-Channel Analog Input Module Quantum Series 140 AxI 05x 00sc
Before installing the module, you should:
• Configure all of the appropriate zoom screen, configuration and other necessary set up according to Chapters 2 and 3.
• Field wire the module’s terminal block for your application.
For field wiring, use shielded, twisted-pair cable (such as Belden 9418 for voltage and current applications), and ground each cable’s shield wire at one end only. At the opposite end of each cable, tape the exposed shield wire to insulate it from electrical contact. A good shield wire ground is a rack assembly mounting bolt or stud.
5.1 Field Wiring
+ Note: In the process of wiring the modules, route all signal wires as far as possible from potential
sources of electrical noise, such as motors, transformers, etc., (especially ac devices). As a general rule, allow 15.2 cm (6 in) of separation for every 120V of power. Signal wires must never share the same conduit with ac wiring. Also, when you must route signal wires past ac wiring, do so at right angles.

5.3 Differential Field wiring
Differential mode performs a software difference of two consecutive channel inputs, and reports the data on the first channel register of the pair. The second channel’s output is zero. The data acquisition between the two channels is not synchronized so common mode noise on the signal pair may not be fully removed, however DC offsets should be compen­sated for correctly.
+ Note: The channel pairs are not being measured simultaneously , this could lead to an error in the
actual differential value that is calculated.

Chapter 6 APPLICATION NOTES
6.1 General Application Tips
• Select the appropriate 140 AxI 05X 00sc from the I/O map selection screen.
• Configure the module using your programming software, make appropriate use of Configuration and Status registers as outlined in Chapters 2 through 4.
• Ensure correct units of measure are selected for data type.
• Use the lowest filter frequency setting possible for your applica­tion, this ensures the most stable and accurate readings.
• Configure the 4x Register.
• Check that the Green Ready LED is lit when the module is powered up and has completed its self test.
• Check that the Green Active LED is lit when data is being transferred to the Quantum CPU.
37
6.2 Demultiplexing Channel Data - Autosequence Mode
The autosequence mode of operation is intended to simplify the demultiplexing of channel data from the eight input registers into storage for the 32 channels. The Autosequence Mode is enabled under the following conditions:
• Input Mode = Data Mode (Configuration Word Bits 11 & 12 = 0)
• Autosequence Disable is not active (Configuration Word Bit 10 = 0)
In the autosequence mode, the group select bits in the configuration word are ignored. Instead, the module samples channel data in groups of eight (8), presents the data to the PLC and then scans the next group automati­cally.
Scan
Channels 1-8 3x+0 to 3x+7
38
Module Status 3x+8
Channels 9-16 3x+0 to 3x+7
Module Status 3x+8
Channels 17-24 3x+ 0 to 3x+7
Module Status 3x+8
Channels 25-32 3x+0 to 3x+7
Module Status 3x+8
The module update rate is determined by the number of channels enabled and the filter frequencies selected. For example, if all 32 channels are enabled and the filter frequency for all groups is 60 Hz, then the cycle time for a full set of 32 channels is 32 x 58 msec or 1.856 seconds.
It takes four ladder logic scans of the eight registers to see all 32 chan­nels. These four scans must be completed at least twice as fast as the module update time to ensure no data is missed. In the example above the ladder scan time would need to run at 1.856 sec/8 or 232 msec or faster to ensure no data is missed.
The following ladder logic shows how to move data from the 8 multi­plexed input words to a block of 32 output words starting at location 400101 using the autosequence mode. This example file for use only with Modsoft programming software can be formed on the install disk shipped with your module. The file is under the A:\Programs subdirectory. To install:
1. Insert the install disk into drive A:
2. Copy A:\Programs\QAI32_AC.* C:\Modsoft\Programs
3. Select File QAI32_AC under Modsoft to run. The I/O map is as follows:

6.3 Demultiplexing Channel Data - Manual Mode
Manual mode allows deterministic data acquisition. You may specify the specific group of data you would like to acquire as opposed to the Autosequence Mode which cycles through data blocks. Manual mode
requires that the Autosequence Mode be disabled; Bit 10 = 1.
The following ladder logic shows how to move data from the 8 multi-
plexed input words to a block of 32 output words starting at location 400101 with the manual mode. This example file for use only with Modsoft programming software can be formed on the install disk shipped with your module. The file is under the A:\Programs subdirectory. To install:

6.4 Channel Update Rate
The module’s channel update rate is determined by the filter frequency selection. A lower filter frequency takes longer to update each channel. The following table shows the single channel update rate and 32 channel update rate for each filter frequency.
Filter -3db 1 channel 32 channel
Frequency Frequency Update Time Update time
10 Hz 2.62 Hz 308 ms 9.9 sec 50 Hz 13.1 Hz 68 m s 2.2 sec 60 Hz 15.7 Hz 58 m s 1.9 sec 1K Hz 262 Hz 12 ms 384 ms
+ Note: Channel update time is the time required for the module to acquire an input sign and update
the module’s data registers. The scan rate of the Quantum system will vary with application ladder and system configuration.
+ Note: Periodic system calibration will also effect channel update times for one scan cycle.
6.5 System Resolution and Accuracy
The system resolution listed below is the smallest input signal change that the ADC can detect. The resolution level is affected by the filter fre­quency selected.
Filter ADC Voltage Current
Frequency Resolution Resolution Resolution
10 Hz 22.5 Bits 3 µV 3 NA 50 Hz 20 Bits 19 µV 19 NA 60 Hz 20 Bits 19 µV 19 NA 1K Hz 10.5 Bits 14 mV 14 µA
The resolution levels for the voltage mode and current mode apply to the full scale input ranges.
System accuracy is the total error between an actual input signal level and the module output data value. System accuracy is effected by external wiring, signal noise, filter frequency, calibration, temperature, and output data formats. The table below lists that system accuracy verses temperature for a 10hz filter with periodic calibration enabled.

Chapter 7 TROUBLESHOOTING
7.1 General Information
Review of the Module Setup Procedures in Section 2.1 is recommended prior to following the troubleshooting steps below to help isolate the problem. The troubleshooting guide lists a variety of possible problems. Step through each item on the list and verify whether or not the module is working. If a particular step is not working, follow the corrective action listed.
STEP 1: Check module power and self test.
VERIFY: The controller module’s READY and RUN LED’s are on.
CORRECTIVE ACTION:
• Insure that the rack’s power supply is connected properly and its
PWR OK LED is on.
• Place the controller in run mode by using the Modsoft Start Com-
mand.
• If the rack’s power will not come up, or the system will not go into
run mode, refer to the Quantum Automation Series Hardware Reference Guide for more information.
STEP 2: Check module power and self test.
VERIFY: The module’s green READY LED is on. This indicates that the module has power and has completed it functional self test.
CORRECTIVE ACTION:
• Check rack power, and reinstall the module in the rack.
43
STEP 3: Check the module’s fault LED.
VERIFY: The module’s red FAULT LED is off. This LED indicates a module hardware error.
CORRECTIVE ACTION:
• The module has a fatal hardware error. Contact your local distributor
or Spectrum Controls Customer Satisfaction Group listed at the back of this manual.
The module has a front LED panel that includes 35 LEDs:
Ready LED -
1 Green LED indicates module’s self test has passed and is ready to communicate.
Active LED -
1 Green LED indicates BUS communication is established between the module the rack.
Fault LED -
1 Red LED indicates a module self test error, or fatal H/W error. A blink code will be defined that will indicate the type of self test error. Count the number of blinks before a pause to determine the error code in the table below.
Fault LED Blink Code Blink # Fault
3 DPM T est Error 4 CPU Error 5 Watchdog Timer Error 6 RAM Error 7 Flash EPROM CRC Error 8 Calibration EEPROM Error
Channel LED ­32 Green LEDs indicates the channel is enabled and a valid input signal level is present. The LED is off if the channel is disabled. A blinking LED indicates that the channel has exceeded a range limit.
44
STEP 4: Check the module’s communication status.
VERIFY: The module’s green ACTIVE LED is on. This indicates that the module is communicating properly with the rack.
CORRECTIVE ACTION:
• Set the rack into run mode.
• Reinstall the module in the rack.
STEP 5: Check the module’s health status.
VERIFY: The module is reported as healthy in the Modsoft I/O map Screen. Check to make sure that the module description, slot location, and register assignments are correct. Also, verify that the module is recog­nized and reported as healthy. If an asterisk is present before the module’s name, then the module is not recognized by the rack.
CORRECTIVE ACTION:
• Reinstall the module in the rack.
• Reselect the module in the I/O Map using the <Shift + ?> key. If the
module is not listed, install the Modsoft Runtime files included with your module.
STEP 6: Check the module’s register operation.
VERIFY: The 4X configuration word and the 3X+8 Status word are setup properly. As a quick check, disable all ladder programming and set the 4X register to 0000 Hex and verify that the 3X+8 Status register cycles through the values 0000, 0001, 0010, and 0011 Hex.
CORRECTIVE ACTION:
• Check steps 1 through 6 above and then call Spectrum Controls
