Description
Chapter 1
Module Overview
This chapter describes the 1769sc-OF4IH isolated HART analog output module. The
module provides four isolated current outputs with HART communication.
Included is information about:
The module’s hardware and diagnostic features
An overview of the system and module operation
Compatibility
The OF4IH is a four channel isolated module that allows each channel to be configured
independently for either 0 to 20mA or 4 to 20mA with or without HART communication.
The module converts the digital value stored in each channel’s output command word
(i.e. output words 0 to 3) to an analog current signal. If HART is enabled on a specific
channel, the user also has the ability to send and receive HART communication to and
from the connected HART device. HART data is sent and received using the module’s
input and output image table. Over-range/under-range detection and indication is also
provided by the module for each channel..
The table below lists the output ranges for the module.

1.3.1 General Diagnostic Features
The module contains a diagnostic LED that helps you identify the source of problems that
may occur during power-up or during normal channel operation. The LED indicates both
status and power. Power-up and channel diagnostics are explained in Chapter 9
Diagnostics and Troubleshooting.
Section 1.4
System
Overview
The modules communicate to the controller through the bus interface. The modules also
receive 5 and 24V dc power through the bus interface.
1.4.1 System Operation
At power-up, the module performs a check of its internal circuits, memory, and basic
functions. During this time, the module status LED remains off. If no faults are found
during power-up diagnostics, the module status LED is turned on.
After power-up checks are complete, the module waits for valid channel configuration
data. If an invalid configuration is detected, the module generates a configuration error.
Once a channel is properly configured and enabled, it continuously converts the output
command value (i.e. output words 0 to 3) to a proportional analog signal that is within the
output range selected for that channel.
Each time a channel command value is read by the output module, that data value is
tested by the module for an over-range or under-range condition. If such a condition is
detected, a unique bit is set in the channel status word. The channel status word is
described in Section 6.3 Input Data File.
Using the module image table, the controller reads the two’s complement binary
converted input data from the module. This typically occurs at the end of the program
scan or when commanded by the control program. If the controller and the module
determine that the data transfer has been made without error, the data is used in the
control program.

Compact™ IO Isolated HART Analog Output Module

Section 1.5
Module
Operation
When the module receives a new command value from the output image, the module’s
circuitry converts the digital value to an analog current signal using a DAC (Digital to
Analog Converter). The resulting signal is made available for the specific channel via the
removable terminal block. If HART is enabled on a channel, the HART data is acquired
my means of an onboard HART modem.
Note: The HART data is sent and received asynchronously from the analog
acquisition process and therefore does not directly affect the analog update time.

remove or insert a module with power applied, an electrical arc may
occur. An electrical arc can cause personal injury or property damage
by:
Sending an erroneous signal to your system’s field devices,
causing unintended machine motion
Causing an explosion in a ha zardous environment
Electrical arcing causes excessive wear to contacts on both the
module and its mating connector and may lead to premature
failure.
3.3.4 Selecting a Location
Reducing Noise
Most applications require installation in an industrial enclosure to reduce the effects of
electrical interference. Analog outputs are highly susceptible to electrical noise. Electrical
noise coupled to the analog outputs will reduce the performance (accuracy) of the
module.
Group your modules to minimize adverse effects from radiated electrical noise. Consider
the following conditions when selecting a location for the analog modu le. Position the
module:
Away from sources of electrical noise such as hard-contact switches, relays, and AC
motor drives
Away from high voltage conductors
In addition, route shielded, twisted-pair analog input wiring away from any high voltage
I/O wiring.
Reducing Heat
To avoid complications when operating in ambient temperatures in excess of 55 degrees
C, the following recommendations should be followed. Position the module:
Away from heat sources such as transformers, variable frequency drives, and cabinet
heaters.
Avoid installing the module adjacent to modules which generate over 4 W of heat,
such as the 1769-HSC. The table below lists modules which should be avoided if
possible:

!
Attention
Power Supply Distance
You can install as many modules as your power supply can support. However, all 1769
I/O modules have a power supply distance rating. The maximum I/O module rating is 8,
which means that a module may not be located more than 8 modules away from the
system power supply.
Figure 3-1
the table above and the ambient temperature is in excess of 55°C, then
derating of the module is required to avoid thermal shutdown. Assume
the thermal dissipation of the OF4IH to be 2W fixed plus an additional
0.5W per channel. For example, if the OF4IH is to be installed
adjacent to the 1769-HSC, no more than 2 channels should be used on
the OF4IH.

2. Using the assembled modules as a template, carefully mark the center of all module-
mounting holes on the panel.
3. Return the assembled modules to the clean work surface, including any previously
mounted modules.
4. Drill and tap the mounting holes for the recommended M4 or #8 screw.
5. Place the modules back on the panel, and check for proper hole alignment.
6. Attach the modules to the panel using the mounting screws.
NOTE If mounting more modu les, mount only the last one of this group and put the
others aside. This reduces remounting time during drilling and tapping of the next
group.
7. Repeat steps 1 to 6 for any remaining modules.

3.5.3 DIN Rail Mounting
The module can be mounted using the following DIN rails:
35 x 7.5 mm (EN 50 022 - 35 x 7.5), or
35 x 15 mm (EN 50 022 - 35 x 15).
Before mounting the module on a DIN rail, close the DIN rail latches. Press the DIN rail
mounting area of the module against the DIN rail. The latches will momentarily open and
lock into place.
The module can be replaced while the system is mounted to a panel (or DIN rail). Follow
these steps in order:
1. Remove power. See important note at the beginning of this chapter.
2. On the module to be removed, remove the upper and lower mounting screws from
the module (or open the DIN latches using a flat-blade or phillips-style screwdriver).
3. Move the bus lever to the right to disconnect (unlock) the bus.
4. On the right-side adjacent module, move its bus lever to the right (unlock) to
disconnect it from the module to be removed.
5. Gently slide the disconnected module forward. If you feel excessive resistance,
check that the module has been disconnected from the bus, and that both mounting
screws have been removed (or DIN latches opened).
NOTE: It may be necessary to rock the module slightly from front to back to remove it,
or, in a panel-mounted system, to loosen the screws of adjacent modules.
6. Before installing the replacement module, be sure that the bus lever on the module to
be installed and on the right-side adjacent module or end cap are in the unlocked
(fully right) position.
7. Slide the replacement module into the open slot.
8. Connect the modules together by locking (fully left) the bus levers on the
replacement module and the right-side adjacent module.
9. Replace the mounting screws (or snap the module onto the DIN rail).

DIN rail (if used) are not required unless the mounting surface cannot be grounded.
Keep cable shield connections to ground as short as possible.
Ground the shield drain wire at one end only. The typical location is as follows.
If it is necessary to connect the shield drain wire at the module end, connect it to
earth ground using a panel or DIN rail mounting screw.
Refer to Industrial Automation Wiring and Grounding Guidelines, Allen-Bradley
publication 1770-4.1, for additional information.
Noise Prevention
To limit the pickup of electrical noise, keep analog signal wires as far as possible
from power and load lines.
If noise persists for a device, try grounding the opposite end of the cable shield. (You
should only ground one end at a time.)
3.7.2 Terminal Door Label
A removable, write-on label is provided with the module. Remove the label from the
door, mark your unique identification of each terminal with permanent ink, and slide the
label back into the door. Your markings (ID tag) will be visible when the module door is
closed.
3.7.3 Removing and Replacing the Terminal Block
When wiring the module, you do not have to remove the terminal block. If you remove
the terminal block, use the write-on label located on the side of the terminal block to
identify the module location and type.

To remove the terminal block, loosen the upper and lower retaining screws. The terminal
block will back away from the module as you remove the screws. When replacing the
terminal block, torque the retaining screws to 0.46 Nm (4.1 in-lbs).
3.7.4 Wiring the Finger-Safe Terminal Block
When wiring the terminal block, keep the finger-safe cover in place.
1. Loosen the terminal screws to be wired.
2. Route the wire under the terminal pressure plate. You can use the bare wire or a
spade lug. The terminals accept a 6.35 mm (0.25 in.) spade lug.
NOTE: The terminal screws are non-captive. Therefore, it is possible to use a ring lug
[maximum 1/4 inch o.d. with a 0.139 inch minimum i.d. (M3.5)] with the module.
3. Tighten the terminal screw making sure the pressure plate secures the wire.
Recommended torque when tightening terminal screws is 0.68 Nm (6 in-lbs).
NOTE: If you need to remove the finger-safe cover, insert a screwdriver into one of the
square, wiring holes and gently pry the cover off. If you wire the terminal block with
the finger-safe cover removed, you may not be able to put it back on the terminal block
because the wires will be in the way.
Wire Size and Terminal Screw Torque
Each terminal accepts up to two wires with the following restrictions:

Compact IO™ Isolated HART Analog Output Module
To wire your module follow these steps.
1. At each end of the cable, strip some casing to expose the individual wires .
2. Trim the signal wires to 2-inch (5 cm) lengths. Strip about 3/16 inch (5 mm) of
insulation away to expose the end of the wire.
Be careful when stripping wires. Wire fragments that fall into a module
!
Attention
could cause damage at power up.
3. At one end of the cable, twist the drain wire and foil shield together, bend them away
from the cable, and apply shrink wrap. Then earth ground at the preferred location
based on the type of sensor you are using. See Grounding for more details.
4. At the other end of the cable, cut the drain wire and foil shield back to the cable and
apply shrink wrap.
5. Connect the signal wires to the terminal block. Connect the other end of the cable to
the analog output device.
6. Repeat steps 1 through 5 for each channel on the module.

Chapter 4
Configuring the OF4IH for
CompactLogix Using
RSLogix 5000
This chapter explains how to incorporate the OF4IH module into a CompactLogix system
using RSLogix 5000 programming software . The process of incorporating your HART
module into the CompactLogix system is similar to the process needed to add an AllenBradley module. You will use your RSLogix 5000 programming software to install and
configure your HART module.
An Add-On profile is available on our website to ease the installation of the module, if
you choose not to use the generic module profile. The Ad d -O n pr ofi l e d o wnload also
includes an RSLogix 5000 sample project demonstrating how to read and write HART
data to and from each channel. The sample project contains user defined data types,
configuration tags, input tags, output tags, and ladder samples needed to configure each
HART module. The topics discussed in this chapter include:
Setting up the generic profile
Using the Add-On profile
Understanding user defined dat a types
Adding the controller and program tags
Using the provided ladder sample
Section 4.1
Setting up the
Generic Profile
The generic profile defines the module for the CompactBus, so that the right number of
input, output and configuration words are reserved . To configure the generic profile you
can use the profile already created in the sample project, see Figure 4-1, or follow the
procedures outlined below.
