TM
The Micro800
module designed to expand the local I/O capability of Rockwell Automation
Micro850 and Micro870 Systems over its Expansion I/O buses. The minimum
system requirement in which an Expansion I/O Module can be installed is a
Micro850 or Micro870 Controller and a controller power supply.
The number of 2085sc-OF8 modules that can be installed with a Micro850/870
PLC is based on the current controller firmware revision and CCW software
revision.
8-Channel Analog Output Module is an 8-point analog output
General
Description
User’s Manual Pub. 0300308-02 Rev. A
1-2 Chapter 1, Module Overview
The 2085sc-OF8 Expansion I/O module provides current and/or voltage outputs.
The module supports:
• Eight output channels. The module outputs either voltage or current
signals for each channel.
• Current output. When the module receives a new command value from
the output image, the module converts the digital value to an analog
current signal using a Digital to Analog Converter (DAC).
• Voltage output. When the module receives a new command value from
the output image, the module’s circuitry converts the digital value to an
analog voltage signal using a Digital to Analog Converter (DAC).
• Output fault detection.
• Range scaling of output data.
• Over or under voltage detection (from user-defined values).
• Four data formats.
All outputs have fault tolerance and ESD protection to avoid damage to circuitry
on the board. The modules use 50 VAC working Reinforced Insulation between
the output channels and the backplane. Individual channels are not isolated from
each other.
The 2085sc-OF8 module uses a 16-bit digital-to-analog converter to achieve a
16-bit resolution with ±10 V full scale ranges. The module also uses 8 separate
output drivers to provide for either current or voltage output signals on each
channel. Each output channel is individually configured via Rockwell-provided
Connected Component Workbench (CCW) software for Micro850 and Micro870
family controllers or with the Module Configuration Converter (MCC) utility
from Spectrum Controls, Inc.
The module is factory calibrated and tested before shipping. After installation,
the modules begin operation in a default, usable condition. During startup, all
outputs are disabled and off until a valid configuration has been received. Default
configuration is 4 to 20 mA.
The module normally requires no further user intervention. However, if the
module experiences a hard fault condition, you may need to cycle power.

The data format and range parameters in the channel configuration bits determine
the scaling. There are four pre-defined settings:
• Engineering units
• Scaled-for-PID
• Raw/proportional data
• Percent of full range
Channels are wired as outputs. This module can detect open circuit current loop
on each channel in current mode, short on an output pin in voltage mode, and
over temperature conditions in both current and voltage modes. Outputs are
protected from electrostatic discharge up to 6 kV for indirect and contact
discharge, 8 kV for air discharge. A load resistance greater than 500 Ohm also
triggers this fault.
A short on an output pin in voltage mode is also detected, and output current is
then limited to less than 15 mA. A load less than 1 kOhm resistance also triggers
this fault.

1.4.3 2.1 LED Operation
A 2085sc-OF8 module with Version 2.1 firmware uses a single, green OK LED
to show power or module operational status:
• When startup is completed, and all internal tests have passed, the LED is
solid GREEN. This indicates RUN mode.
• If the LED remains off, there is an error with the module: it may not have
power or failed to pass the self-test.
• Any time the system is not in Run mode (and showing no faults), the
LED blinks rapidly, indicating the module is Offline. All inputs and
outputs are disabled in this instance.
The LED identifies different conditions using specific, numeric, blink patterns.
The module blinks a specific number of times, pauses, and then repeats the same
blink pattern indefinitely. Blink codes are shown in the following table.

Overview and
Module Operation
The 2085sc-OF8 module is expected to operate indefinitely. It does not require
periodic maintenance or calibration. The 24 VDC field power supply must be
present to allow for outputs from the module channels.
WARNING
Hazard of damage to module.
When multiple channels are configured in voltage mode, and an external
24 V power source is applied to the channels via the terminal block, there
is the possibility that the module will be damaged if multiple channels
simultaneously experience over voltage conditions.
This is because the heating caused by the overvoltage condition will apply
to a very small area and may result in damage to that area.
The module communicates to the controller through the bus interface. The
module also receives 5 and 24 VDC through the bus interface.

2.3.2Prevent Electrostatic Discharge
WARNING
WARNING
Electrostatic discharge can damage integrated circuits or semiconductors if
you touch analog module card bus connector pins or the terminal block on
the output module. Follow these guidelines when you handle the module:
• Touch a grounded object to discharge static potential.
• Wear an approved wrist-strap grounding device.
• Do not touch the bus connector or connector pins.
• Do not touch circuit components inside the module.
• If available, use a static-safe work station.
When it is not in use, keep the module in its static-shield bag.
2.3.3 Remove Power
This module is not designed to be hot-swapped and may be damaged
if added or removed while power is applied. Remove power before
removing or inserting this module.
When you 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 hazardous environment.
• Causing an electrical arc. Electrical arcing causes excessive wear
to contacts on both the module and its mating connector and may
lead to premature failure.
2.3.4 Selecting a Location
Reducing Noise
Most applications require installation in an industrial enclosure to reduce the
effects of electrical interference. Analog channels are highly susceptible to
electrical noise. Electrical noise coupled to the analog channels will reduce the
performance (accuracy) of the module. Group your modules to minimize adverse
effects from radiated electrical noise and heat. Consider the following conditions
when selecting a location for the analog module. Position the module:
• Away from sources of electrical noise such as hard-contact switches,
relays, and AC motor drives.
• Away from modules which generate significant radiated heat. Refer to
the module’s heat dissipation specification.
In addition, route shielded, twisted-pair analog input wiring away from any high
voltage I/O wiring.

NOTE
The module expansion may only be mounted horizontally.
For environments with greater vibration and shock concerns, use the panel
mounting method, instead of DIN rail mounting.
Mounting Dimensions and DIN Rail Mounting
You can install the module on DIN rails of dimension 35 mm × 7.5 mm × 1 mm
(EN 50 022-35×7.5), or on a panel.
WARNING
Hazard of intermittent grounding.
This product is grounded through the DIN rail to chassis ground. To
assure proper grounding, use zinc-plated, yellow-chromate steel DIN
rail. Using other DIN rail materials such as aluminum or plastic, that
can corrode, oxidize, or are poor conductors, may result in improper
or intermittent grounding.
Use the correct DIN rail type, and secure DIN rail to mounting surface
approximately every 200 mm (7.8 in.) and use end-anchors appropriately.
1. Before mounting the module on a DIN rail, use a flat-bladed screwdriver
in the DIN rail latch and pry it downwards until it is in the unlatched
position.
2. Hook the top of the DIN rail mounting area of the module onto the DIN
rail, and then press the bottom until the module snaps onto the DIN rail.

Introduction
Chapter 3
Configuring the 2085sc-OF8
Using CCW
This chapter covers the following subjects:
• How to use Connected Components Workbench (CCW) and, optionally,
ModuleConfigConverter.exe software to configure the Module.
• Analog Data and Status settings.
• Data Links settings.
• Setting configuration parameters and associated values.
You use CCW software (v 9.00.00 and above) to configure the 2085sc-OF8
Expansion I/O Module. Your controller firmware must be at v. 9.011 and above
as well. You then send the configuration setup to the module. Starting from CCW
version 11.00.00 and later, the software provides a module-specific Add-On
Profile (AOP) to configure the module. The process for manually importing AOP
to CCW is no longer required.
The Micro850/870 Controller (Bus master) subsystem is located at the left end of
the bus. This subsystem is comprised of:
• Micro850/870 Controller.
• 2085 Expansion I/O Modules.
• 2085-ECR Bus Terminator.
Optional:
• 2080-PS120-240VAC Power Supply (separate module or built-in the
main controller).
• 2080 Plug-in Modules.
• 2085-EP24VDC Expansion Power Supply for Micro870 Controller with
more than four 2085 Expansion I/O Modules installed.

The 2085sc-OF8 module status bit definitions are listed below:
Bit Name Description
General Status <channel>
7:0 S<n>
8 FP
General status bit. If a bit is set (1) then there is an error associated with that
channel (check Status bits for the indicated channel).
Bit 0 = Channel 0, Bit 1 = Channel 1 etc.
Field Power Fault
When set, 24 VDC field power is over-voltage or under-voltage.
The user-specified voltage range is 20.4 V ~ 26.4 V. The module can operate
outside of this range but will disable outputs when the voltage is outside of
maximum and minimum values. There is no guarantee that outputs will perform
as specified when outside the user-specified range.
When the Field Power drops from normal operating range to a value below 18.7
volts, outputs are disabled and this flag set. There is no guarantee at which
voltage below 18.7 will set this bit.
When Field Power is applied, the FP bit is cleared, and outputs enabled when
the voltage is greater than 19.9 V (±0 V) and less than 27.8 V (±1 V).
The FP bit is set, and outputs disabled when Field Power is greater than 28.1 V
(±1 V).

3.5.9 Output Ch<x> (AO_07:00)
This word is read by the module and scaled to the appropriate analog output level
based on the Range and Format setting. It is considered a signed integer with
values ranging from -32768 to +32767.
3.5.10 Unlatch Alarm Bits
When the Alarm Latch configuration setting is enabled for a channel, the Over
Range, Under Range and LD status alarm bits remain set even when the
condition is cleared. The only way to clear the alarm is to set the appropriate
unlatch bit for that channel. Once it has been set, and the alarm condition has
been cleared, the Unlatch bit should be cleared as well to allow subsequent
latching. If the Alarm Latch channel setting is not enabled, these bits are ignored
by the module.
The LD status bit is always active and may be latched and unlatched any time the
Alarm Latch Enable configuration setting is set.

High Clamp Enable
The High Clamp configuration value is used to clamp the maximum output.
The High Clamp configuration value is ignored when this bit is cleared.
9 LCE
10 HCA
11 LCA
Low Clamp Enable
The Low Clamp configuration value is used to clamp the minimum output.
The Low Clamp configuration value is ignored when this bit is cleared.
High Clamp Alarm Enable
This bit is only valid when HCE bit is set. It is ignored when HCE is cleared.
When HCE and HCA are both set, the Over Range Alarm status bit is only set
when the user Output is greater than or equal to the High Clamp value.
When HCE is set and HCA is cleared, the Over Range Alarm is determined by
the High Range value indicated in the Output Range Table. In this case the
Over Range alarm may not be set if the High Clamp value is less than the High
Range value since the final output cannot reach that value due to clamping.
Low Clamp Alarm Enable
This bit is only valid when LCE bit is set. It is ignored when LCE is cleared.
When LCE and LCA are both set, the Under Range Alarm status bit is only set
when the Output is less than or equal to the Low Clamp value
When LCE is set and LCA is cleared, the Under Range Alarm is determined
by the Low Range value indicated in the Output Range Table. In this case the
Under Range alarm may not be set if the Low Clamp value is less than the
Low Range value since the final output cannot reach that value due to
clamping.

High Limit Alarm Enable
This bit is only valid when the HCE bit is cleared. It is ignored when HCE is
set.
When HCE is cleared and HLA set, the Over Range status bit is set when the
12HLA
Output is set to a value greater than or equal to the High Limit value indicated
in the Output Range Table.
When HCE is cleared and HLA cleared, the Over Range Alarm status bit is set
when the Output is set to a value greater than or equal to the High Range value
indicated in the Output Range Table.
Low Limit Alarm Enable
This bit is only valid when the LCE bit is cleared. It is ignored when LCE is
set.
When LCE is cleared and LLA is set, the Under Range Alarm status bit is set
13LLA
when the Output is set to a value less than or equal to the Low Limit value
indicated in the Output Range Table.
When LCE is cleared and LLA is cleared, the Under Range Alarm status bit is
set when the Output is set to a value less than or equal to the Low Range value
indicated in the Output Range Table.
15:14 ALE
Alarm Latch Enable
When this bit is set, the Over Range, Under Range and LD Alarm bits will
remain set even when the Alarm condition is cleared. The Unlatch Alarm bits
for this channel in the Output Table must be set to clear the alarms.
High Clamp, Low Clamp Value
• The High Clamp value will be ignored if HCE is not set.
• The Low Clamp value will be ignored if LCE is not set.
If you set the High or Low Clamp beyond the Limit for the specific
Range/Format setting, the output is internally adjusted to the Limit values. In this
case, the Limit value determines the Over or Under Range Alarm trigger if HCA
or LCA is set respectively (assuming HCE or LCE is set).

3.5.14 Voltage/Current Output
The module has one 8-channel DAC and 8 programmable output drivers. They
are configured and set based on user-configurable parameters.
The final current or voltage output signal is determined by:
• Range
• Data Format
• Output Word
• Operational state of the module:
Regardless of the final scaled value, the output is clipped to a High and Low
Limit based on the following table:
- Run
- Program
- Fault
• The High and Low Range values indicate the intended use of the Range.
• The Current Ranges allow for a 2% overhead at each Range endpoint.
• The Voltage Ranges allow for a 5% overhead at each Range endpoint.
• Ranges with a 0 mA or 0 V Low Range are clipped at 0 mA or 0 V and
do not go negative.
Range Low Limit Low Range High Range High Limit
0 mA ~ 20 mA 0.0 mA 0.0 mA +20.0 mA +20.4 mA
4 mA ~ 20 mA +3.92 mA +4.0 mA +20.0 mA +20.4 mA

3.5.15 User Scaling/Data Format and Range
The meaning of the Output Word of each channel depends on the Range and
Data Format settings.
The Data Format and Range parameters in the channel configuration bits
determine scaling. There are four pre-defined Data Format settings.
The following table shows the pre-defined scaling values and how they match
with the output Analog Signal.
AnalogOutput = UserValue * M + B
See corresponding M and B values in the table below.
