2 Compact™ Analog I/O and Temperature Input Modules

1769 Compact I/O System Features and Benefits

Rackless I/O provides many features and benefits. Since there is no rack to size (or buy!) this expansion platform grows to meet the requirements of your application. No other PLC-style system provides rackless I/O with front insertion and removal. Front insertion and removal speeds initial system assembly and module replacement. There is no need to buy separate parts such as module-to-module bus connectors or mounting plates.

High intensity amber LEDs indicate the status of each I/O point. LEDs illuminate to assist you in troubleshooting when the proper signal is received at an input terminal, or when power is applied to an output terminal.

Terminal identification diagrams on each module. Terminal identification diagrams are located on each module, making terminal identification easier.

Barrier-type terminal blocks provided on all modules. Each terminal block features a barrier on three sides of each terminal to help prevent accidental shorting of field wiring.

Module terminal blocks have finger-safe covers. This style of terminal block meets U.S. and European market needs.

The module door holds a write-on label. The clear door and removable label allow you to put your own unique I/O information (I/O Tag) on the label and view it with the door closed.

Modules have upper and lower panel mounting tabs, as well as latches for DIN rail mounting. Upper and lower panel mounting tabs and DIN latches allow true front insertion and removal. DIN rail or panel mounting capability meets the needs of a world-wide market.

A color bar is provided on the front of the module. Modules are color coded according to voltage level and input or output function for quick identification.

Digital and field circuits are optically isolated. All modules feature isolation between digital and field circuits, resulting in increased noise immunity and limited damage to your system due to an electrical malfunction of the field device.

All modules carry certification by UL and C-UL. Certification includes Class I, Division 2 Hazardous Location, Groups A, B, C, D. All modules are also CE compliant for all applicable directives

Unique Hardware Design Provides Fast, Reliable Assembly

Control System Interface Capabilities

The flexibility of 1769 Compact I/O is such that it can be used with several different Allen-Bradley control systems.

Upper and lower tongue-and-groove slots guide the module during installation and secure the module within the system. Modules can be installed or replaced from the front without dismantling the system.

Once the modules are locked together, the system becomes a rugged assembly. The entire assembly can be handled as a unit until it is panel or DIN rail mounted.

Removable terminal blocks help ease the wiring task. Removable terminal blocks allow you to replace the module without rewiring it.Self-lifting field-wire pressure plates cut installation time. Wiring terminals have self-lifting pressure plates to secure two #14 AWG field wires.

The patented bus connector with locking function ensures reliable module and system communication. The lever of the bus connector has a mechanical detent that latches and locks the lever in place. This system provides superior performance in vibration sensitive applications.

4 Features and Benefits Common to Analog, Thermocouple and RTD Modules

Features and Benefits Common to Analog, Thermocouple and RTD Modules

All of the modules listed in this publication share the following common features:

Individually configurable channels. Allows the module to be used with a variety of sensors.

Ability to individually enable and disable channels. Disabling unused channels improves module performance.

On-board scaling. Eliminates the need to scale the data in the controller. Controller processing time and power are preserved for more important tasks, such as I/O control, communications, or other user-driven functions.

Selectable input filters. Allows you to select from several different filter frequencies for each channel that best meet the performance needs of your application based on environmental limitations. Lower filter settings provide greater noise rejection and resolution. Higher filter settings provide faster performance. Note: The analog modules provide four input filter selections; RTD and thermocouple modules provide six.

On-line configuration. Modules can be configured in the RUN mode using the programming software or the control program. Allows you to change configuration while the system is operating. For example, the input filter for a particular channel could be changed, or a channel could be disabled based on a batch condition. To use this feature, be sure that the controller or 1769 bus master allows you to do this.

Autocalibration of inputs. The input modules perform autocalibration when a channel is initially enabled. In addition, if a channel is configured differently than the previously scanned channel, an autocalibration cycle is run as part of the reconfiguration process. You can also program the module to perform a periodic calibration cycle.

Over and under-range detection and indication. Eliminates the need to test values in the control program, saving valuable processing power of the controller. In addition, since alarms are handled by the module, the response is faster and only a single bit needs to be monitored to determine if an error condition has occurred.

Selectable response to broken input sensor. This feature provides feedback to the controller that a field device is not connected or operating properly. Allows you to specify corrective action based on the bit or channel condition.

1769 Analog I/O Modules Features and Benefits

In addition to the common features discussed on page 4, the Compact analog I/O modules provide the following features and benefits:

Selectable power source. Allows you to switch from system bus power to an external 24V dc Class 2 power supply to conserve the 24V dc power in the system. This may result in an overall cost savings.

Interface with single-ended or differential inputs. Single-ended voltage sensors reduce costs. Differential inputs are more expensive, but are typically more noise immune. The input module allows both types. Use the one suited to the installation environment.

Ability to direct output device operation during an abnormal condition. Each channel of the output module can be individually configured to hold its last value or assume a user-defined value on either a run-to-program or run-to-fault condition. This feature allows you to set the condition of your analog devices, and therefore your control process, which may help to ensure a reliable shutdown.

Accurate. The modules share a high accuracy rating of ±0.35% of full-scale accuracy in the current mode. In the voltage mode, the 1769-IF4 provides ±0.2 and the 1769-OF2 ±0.5% of full-scale accuracy at 25°C.

General Description

Compact I/O offers two analog I/O choices:

• 1769-IF4 – 4-channel current or voltage input

• 1769-OF2 – 2-channel current or voltage output

The 1769-IF4 analog input module converts and digitally stores analog data for retrieval by controllers. The module supports connections from any combination of up to four voltage or current analog sensors.

The 1769-OF2 output module provides two single-ended analog output channels, each individually configurable for voltage or current.

Data Formats

The data can be configured on board each module as:

• Engineering Units in volts or milliamps

• Scaled-for-PID

• Percent of range

• Raw/Proportional Data for maximum resolution

Module Operation

Input Module

The input module’s input circuitry consists of four differential analog inputs multiplexed into a single analog-to-digital (A/D) converter. The A/D converter reads the selected input signal and converts it to a digital value which is presented to the controller. The multiplexer sequentially switches each input channel to the module’s A/D converter.

Output Module

The output module uses a digital-to-analog (D/A) converter to read the digital output data from the controller and convert it to an analog output signal.

Over-Range Flag Bits (word 1, bits O0 and O1)

Over-range bits for channels 0 and 1 are contained in word 1, bits 14 and 12. When set, the over-range bit indicates that the controller is attempting to drive the analog output above its normal operating range. However, the module continues to convert analog output data to a maximum full range value. The bit is automatically reset (0) by the module when the over-range condition is cleared.

Under-Range Flag Bits (word 1, bits U0 and U1)

Under-range bits for channels 0 and 1 are contained in word 1, bits 15 and 13. When set (1), the under-range bit indicates that the controller is attempting to drive the analog output below its normal operating range. However, the module continues to convert analog output data to a minimum full range value. The bit is automatically reset (0) by the module when the under-range condition is cleared.

General Status Bits (word 0, bits S0 and S1)

Word 0, bits 0 and 1 contain the general status information for output channels 0 and 1. If set (1), these bits indicate an error associated with that channel.

Output Data Loopback/Echo (words 2 and 3)

Words 2 and 3 provide output loopback/data echo through the input array for channels 0 and 1, respectively. The value of the data echo is the analog value currently being converted on-board the module by the D/A converter. This ensures that the logic-directed state of the output is true. Otherwise, the state of the output could vary depending on controller mode.

Under normal operating conditions, the data echo value is the same value that is being sent from the controller to the output module. Under abnormal conditions, the values may differ. For example:

1. During run mode, the control program could direct the module to a value over or under the defined full range. In that case, the module raises the over- or under-range flag and continues to convert and data echo up to the defined full range. However, upon reaching either the maximum upper or lower full range value, the module stops converting and echoes back that maximum upper or lower full range value, not the value being sent from the controller.

2. During program or fault mode with Hold Last State or User-Defined Value selected, the module echoes the hold last value or alternate value as selected by the user.

Channel Configuration

The configuration file is typically modified using the programming software configuration screen. The configuration file can also be modified through the control program, if supported by the controller.

Module Diagnostics

The 1769-IF4 and 1769-OF2 modules contain diagnostic features that can help you identify the source of problems that may occur during power-up or during normal channel operation.

Module-level operation includes functions such as powerup, configuration, and communication with a bus master, such as a MicroLogix 1500 controller. Channel-level operation describes channel-related functions, such as data conversion and over- and under-range detection.

Internal diagnostics are performed at both levels of operation and any error conditions detected are immediately indicated by the module status LED. Both module hardware and channel configuration error conditions are reported to the controller.

PowerUp Diagnostics

At module powerup, a series of internal diagnostic tests is performed. If any test fails, the status LED remains off, a modules error results and is reported to the controller.

Channel Diagnostics

When a channel is enabled, a diagnostic check is performed to verify that the channel has been properly configured. In addition, the channel is tested for out-of-range and open-circuit faults on every scan for configuration errors, over- and under-range, open-circuit (4 to 20 mA input only), and output wire broken/high load resistance (output only) conditions.

A failure of any channel diagnostic test causes the faulted channel LED to blink. Channel faults are self-clearing, and the channel LED will stop blinking and resume steady illumination when the fault conditions are removed.

18 1769-IT6 Thermocouple Input Module

1769-IT6 Thermocouple Input Module

Features and Benefits

In addition to the common features discussed on page 4, the Compact thermocouple input module provides the following features and benefits:

Direct interface to thermocouple and millivolt inputs. Reduces system cost and increases reliability by eliminating thermocouple-to-analog transmitters. Also eliminates any inaccuracy that may be introduced by using a transducer.

Individual channels can interface with all three thermocouple wiring configurations. The module can interface with either grounded, exposed and shielded (ungrounded) thermocouple types on a per-channel basis. Multiple grounded thermocouples can be used on a single module, as long as the ground potentials are within 10 volts of each other. This feature allows you to interface with various sensors and reduce spare parts inventory.

Ability to mix different thermocouple types and millivolt sensors on a single module. Each channel of the module can use a different type of thermocouple or millivolt sensor. Reduces the need to stock specialized modules for different sensor types and eliminates the need to become familiar with each of those different modules.

Compatible with the same types of thermocouples as SLC 500 and ControlLogix thermocouple modules. Saves system costs if you change from a different type of Allen-Bradley controller and associated I/O.

General Description

The thermocouple/mV input module supports thermocouple and millivolt signal measurement. It digitally converts and stores thermocouple and/or millivolt analog data from any combination of up to six thermocouple or millivolt analog sensors. Each input channel is individually configurable via software for a specific input device, data format and filter frequency, and provides open-circuit, over-range and under-range detection and indication.

20 1769-IT6 Thermocouple Input Module

Hardware Features

The module contains a removable terminal block. Channels are wired as differential inputs. Two cold junction compensation (CJC) sensors are attached to the terminal block to enable accurate readings from each channel. These sensors compensate for offset voltages introduced into the input signal as a result of the cold-junction where the thermocouple wires are connected to the module.

Module Operation

When the module receives a differential input from an analog device, the module’s circuitry multiplexes the input into an A/D converter. The converter reads the signal and converts it as required for the type of input. The module also continuously samples the CJC sensors and compensates for temperature changes at the terminal block cold junction, between the thermocouple wire and the input channel. The block diagram is shown below.

Each channel can receive input signals from a thermocouple or millivolt analog input device, depending upon how you configured the channel.

When configured for thermocouple input types, the module converts the analog input voltages into cold-junction compensated and linearized digital temperature readings. The module uses the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) ITS-90 standard for linearization for all thermocouple types (J, K, T, E, R, S, B, N, C).

When configured for millivolt inputs, the module converts the analog values directly into digital counts.

Module Data, Status, and Channel Configuration

1769-IT6 Input Data File

The input data table allows you to access module read data for use in the control program, via word and bit access. The data table structure is shown in table below.

Input Data Values

Data words 0 through 5 correspond to channels 0 through 5 and contain the converted analog input data from the input device. The most significant bit, bit 15, is the sign bit (SGN).

General Status Bits (word 6, bits S0 to S7)

Bits S0 through S5 of word 6 contain the general status information for channels 0 through 5, respectively. Bits S6 and S7 contain general status information for the two CJC sensors. If set (1), these bits indicate an error. To receive valid status information, the channel must be enabled.

Open-Circuit Flag Bits (word 6, bits OC0 to OC7)

Bits OC0 through OC5 of word 6 contain open-circuit error information for channels 0 through 5, respectively. Errors for the CJC sensors are indicated in OC6 and OC7. The bit is set (1) when an open-circuit condition exists.

Over-Range Flag Bits (word 7, bits O0 to O7)

Over-range bits for channels 0 through 5 and the CJC sensors are contained in word 7, even-numbered bits. When set (1), the over-range flag bit indicates an input signal that is at the maximum of its normal operating range. The module automatically resets (0) the bit when the data value falls below the maximum for that range.

Publication 1769-TD004A-EN-P - March 2001

1769-IT6 Thermocouple Input Module 23

Under-Range Flag Bits (word 7, bits U0 to U7)

Under-range bits for channels 0 through 5 and the CJC sensors are contained in word 7, odd-numbered bits. When set (1), the under-range flag bit indicates an input signal that is at the minimum of its normal operating range. The module automatically resets (0) the bit when the under-range condition is cleared.

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 Diagnostics

At module power-up, a series of internal diagnostic tests are performed. If these diagnostic tests are not successfully completed, the module status LED remains off and a module error is reported to the controller.

Channel Diagnostics

When an input channel is enabled, the module performs a diagnostic check to see that the channel has been properly configured. In addition, the channel is tested on every scan for configuration errors, over-range and under-range, and open-circuit conditions.

1769-IR6 RTD/Resistance Input Module

Features and Benefits

In addition to the common features discussed on page 4, the Compact RTD input module provides the following features and benefits:

Direct interface to Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTDs) and resistance inputs. Reduces system cost and increases reliability by eliminating expensive RTD-to-analog transmitters. Also eliminates any inaccuracy that may be introduced by using a transducer.

Individual channels can interface with all three RTD wiring configurations. The module can interface with 2, 3, or 4-wire RTDS on a per-channel basis. The different wiring configurations allow you to select the RTD that best suits your cost and accuracy targets. This feature allows you to interface with various sensors and reduce spare parts inventory.

Ability to mix different RTD types and resistance sensors on a single module. Each channel of the module can use a different type of RTD or resistance sensor. Reduces the need to stock specialized modules for different sensor types and eliminates the need to become familiar with each of those different modules.

Compatible with the same RTD types as SLC 500 and ControlLogix thermocouple modules. Saves system costs if you change from a different type of Allen-Bradley controller and associated I/O.

Two RTD excitation current selections, configurable per channel. Applying the appropriate current reduces RTD self-heating and improves accuracy.

1769-IR6 RTD/Resistance Input Module 29

RTD Data Formats

The following data formats are supported by the module.:

• engineering units x 1 (in 0.1°C, 0.1°F or 0.1Ω)

• engineering units x 10 (in 1.0°C, 1.0°F or 1.0Ω)

• scaled-for-PID

• percent full scale

• raw/proportional

Hardware Features

Each channel is individually configurable via software for 2- or 3-wire RTD or direct resistance input devices. Channels are compatible with 4-wire sensors, but the fourth sense wire is not used. Two programmable excitation current values (0.5mA and 1.0mA) are provided, to limit RTD self-heating.

When configured for RTD inputs, the module can convert the RTD readings into linearized digital temperature readings in °C or °F. When configured for resistance analog inputs, the module can convert voltages into linearized resistance values in ohms. The module assumes that the direct resistance input signal is linear prior to input to the module.

IMPORTANT The module accepts input from RTDs with up to 3 wires. If your application requires a 4-wire RTD, one of the two lead compensation wires is not used, and the RTD is treated like a 3-wire sensor. The third wire provides lead wire compensation.

Publication 1769-TD004A-EN-P - March 2001

30 1769-IR6 RTD/Resistance Input Module

Module Operation

As shown in the following block diagram, each input channel of the module consists of an RTD/resistance connection that accepts excitation current; a sense connection that detects lead wire resistance; and a return connection. The signals are multiplexed to an A/D converter that reads the RTD or resistance value and the lead wire resistance.

From the readings taken by the converter, the module returns an accurate temperature or resistance to the controller user program through the microprocessor. The module uses two bidirectional serial ports for communication, each using an optocoupler for isolation. A third optocoupler is used to reset the microprocessor if the module detects a loss of communication.

Wiring RTDs

Three types of RTDs can be connected to the 1769-IR6 module:

• 2-wire RTD, which is composed of an RTD EXC (excitation) lead wire and a RTN (return) lead wire

• 3-wire RTD, which is composed of a Sense and 2 RTD lead wires (RTD EXC and RTN)

• 4-wire RTD, which is composed of a Sense and 2 RTD lead wires (RTD EXC and RTN). The second sense wire from the 4-wire RTD is left open.

1769-IR6 Module Data, Status, and Channel Configuration

Input Data File

The input data table allows you to access RTD input module read data for use in the control program, via word and bit access. The data table structure is shown in table below.

Input Data Values

Data words 0 through 5 correspond to channels 0 through 5 and contain the converted analog input data from the input device.

General Status Flag Bits (word 6, bits S0 to S5)

Bits S0 through S5 of word 6 contain the general status information for channels 0 through 5, respectively. This bit is set (1) when an error (over- or under-range, short-circuit, open-circuit, or input data not valid) exists for that channel.

Open-Circuit Flag Bits (word 6, bits OC0 to OC5)

Bits OC0 through OC5 of word 6 contain open-circuit error information for channels 0 through 5, respectively. For an RTD input, the bits indicate either an open-circuit or short-circuit condition when set (1). For a resistance input, the bits indicate an open-circuit when set (1). Short-circuit detection for direct resistance inputs is not indicated because 0 is a valid number.

Over-Range Flag Bits (word 7, bits O0 to O5)

Over-range bits for channels 0 through 5 are contained in word 7, even-numbered bits. They apply to all input types. When set (1), the over-range flag bit indicates an RTD temperature that is greater than the maximum allowed temperature or a resistance input that is greater than the maximum allowed resistance for the module. The module automatically resets (0) the bit when the data value is again within the normal operating range.

Publication 1769-TD004A-EN-P - March 2001

34 1769-IR6 RTD/Resistance Input Module

Under-Range Flag Bits (word 7, bits U0 to U5)

Under-range bits for channels 0 through 5 are contained in word 7, odd-numbered bits. They apply only to RTD input types. When set (1), the under-range flag bit indicates an RTD temperature that is less than the minimum allowed temperature. The module automatically resets (0) the bit when the data value is again within the normal operating range. There is no under-range error for a direct resistance input, because 0 is a valid number.

Channel Configuration

Normal channel configuration is done using programming software. In that case, it is not necessary to know the meaning of the bit location. However, some systems allow configuration to be changed by the control program, but not all controllers support program access to the configuration file. Refer to your controller’s documentation for details.

Module Diagnostics

The module performs diagnostic operations at both the module level and the channel level. Module-level operations include functions such as power-up, configuration, and communication with a 1769 bus master, such as a MicroLogix 1500 controller, 1769-ADN DeviceNet Adapter or CompactLogix controller.

Channel-level operations describe channel related functions, such as data conversion and over- or under-range detection.

Internal diagnostics are performed at both levels of operation. When detected, module error conditions are immediately indicated by the module status LED. Both module hardware and channel configuration error conditions are reported to the controller. Channel over-range or under-range conditions are reported in the module’s input data table. Module hardware errors are typically reported in the controller’s I/O status file. Refer to your controller manual for details.

Power-up Diagnostics

At module power-up, a series of internal diagnostic tests are performed. These diagnostic tests must be successfully completed or the module status LED remains off and a module error results and is reported to the controller.

Channel Diagnostics

When an input channel is enabled, the module performs a diagnostic check to see that the channel has been properly configured. In addition, the channel is tested on every scan for configuration errors, over-range and under-range, and broken input conditions.
