3-2 Module Data, Status, and Channel Configuration
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 3 correspond to channels 0 through 3 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 (S0 to S4)
Bits S0 through S3 of word 4 contain the general status information for
channels 0 through 3, respectively. Bit S4 contains general status
information for the CJC sensor. If set (1), these bits indicate an error
(over- or under-range, open-circuit or input data not valid condition)
associated with that channel. The data not valid condition is described
below.
Input Data Not Valid Condition
The general status bits S0 to S3 also indicate whether or not the input
data for a particular channel, 0 through 3, is being properly converted
(valid) by the module. This “invalid data” condition can occur (bit set)
when the download of a new configuration to a channel is accepted
by the module (proper configuration) but before the A/D converter
can provide valid (properly configured) data to the MicroLogix 1200
controller. The following information highlights the bit operation of
the Data Not Valid condition.
1. The default and module power-up bit condition is reset (0).
2. The bit condition is set (1) when a new configuration is received
and determined valid by the module. The set (1) bit condition
