1756-IF8 Channel Status Word Bits – Integer Mode

The Channel Status word has the following differences when the 1756-IF16
module is used in integer mode:

• Only Underrange and Overrange conditions are reported by the

module.

• Alarming and Calibration Fault activities are not available, although the

Calibration Fault bit in the Module Fault word activates if a channel is
not properly calibrated.

• There is one, 32-bit Channel Status word for all eight channels.

When the Calibration Fault bit (bit 7) is set in any of the words, the Calibration
Fault bit (bit 9) is set in the Module Fault word. The table lists the conditions
that set each of the words.

Bit

Event that sets this tag

ChxUnderrange

Odd-numbered bits from
31…1 ( bit 31 represents
channel 17).

For a full listing of the
channels these bits
represent, see on

page 88

.

The underrange bit is set when the input signal at the channel is less than or
equal to the minimum detectable signal.

For more information on the minimum detectable signal for each module, see
page 61. This bit also sets the appropriate bit in the Channel Fault word.

ChxOverrange

Even-numbered bits from
30…16 ( bit 30 represents
channel 0).

For a full listing of the
channels these bits
represent, see on page 91.

The overrange bit is set when the input signal at the channel is greater than
or equal to the maximum detectable signal.

For more information on the maximum detectable signal for each module, see

page 61

. This bit also sets the appropriate bit in the Channel Fault word.
