Chapter 6 Calibrate the Module
Differences for Each
Channel Type The procedures for calibrating input and output channels on the ControlLogix
high-speed analog I/O module vary slightly:
• For input channels, you use a voltage calibrator to send a signal to the
module to calibrate it.
• For output channels, you use a digital multimeter (DMM) to measure the
signal the module is sending out.
See the recommended instruments to use for each channel below.
You must be online to calibrate your high-speed analog I/O module.
When you are online, you can choose either Program or Run Mode as your
program state during calibration. We recommend that you change your controller
to Program mode before beginning calibration.

IMPORTANT Before beginning calibration, make sure the module is not actively controlling
a process. The module freezes the state of each channel and does not update
the controller with new data until after calibration ends. This could be
hazardous if active control were attempted during calibration.
