B-2 Replacing 1746-NO4s with 1746-NO8

Module Addressing

Addressing is changed from two modules with 4 channels to one
module with 8 channels. The output addressing is shown below.

Analog Conversion

The following information is provided for reference only; the
1746-NO8 is directly compatible with the 1746-NO4 when used in
Class 1 mode.

The 1746-NO8 converts a 16-bit two’s complement binary value into
an analog output signal using a 16-bit converter.

In 1746-NO4 compatible mode (e.g. Class 1), the 14 most significant
bits are used, as the 1746-NO4 uses a 14 bit converter.

The following tables identify the current and voltage output ranges for
the output channels, and their resolution when using 1746-NO4
compatible mode.
