Attention: Analog input signals must be within +14.25Vreferenced to module common. If
an input channel exceeds this range, channelĆtoĆchannel crosstalk can cause invalid input
readings and invalid underrange or overrange bits.
NOTE:
The 1771ĆIFE module does not supply loop power for the input device. The user must
supply loop power for loopĆpowered input devices.

Configuring the module for differential inputs does not provide isolation.
The sensor cable must be shielded. The shield must:
•
extend the length of the cable, but be connected only at the 1771
I/O chassis
•
extend up to the point of termination
Important: The shield should extend to the termination point,
exposing just enough cable to adequately terminate the
inner conductors. Use heat shrink or another suitable
insulation where the wire exits the cable jacket.

Tie power supply grounds together to
