Writing Configuration to and
Reading Status from Your Module
with a Remote I/O Adapter
Chapter Objectives In this chapter, we tell you about:
• configuring your module’s features
• entering your data
• reading data from your module
• read block format
Configuring Your Analog
Module Note: You must use a 1794-ASB series D or later remote I/O adapter to
communicate with the 1793 FLEX Integra analog modules.
Because of the many analog devices available and the wide variety of
possible configurations, you must configure your module to conform to the
analog device and specific application that you have chosen. The module is
configured using a group of data table words that are transferred to the
module using a block transfer write instruction.
The software configurable features available are:
• input/output range selection, including full range and bipolar
• safe state operating value (customer selected analog values the module
will maintain in the event of a network communication error)
Note: PLC-5 family programmable controllers that use 6200 software
programming tools can take advantage of the IOCONFIG utility to
configure these modules. IOCONFIG uses menu-based screens for
configuration without having to set individual bits in particular locations.
Refer to your 6200 software literature for details.
