1797-IE8H Calibration
Features

The following features are unique to the 1797-IE8H module:

• There are two different values per channel that need to be calibrated:

gain and offset at room temperature (25 °C).

• All values are stored in the I/O module non-volatile EEPROM.
• You can calibrate each channel separately or a specified number of

channels together in respect of one value.

• If an offset value is calibrated, the corresponding gain value is invalid

because the gain value depends on the actual offset value. Therefore, the
gain values have to be calibrated after the offset values.

• After calibration, the actual date must be transmitted to the IOM and

stored in the module non-volatile.

• The whole calibration can be set to default values by sending a reset

command. The default date is Jan,01,2000.

• A specified calibration value can be set to default by sending a reset

command for that channel.

• There is a special command to store the whole calibration data from

RAM to EEPROM within the I/O module.

• If one value, except the calibration date, isn’t calibrated yet, or if you set

one value to default, the I/O module displays a calibration error within
the Real Time Data diagnostic field.
