Rockwell Automation 1794-XXXX FLEX I/O High-Density Analog Modules - Manual (Page 35)

Chapter

Write Configuration to and Read Status from
Your Module
Overview This chapter describes how to configure, read data from, and map data to your
FLEX I/O analog module.
Configure Your Analog
Module 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
• safe state operating value (customer selected analog values the module will
maintain in the event of a network communication error)

ATTENTION: 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.
