How FLEX I/O Analog FLEX I/O thermocouple/mV modules are block transfer modules
Modules Communicate that interface analog signals with any Allen-Bradley programmable
with Programmable controllers that have block transfer capability. Block transfer
Controllers programming moves input or output data words between the
modules memory and a designated area in the processor data table.
Block transfer programming also moves configuration words from
the processor data table to module memory.

1. Rotate the keyswitch (1) on the terminal base unit (2) clockwise
to position 3 as required for the thermocouple/mV module.
2. Make certain the flexbus connector (3) is pushed all the way to
the left to connect with the neighboring terminal base/adapter.
You cannot install the module unless the connector is fully
extended.
3. Before installing the module, check to make sure that the pins on
the bottom of the module are straight so they will align properly
with the female connector in the base unit.
4. Position the module (4) with its alignment bar (5) aligned with
the groove (6) on the terminal base.
5. Press firmly and evenly to seat the module in the terminal base

Block transfer read (BTR) programming moves status and data from
the module to the processors data table. The processor user program
initiates the request to transfer data from the module to the processor.
The transferred words contain module status, channel status and
input data from the module.
Your program should monitor status bits and block transfer read
activity.

32 Module Programming
Sample programs for The following sample programs show you how to use your analog
FLEX I/O Analog Modules module efficiently when operating with a programmable controller.
PLC-3 Programming
Block transfer instructions with the PLC-3 processor use one binary
file in a data table section for module location and other related data.
This is the block transfer control file. The block transfer data file
stores data that you want transferred to your module (when
programming a block transfer write) or from your module (when
programming a block transfer read). The address of the block
transfer data files are stored in the block transfer control file.
The same block transfer control file is used for both the read and
write instructions for your module. A different block transfer
control file is required for every module.

The PLC-5 program is very similar to the PLC-3 program with the
following exceptions:
1. Block transfer enable bits are used instead of done bits as the
conditions on each rung.
2. Separate block transfer control files are used for the block
transfer instructions.

Writing Configuration to and
Reading Status from your
Module with a Remote I/O
Adapter
Configuring Your Because of the wide variety of possible configurations, you must
Thermocouple/mV Module configure your module to conform to the 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.
Range Selection Individual input channels are configurable to operate with the
following sensor types:
Input Scaling Scaling lets you report each channel in actual engineering units.
Scaled values are in integer format.
You select input scaling using the designated words of the write
block transfer instruction. Refer to the Bit/Word description for write
word 0, bits 00 and 01.
Hardware First Notch Filter A hardware filter in the analog to digital converter lets you select a
frequency for the first notch of the filter. Selection of the filter
influences the analog to digital output data rate and changes the
module throughput. Module throughput is a function of the number
of inputs used and the first notch filter. Both of these influence the
time from a thermocouple input to arrival at the backplane.
Reading Data From Your Read programming moves status and data from the thermocouple
Module input module to the processors data table. The processors user
program initiates the request to transfer data from the
thermocouple/mV input module to the processor.
Mapping Data for the The following read and write words and bit/word descriptions
Analog Modules describe the information written to and read from the
thermocouple/mV input module. The module uses up to 11 words of
input image and up to 3 words of output image. Each word is
composed of 16 bits.

Offset Calibration
Gain Calibration
Calibrating Your The following procedure assumes that you are using
Thermocouple/mV Module DeviceNetManager software (cat. no. 1787-MGR) and have the
using DeviceNetManager thermocouple/mV module installed in a working system.
Software
(Cat. No. 1787-MGR) Offset Calibration
Inputs can be calibrated one at a time or all at once. To calibrate the
offsets for all inputs at once, proceed as follows:
Gain Calibration
Make sure that you have calibrated the offset for this channel before
calibrating the gain.
