1756-IT16 Module Tags
This section describes the tags associated with the 1756-IT16 module.
Configuration Tags
The following table describes the Configuration tags associated with the
1756-IT16 module.
Each application’s series of tags varies but no input module application
contains any tags that are not listed here.

Tag Name Data Type Definition Valid Values
RemoteTermination BOOL Indicates CJC Sensor is connected remotely or locally.
• If the CJC sensor if connected remotely, we
recommend that you use an isothermal bar.
With an isothermal bar, the CJC sensor is the same for
all 8 channels.
1492 IFMs use a built-in isothermal bar.
• If the CJC sensor is connected locally, thermal
gradients exist on the RTB because heat rises.
With an RTB, temperature differences exist between
the CJC sensors. Correction factors are applied
internally to account for the differences.
• 0 = CJC sensor is
connected locally via the RTB
• 1 = CJC sensor is connected
remotely (default)
CJDisable BOOL Removes cold junction compensation from Thermocouple
calculations.
By default module configuration, cold junction is
compensated for each Thermocouple channel returning
temperature.
• 0 = CJ compensation enabled
• 1 = No CJ compensation
CJOffset REAL User-defined offset value, measure in temperature units,
to add to the channel’s CJC sensor reading.
Default = 0.0 C
Ch[x].InputRange SINT Channel’s operating range. 4 = -100…100 mV
Ch[x].SensorType SINT Thermocouple sensor type used on the channel. The Input
Type connected to the channel determine the sensor type
• 0 = mV
• 1 = B
• 2 = C
• 3 = E
• 4 = J
• 5 = K
• 6 = N
• 7 = R
• 8 = S
• 9 = T
• 10 = TXK/XK(L)
• 11 = D
Ch[x].NotchFilter SINT Notch Filter removes line noise for the channel.
All channels have the same setting based on Channel 0
For more information on Notch Filter, see page 61
.
Default = 2 (60 Hz)
• 1 = 50 Hz
• 2 = 60 Hz
• 3 = 100 Hz
• 5 = 1000 Hz
• 6 = 20 Hz
• 8 = 500 Hz
• 9 = 5000 Hz
Ch[x].Disable BOOL Disables the channel. • 0 = Enabled (default)
• 1 = Disabled
