Hardware Specifications and Considerations Chapter 3
If Integer Configuration: Communication Format is Integer Data or CST Timestamped Integer
Data
Set bit 7 of the channels ChxRangeNotch configuration tag for each channel
that uses an external loop power source. This bit was previously ignored by the
IF6CIS.
IMPORTANT For a Communication Format of CST Timestamped Integer Data or Integer
Data:
If you change anything on the IF6CIS Configuration Tab and hit apply, it is
possible that the IF6CIS will not see the ChxRangeNotch bit 7 as set. To
remedy this, you must do one of the following: RIUP the module, issue a
Module Reconfigure MSG, Issue a CIP Generic Device Reset MSG, or Inhibit
and Uninhibit the IF6CIS after any applied Configuration Tab changes.
WARNING: The 1756-IF6CIS module, when used for sourcing, has a sourcing
voltage maximum of 30V DC and a sourcing current maximum of 30 mA. The
1756-IF8I module, when used for sourcing, has a sourcing voltage maximum
of 38V DC and a sourcing current maximum of 45 mA. Be sure to verify that
this specification difference does not conflict with your end device to avoid
damage to the device.
