Writing Configuration to and
Reading Status from Your
Module with a Remote I/O
Adapter
In this chapter, we tell you about:
• configuring your module’s features
• entering your data
• reading data from your module
• read block format
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, including full range and bipolar
• safe state operating value (customer selected analog values the
module will maintain in the event of a network communication
error)
Note: 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.
