Module Configuration Word
Word 6 of the configuration data file contains the Enable/Disable Cyclic 
Calibration bit.
1769-OA8
The following I/O memory mapping lets you configure the 1769-OA8 module.
Output Module’s Input Data File
For each module, slot x, input data file word 0 contains the state of the module’s 
output data (output data echo) file word 0. During normal operation, these input 
bits represent the logic state that the outputs are directed to by the control 
program. They are also dependent upon these configurations:
• Program mode configuration, if supported by the controller
• Fault mode configuration, if supported by the controller
For the 1769-OA8, bits 8 to 15 are not used.
Program defaults are indicated by 0 values. For example, type J 
thermocouple is the default (no user intervention) thermocouple type.

The output module’s input data file reflects the output data echo of the 
module, not necessarily the electrical state of the output terminals. It 
does not reflect shorted or open outputs.
It is important to use this input word if the controller adapter supports 
the Program mode or Fault mode function, and if it is configured to use 
them.
