I/O Memory Mapping        Chapter 3
Output Data File
For each module, slot x, words 0…7 in the output data file contain the channel 0 
through channel 7 output data. Word 8 is used to unlatch any alarm condition 
that has been latched. Refer to the Compact Analog I/O User Manual, 
publication number 1769-UM002
 for additional details.
The bits are defined as follows:
• SGN = Sign bit in two’s complement format.
• UU = Unlatch under-range (or low-clamp exceeded) alarm.
• UO = Unlatch over-range (or high-clamp exceeded) alarm.
Configuration Data File
The manipulation of the bits from this file is normally done with programming 
software, such as RSLogix 500, RSLogix 5000, or RSNetWorx for DeviceNet, 
during initial configuration of the system. In that case, graphical screens are 
provided by the programmer to simplify configuration. However, some systems, 
like the 1769-ADN DeviceNet adapter, also allow the bits to be altered as part of 
the control program, using communication rungs. In that case, it is necessary to 
understand the bit arrangement. The channel configuration words, the first two 
words of each eight word group, are described on page 155
. Refer to the Compact 
Analog I/O User Manual, publication number 1769-UM002
 for additional 
details.
