Output Configuration Tab - 1794-OE8H; 1797-OE8, -OE8H

Use this tab to configure the outputs for the 1794-OE8H, and 1797-OE8 or 1797-OE8H modules. On this tab, you can select the channel you want to configure with the following information.
  • select an Output Mode
  • select an Analog Mode Data Format
  • enable fault detection
  • choose a Fault Mode
    TIP:
    If you selected a Listen-Only communication format when you created the module, this tab is not available.
IMPORTANT:
Some of the configuration information for this module is located in the output module-defined data type and is different than that on an RSLogix 5 system. Since this information is exposed differently in RSLogix 5 and RSLogix 5000 systems, you must remember to verify the configuration information in the output module-defined data type on a RSLogix 5000 system.
In addition, an output module is configured by a controller that establishes a connection as an owner; however, only one owner connection is allowed for output modules. If another controller attempts to establish an owner connection, the connection attempt is rejected.
connection
The link between networks and devices.
Parameters
Output Mode
This feature lets you select whether to have the selected channel act as a normal analog output or as a switched digital output.
Analog Mode Data Format
This feature lets you specify the analog mode data format for all channels. Each output channel pair must be set with a Data Format that represents a current range. This feature is disabled if the Output Mode is digital for the channel pair. The available values are listed in the table below. The default value is 0-20 mA 1000/mA (0 to 22000).

Enable Fault Detection
This feature lets you specify whether the fault detection is enabled or disabled for the selected channel pair. Enabling the fault detection detects wire off/lead breakage. Disabling the fault detection is the default mode.
Fault Mode
Determines the channel (channels 0...3 and 4...7) operation under fault conditions. If latch is ON, the fault is latched until the module Fault Reset is issued at which time the fault is cleared. If the control is OFF (Retry, the default), the channel continues to report faults until the faults are corrected.

    A device that controls machines or processes elements (for example, a programmable controller or relay panel).
  • you have changed the module’s configuration in the software,
when you click the Apply or the OK button, the information is automatically sent to the controller. The controller tries to send the information to the module (if the module’s connection is not inhibited). If you don’t click Apply, your changes are not sent to the controller.
TIP:
The connection to a FLEX I/O module using Rack communication cannot be inhibited. The
Inhibit
check box on the Connection tab is disabled in this case.
