Configuration Tab 1756-IT6I and IT6I2, integer

Use this tab to configure the 1756-IT6I and 1756-IT6I2 integer, analog input modules.
Use the
Configuration
 tab to:
  • Select the channel to configure
  • Select an input range
  • Select a notch filter frequency
  • Enter a real time sample period
    TIP:
    The module’s configuration information is stored in the controller and the controller configures the
    controller
    A device that controls machines or processes elements (for example, a programmable controller or relay panel).
    module.
    module
    A device, typically an I/O device, that communicates with the controller. The controller, a particular 1756-IB16I or a PanelView are all considered modules.
Parameters
Input Range
Select the operating range of a specific channel.
  • -12 to 78mV
  • -12 to 30mV
    • You are online in Program, Remote Program or Remote Run mode and,
    • This controller is the owner controller and,
    • You have changed the module’s configuration in the software,
Notch Filter
Select a frequency. This filter attenuates the selected frequency and its harmonics in the input signal. You can choose the filter frequency to filter out line noise.
RTS (Real Time Sample period)
Enter the time (in milliseconds) to indicate how often the module’s inputs are to be sampled.
There is only one RTS for the entire module (you can’t have a different one for each channel).
The RTS period controls how often the module prepares new readings. The Requested Packet Interval (RPI on the Connection tab) controls how often the module sends its current readings to the controller. Generally these two values should be similar so that each reading gets sent to the controller one time.
OK
Select this button to accept your edits on any tab and close the dialog.
Cancel
Select this button to cancel your edits on any tab and close the dialog.
Apply
Select this button to apply your edits on any tab and continue editing.
If:
when you select 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 select Apply, your changes are not sent to the controller.
