Chapter 1 Module Overview The 1734sc-IF4U module has four analog input channels that support current, voltage, RTD, resistance and thermocouple input types. This chapter includes information about: General description Input types Data Formats Filter frequencies Hardware Features System overview and module operation Section 1.1 General Description The IF4U module digitally converts and stores analog data for each configured input.
1-2 Point IO™ 4 Channel Universal Analog Input Module Section 1.3 Data Formats For each channel the data can be configured for: Engineering Units x1 Engineering Units x10 Scaled-for-PID Raw/proportional counts Section 1.4 Filter Frequencies The module uses a notch filter to provide noise rejection for each input channel. The filter for each channel is programmable allowing you to select from 4 different filter options: 4.17 Hz 16.7 Hz 62 Hz 470 Hz Section 1.
Chapter 1: Module Overview Figure 1 Figure 2 1.5.1 LED Indicators The 1734 analog HART module uses several LEDs to show operational status. The status LEDs are defined below: Table 1-2 (LED Status Indicators) Indicator State Description Module Status Off No power applied to device Solid Green Device operating normally User’s Manual Pub. 0300266-01 Rev.
1-4 Point IO™ 4 Channel Universal Analog Input Module Indicator Channel Status Network Status State Description Flashing Green Device needs commissioning due to configuration missing, incomplete, or incorrect. NOTE: The module always sets default values for invalid configurations. Therefore, this status will not be shown. Flashing Red Not used with this module. Solid Red Recoverable fault. ADC communications fault, or backplane communications error.
Chapter 1: Module Overview 1-5 1.6.1 Module Power-up At power-up, the module performs a check of its internal circuits, memory, and basic functions. If no faults are found during power-up diagnostics, the module status LED is turned on. After power-up checks are complete, the module waits for valid channel configuration data. If an invalid configuration is detected, the module will generate a PLC fault.

Chapter 2: Installation and Wiring 2-5 2.4.2 Install Mounting Base ! Attention During panel or DIN rail mounting of all devices, be sure that all debris (metal chips, wire strands, etc.) is kept from falling into the module. Debris that falls into the module could cause damage when power is applied to the module. To install the mounting base on the DIN rail, proceed as follows: 1.) Position the mounting base vertically above the installed units (adapter, power supply or existing module. 2.
2-6 Point IO™ 4 Channel Universal Analog Input Module 1.) Using a bladed screwdriver, rotate the key switch on the mounting base clockwise until the number required for the type of module being installed aligns with the notch in the base. 2.) Make certain the DIN rail locking screw is in the horizontal position. (You cannot insert the module if the locking mechanism is unlocked.) 3.) Insert the module straight down into the mounting base and press to secure. The module will lock into place. 2.4.
Chapter 2: Installation and Wiring 2-7 vertical position. This releases the locking mechanism. 7.) Lift straight up to remove. 2.4.6 Install a 1734-TOPS Base 1.) Position the base vertically above the installed units, such as an adapter, power supply, or existing module. 2.) Slide the base down, allowing the interlocking side pieces to engage the adjacent installed unit. 3.) Press firmly to seat the base on the DIN rail until the base snaps into place. 4.

Chapter 3 Configuring the 1734sc-IF4U Using RSLogix 5000 This chapter covers the following subjects: Things you should know About Communications Use Generic Profile Use AOP (Add On Profile) Module configuration Reading input data Module update time Section 3.1 Introduction This chapter will describe how to configure the IF4U module using RSLogix 5000 programming software. Section 3.
3-2 Point IO™ 4 Channel Universal Analog Input Module ! The IF4U module is not compatible with the 1734-ADN, ADN(X), and PDN device net adapters and the 1734-APB profibus adapter. Attention ! The 1734sc-IF4U is not field upgradable. Attention ! The ControlNet adapter (1734-ACNR) has a maximum data transmit limit of 600 bytes. Therefore, the maximum number of 1734sc-IF4U modules that can be installed behind a ControlNet adapter is 14. Attention Section 3.
Chapter 3: Configuring the 1734sc-IF4U for RSLogix 5000 3-3 Note: When you create a new RSLogix 5000 project with the CompactLogix 1769-L23E, 1769-L32E or L35E controller, The Controller Organizer creates a Ethernet port in the local chassis. In this case, you don’t need to add a separate local communication module. 3.3.1 Add a Local Ethernet Bridge Module After you have started RSLogix 5000 software and created a controller project, you can add Ethernet communication modules.

Section 3.5 Module Configuration The IF4U can be configured using the AOP (Add-On-Profile) or by using the 1734 generic module profile. The configuration tags for the IF4U are located under the controller tags. The following examples describe the tag structure allocated by the Generic Module profile and the AOP. User’s Manual Pub. 0300266-01 Rev.

Chapter 3: Configuring the 1734sc-IF4U for RSLogix 5000 3-13 Channel Disable (Bit 0) Enable (Default) = 0, Disable = 1. If the channel is disabled, all other fields are ignored. Filter Frequency (Bits 1 and 2) The filter selection affects how the module attenuates the input signal at the specified frequency. It also affects the update time of the input data which is reflected in the minimum conversion time for each channel. Lower filter frequencies are recommended for RTD and Thermocouple modes.
3-14 Point IO™ 4 Channel Universal Analog Input Module ignored. It is recommended to configure both channels identically (0 and 1, 2 and 3) when using multi‐wire RTD. This reduces confusion in the setup. A zero will be reported for the adjacent odd channel in multi‐wire RTD. The +/‐10V range is the default input type for each channel. Data Format (Bits 11 and 12) Data Format dictates how the data is presented. Engineering Units X1 is the default.
