9.4 Analog Input Module 16-/8-Channel Voltage:

IC694ALG222
The 16–Channel Analog Voltage Input Module, IC694ALG222, provides
sixteen single-ended or eight differential input channels.
Each channel can be configured using the configuration software for either
of two input ranges:
▪ 0 to 10 V (unipolar), default
▪ -10 to +10 V (bipolar)
High and Low alarm limits can be configured for both ranges.
This module can be installed in any I/O slot of an RX3i system.
Revision –BA and later supports insertion into and removal from an RX3i
Universal Backplane which is under power. Refer to Hot Insertion and
Removal, Section 2.6.4.1 .
Module supports firmware upgrades using the WinLoader software utility
(if the host CPU has a serial port) or using a Web-based tool (if the host
CPU has no serial port). Instructions are included with the firmware
upgrade kit.23

9.4.1 Isolated +24Vdc Power

If Module is located in an RX3i Universal Backplane, an external source of
Isolated +24Vdc is required to provide power for Module. The external
source must be connected via the TB1 connector on the left side of the
backplane.
If this module is located in an Expansion or Remote backplane, the
backplane power supply provides the Isolated +24Vdc for Module.

9.4.2 LEDs: ALG222

Module OK LED provides module status information on power-up:
▪ ON: status is OK, module configured
▪ OFF: no backplane power or software not running (watchdog timer
timed out)
▪ Continuous rapid flashing: configuration data not received from CPU
▪ Slow flashes, then OFF: failed power-up diagnostics or encountered
code execution error
Figure 272: IC694ALG222 Module P/S LED indicates that the internally-generated +5Vdc supply is
above a minimum designated level for Module.

9.4.4 Configuration: ALG222

Configurable parameters for module IC694ALG222 are described below.

9.4.4.1 Module Settings: ALG222

Parameter Choices Description

Active Channels 1 to 16 for Single-ended The number of channels to be scanned. Channels are
mode, or 1 to 8 for scanned in sequential, contiguous order.
Differential mode

Mode Single-ended (default), In Single-ended mode, there are 16 inputs referenced

or to a single common. In Differential mode, each of the
8 inputs has its own signal and common.
Differential

Channel Value Valid memory type: %AI The starting address for input data from Module.
Reference Address

Channel Value Read-only. Each channel provides 16 bits (1 word) of analog input
Reference Length data to the Controller CPU.

Module Status Valid memory type: %I The starting address for status information from
Reference Address Module.

Module Status 0, 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 The number of status bits (0 to 40) reported to the
Reference Length Controller. When set to 0, status reporting is disabled.
To enable status reporting, set this parameter to a
value other than 0.

Data formats are shown on the following page.

I/O Scan Set 1 through 32 Assigns Module I/O status data to a scan set defined in
the CPU configuration. Determines how often the RX3i
polls the data

9.4.4.3 Input Scaling: ALG222

The default input mode and range is single-ended, unipolar. In 0 to 10 Vdc mode, input data is scaled so that
0 volts corresponds to a count of 0 and 10 volts corresponds to a count of +32000.

The bipolar range and mode can be selected by changing the configuration parameters of Module. In bipolar
mode, -10 V corresponds to a count of -32000, 0 V corresponds to a count of 0, and +10 V corresponds to a
count of +32000.

Factory calibration adjusts the analog value per bit (resolution) to a multiple of full scale (2.5 mV per bit for
unipolar; 5 mV per bit for bipolar). The data is then scaled with the 4000 counts over the analog range. The
data is scaled as displayed in the following figure.
