Module-defined Data Type: AB: 1769_IR6:C:0

Member Name	Type	Default Display Style	Description
Ch0Config	INT	Binary
Ch0Filter_0 Ch0Filter_1 Ch0Filter_2			The module will support 6 filter selections corresponding to filter frequencies of 10 Hz, 50 Hz, 60 Hz, 250 Hz, 500 Hz, and 1 kHz. The filter frequency selection will affect channel update time, noise rejection, and effective resolution.
			Filter Frequency	Cutoff Frequency				Step Response		ChxFilter_2		ChxFilter_1			ChxFilter_0
			10 Hz	2.62 Hz				300 ms		1		1			0
			50 Hz	13.1 Hz				60 ms		0		0			1
			60 Hz	15.7 Hz				50 ms		0		0			0
			250 Hz	65.5 Hz				12 ms		0		1			1
			500 Hz	131 Hz				6 ms		1		0			0
			1 kHz	262 Hz				3 ms		1		0			1
Ch0ExciteCurrent	BOOL	Decimal	The module is capable of exciting each RTD/Resistive device with either 0.5 mA or 1.0 mA of current. Setting ChxExciteCurrent to 0 will provide 1.0 mA of excitation. Setting ChxExciteCurrent to 1 will provide 0.5 mA of excitation.
Ch0DisableLeadComp	BOOL	Decimal	For each channel, the module can measure the lead resistance when a channel is enabled or once every 5 minutes in synch with the modules calibration cycle. The default for ChxDisableLeadComp is a zero, so Cyclic Lead Compensation is normally on. Setting ChxDisableLeadComp to a 1 will disable the function and Lead Compensation will only be done at power up. If Cyclic Lead Compensation is on this will be done once every 5 minutes. Each channel will be interwoven with a complete scan of all 6 channels being performed before measuring the Lead resistance for the next channel.
Ch0OpenWire_5 Ch0OpenWire_6	BOOL	Decimal	The module will override the actual output data with the value specified here when it detects a short circuit when a thermocouple input is selected, or when it detects an open circuit. Zero: Set output to zero value Upscale: Set output to full upper scale value Downscale: Set output to full lower scale value Last State: Set output to the last output value
			Open Circuit		ChxOpenWire_6				ChxOpenWire_5
			Upscale		0				0
			Downscale		0				1
			Last State		1				0
			Zero		1				0
Ch0TempMode	BOOL	Decimal	The module supports two different temperature output ranges, degrees C and degrees F. Set ChxTempMode to 0 for degrees C. Set ChxTempMode to 1 for degrees F.
Ch0SensorType_8 Ch0SensorType_9 Ch0SensorType_10 Ch0SensorType_11	BOOL	Decimal	The module supports twelve RTD types and four resistance ranges. Each channel can be configured for any input type.

			* This Input Type is only valid with the .5ma excitation current ** This Input Type is only valid with the 1.0ma excitation current
Ch0DataFormat_12 Ch0DataFormat_13 Ch0DataFormat_14			You can configure the channel to present data in any of the following formats: Raw/Proportional Data: The value presented to the controller is proportional to the selected input and scaled into the maximum data range allowed by the bit resolution of the A/D converter and filter selected. The full range for a 100 ohm platinum RTD (-200 ° C to 850 ° C) input is –32767 to +32767. Engineering Units X 10: For RTD inputs, the module scales the input data to the actual temperature values for the selected RTD type. Temperatures will be expressed in 1°C units. For resistance inputs, resistance will be expressed in 1 ohm units, except the 150 ohm range, which will be in 0.1 ohm units. Scaled for PID: The value presented to the controller is a signed integer with zero representing the lower user range and 16383 representing the upper user range. Allen-Bradley controllers, such as the MicroLogix 1500, use this range in their PID equations. Percent Range. The input data is presented as a percent of the user range. For example, for a 100 ohm platinum RTD, -200 ° C to 850 ° C equals 0% to 100%.

Ch0En	BOOL	Decimal	The module can enable or disable each one of the six channels, Setting ChxEn to 0 disables the channel, setting ChxEn to 1 enables the channel. Disabling a channel off will result in the channel output being set to zero. Disabling a channel will speed up the system response of the active channels. Enabling a channel forces the channel to be recalibrated before measuring input data.
