The module contains a diagnostic LED that helps you identify the
source of problems that may occur during power-up or during normal
channel operation. The LED indicates both status and power.
Power-up and channel diagnostics are explained in Chapter 4,
Diagnostics and Troubleshooting.
System Overview The modules communicate to the controller through the bus interface.
The modules also receive 5 and 24V dc power through the bus
interface.
System Operation
After power-up checks are complete, the module waits for valid
channel configuration data. If an invalid configuration is detected, the
module generates a configuration error. Once a channel is properly
configured and enabled, it continuously converts the thermocouple or
millivolt input to a value within the range selected for that channel.
Each time a channel is read by the input module, that data value is
tested by the module for an over-range, under-range, open-circuit, or
“input data not valid” condition. If such a condition is detected, a
unique bit is set in the channel status word. The channel status word
is described in Input Data File on page 3-2.
Using the module image table, the controller reads the two’s
complement binary converted thermocouple or millivolt data from the
module. This typically occurs at the end of the program scan or when
commanded by the control program. If the controller and the module
determine that the data transfer has been made without error, the data
is used in the control program.

Grounding
• Ground the shield drain wire at one end only. The typical
location is as follows.
Noise Prevention
• Route field wiring away from any other wiring and as far as
possible from sources of electrical noise, such as motors,
transformers, contactors, and ac devices. As a general rule, allow
at least 15.2 cm (6 in.) of separation for every 120V of power.

3. At one end of the cable, twist the drain wire and foil shield
together, bend them away from the cable, and apply shrink
wrap. Then earth ground at the preferred location based on the
type of sensor you are using. See Grounding on page 2-8.

Cold Junction To obtain accurate readings from each of the channels, the
temperature between the thermocouple wire and the input channel
Compensation must be compensated for. A cold junction compensating thermistor
has been integrated in the terminal block. The thermistor must remain
installed to retain accuracy.
IMPORTANT The module does not convert input data while the
calibration cycle is in progress following a change in
configuration. Module scan times are increased by up
to 112 ms during cyclic autocalibration.
Module Memory Map The module uses six input words for data and status bits (input
image), and five configuration words.

Accessing Input Image File The input image file represents data words and status words. Input
words 0 through 3 hold the input data that represents the value of the
Data analog inputs for channels 0 through 3. These data words are valid
only when the channel is enabled and there are no errors. Input
words 4 and 5 hold the status bits. To receive valid status information,
the channel must be enabled.
You can access the information in the input image file using the
programming software data files input screen.
Input Data File The input data table allows you to access module read data for use in
the control program, via word and bit access. The data table structure
is shown in table below.

The general status bits S0 to S3 also indicate whether or not the input
data for a particular channel, 0 through 3, is being properly converted
(valid) by the module. This “invalid data” condition can occur (bit set)
when the download of a new configuration to a channel is accepted
by the module (proper configuration) but before the A/D converter
can provide valid (properly configured) data to the MicroLogix 1200
controller. The following information highlights the bit operation of
the Data Not Valid condition.
remains until the module begins converting analog data for the
previously accepted new configuration. When conversion
begins, the bit condition is reset (0). The amount of time it takes
for the module to begin the conversion process depends on the
number of channels being configured and the amount of
configuration data downloaded by the controller.
Over-range bits for channels 0 through 3 and the CJC sensor are
contained in word 5, even-numbered bits. They apply to all input
types. When set (1), the over-range flag bit indicates an input signal
that is at the maximum of its normal operating range for the
represented channel or sensor. The module automatically resets (0)
the bit when the data value falls below the maximum for that range.
Under-range bits for channels 0 through 3 and the CJC sensor are
contained in word 5, odd-numbered bits. They apply to all input
types. When set (1), the under-range flag bit indicates an input signal
that is at the minimum of its normal operating range for the
represented channel or sensor. The module automatically resets (0)
the bit when the under-range condition is cleared and the data value
is within the normal operating range.
Configuring Channels After module installation, you must configure operation details, such
as thermocouple type, temperature units, etc., for each channel.
Channel configuration data for the module is stored in the controller
configuration file, which is both readable and writable.

(1) Default values are in bold type and are indicated by zero bit settings. For example, the default filter frequency is 60Hz.
(2) An attempt to write any non-valid (spare) bit configuration into any selection field results in a module configuration error.
You can enable or disable each of the four channels individually using
bit 15. The module only scans enabled channels. Enabling a channel
forces it to be recalibrated before it measures input data. Disabling a
channel sets the channel data word to zero.

(2) When millivolts are selected, the temperature setting is ignored. Analog input date is the same for °C or °F selection.
Raw/Proportional Data
If you select the raw/proportional data format for a channel, the data
word will be a number between -32767 and +32767. For example, if a
type J thermocouple is selected, the lowest temperature of -210°C
corresponds to -32767 counts. The highest temperature of 1200°C
corresponds to +32767. See Determining Effective Resolution and
Range on page 3-14.
Engineering Units x 1
When using this data format for a thermocouple or millivolt input, the
module scales the thermocouple or millivolt input data to the actual
engineering values for the selected millivolt input or thermocouple
type. It expresses temperatures in 0.1°C or 0.1°F units. For millivolt
inputs, the module expresses voltages in 0.01 mV units.
Engineering Units x 10
When using a thermocouple input with this data format, the module
scales the input data to the actual temperature values for the selected
thermocouple type. With this format, the module expresses
temperatures in 1°C or 1°F units. For millivolt inputs, the module
expresses voltages in 0.1 mV units.
Scaled-for-PID
To obtain the value, the module scales the input signal range to a 0 to
+16383 range, which is standard to the PID algorithm for the
MicroLogix 1200 and other Allen-Bradley controllers (e.g. SLC). For
example, if type J thermocouple is used, the lowest temperature for
the thermocouple is -210°C, which corresponds to 0 counts. The
highest temperature in the input range, 1200°C, corresponds to
+16383 counts.
Percent Range
Bits 6 and 5 define the state of the channel data word when an
open-circuit condition is detected for the corresponding channel. The
module overrides the actual input data depending on the option that
you specify when it detects an open circuit. The open-circuit options
are explained in the table on page 3-10.
Response Definition
Option
Upscale Sets the input data value to full upper scale value of channel data word. The
full-scale value is determined by the selected input type and data format.
Downscale Sets the input data value to full lower scale value of channel data word. The
low scale value is determined by the selected input type and data format.
Last State Sets the input data value to the last input value prior to the detection of the
open-circuit.
Zero Sets the input data value to 0 to force the channel data word to 0.
The input filter selection field allows you to select the filter frequency
for each channel and provides system status of the input filter setting
for channels 0 through 3. The filter frequency affects the following, as
explained later in this chapter:
The filter frequency that you choose for a module channel determines
the amount of noise rejection for the inputs. A lower frequency (50 Hz
versus 500 Hz) provides better noise rejection and increases effective
resolution, but also increases channel update time. A higher filter
frequency provides lower noise rejection, but decreases the channel
update time and effective resolution.

Cyclic calibration functions to reduce offset and gain drift errors due
to temperature changes within the module. By setting word 4, bit 0 to
0, you can configure the module to perform calibration on all enabled
channels. Setting this bit to 1 disables cyclic calibration.
You can program the calibration cycle to occur whenever you desire
for systems that allow modifications to the state of this bit via the
ladder program. When the calibration function is enabled (bit = 0), a
calibration cycle occurs once for all enabled channels. If the function
remains enabled, a calibration cycle occurs every five minutes
thereafter. The calibration cycle of each enabled channel is staggered
over several module scan cycles within the five minute period to limit
impact on the system response speed.
Determining Effective The effective resolution for an input channel depends upon the filter
frequency selected for that channel. The following graphs provide the
Resolution and Range effective resolution for each of the range selections at the six available
frequencies. These graphs do not include the affects of unfiltered
input noise. Choose the frequency that most closely matches your
requirements.

Table 3.4 Effective Resolution vs. Input Filter Selection for Millivolt Inputs
Determining Module The module update time is defined as the time required for the
module to sample and convert the input signals of all enabled input
Update Time channels and provide the resulting data values to the processor.
Module update time can be calculated by adding the sum of all
enabled channel’s times. The module sequentially samples the
enabled channels in a continuous loop as shown below.
Channel update time is dependent upon the input filter selection. The
following table shows the channel update times.
The CJC input is only sampled if one or more channels are enabled
for any thermocouple type. The CJC update time is equal to the largest
channel update time of any of the enabled thermocouple inputs types.
In that case, a single CJC update is done per scan. See the scan
diagram on the previous page. The cyclic calibration time only applies
when cyclic calibration is enabled and active. If enabled, the cyclic
calibration is staggered over several scan cycles once every five
minutes to limit the overall impact to module update time.
(1) During an online configuration change, input data for the affected channel is not updated by the module.
Following all input channel calibration cycles, the CJC sensor channel
receives a separate ADC self-calibration cycle. The time added to this
cycle is determined by the filter setting for the CJC, which is set to the
lowest filter setting of any input configured as a thermocouple. If no
enabled input channel is configured for a thermocouple, no CJC
calibration cycle occurs. See Table 3.6 below for channel and CJC
sensor ADC self-calibration times as well as channel offset calibration
times.
After the above cycles are complete, the module returns to scans without
autocalibration for approximately 5 minutes. At that time, the autocalibration
cycle repeats.

Safety Circuits
Module Operation vs. The module performs diagnostic operations at both the module level
and the channel level. Module-level operations include functions such
Channel Operation as power-up, configuration, and communication with a MicroLogix
1200 controller.
Channel Diagnostics When an input channel is enabled, the module performs a diagnostic
check to see that the channel has been properly configured. In
addition, the channel is tested on every scan for configuration errors,
over-range and under-range, and open-circuit conditions.
Whenever the data received at the channel word is out of the defined
operating range, an over-range or under-range error is indicated in
input data word 5.
Open-Circuit Detection
Non-critical vs. Critical Non-critical module errors are typically recoverable. Channel errors
(over-range or under-range errors) are non-critical. Non-critical error
Module Errors conditions are indicated in the module input data table.
Module Error Definition Analog module errors are expressed in two fields as four-digit Hex
format with the most significant digit as “don’t care” and irrelevant.
Table The two fields are “Module Error” and “Extended Error Information”.
The structure of the module error data is shown below.
The purpose of the module error field is to classify module errors into
three distinct groups, as described in the table below. The type of
error determines what kind of information exists in the extended error
information field. These types of module errors are typically reported
in the controller’s I/O status file. Refer to your controller manual for
details.
Hardware Errors
Configuration Errors
Table 4.3 Extended Error Codes on page 4-6 lists the possible

Positive Decimal Values The far left position is always 0 for positive values. As indicated in the
figure below, this limits the maximum positive decimal value to 32767
(all positions are 1 except the far left position). For example:
Negative Decimal Values In two’s complement notation, the far left position is always 1 for
negative values. The equivalent decimal value of the binary number is
obtained by subtracting the value of the far left position, 32768, from
the sum of the values of the other positions. In the figure below (all
positions are 1), the value is 32767 - 32768 = -1. For example:
Thermocouple Descriptions
International Temperature The ITS-90 [1,3] is realized, maintained, and disseminated by NIST to
provide a standard scale of temperature for use in science and
Scale of 1990 industry in the United States. This scale was adopted by the
International Committee of Weights and Measures (CIPM) at its
meeting in September 1989, and it became the official international
temperature scale on January 1, 1990. The ITS-90 supersedes the
IPTS-68(75) [2] and the 1976 Provisional 0.5 K to 30 K Temperature
Scale (EPT-76) [4].
Type B Thermocouples This section discusses Platinum-30 percent Rhodium Alloy Versus
Platinum-6 percent Rhodium Alloy thermocouples, commonly called
type B thermocouples. This type is sometimes referred to by the
nominal chemical composition of its thermoelements: platinum - 30
percent rhodium versus platinum - 6 percent rhodium or “30-6”. The
positive (BP) thermoelement typically contains 29.60 ± 0.2 percent
rhodium and the negative (BN) thermoelement usually contains 6.12 ±
0.02 percent rhodium. The effect of differences in rhodium content
are described later in this section. An industrial consensus standard
[21] (ASTM E1159-87) specifies that rhodium having a purity of 99.98
percent shall be alloyed with platinum of 99.99 percent purity to
produce the thermoelements. This consensus standard [21] describes
Studies by Ehringer [39], Walker et al. [25,26], and Glawe and Szaniszlo
[24] have demonstrated that thermocouples, in which both legs are
platinum-rhodium alloys, are suitable for reliable temperature
measurements at high temperatures. Such thermocouples have been
shown to offer the following distinct advantages over types R and S
thermocouples at high temperatures: (1) improved stability, (2)
increased mechanical strength, and (3) higher operating temperatures.
The research by Burns and Gallagher [38] indicated that the 30-6
thermocouple can be used intermittently (for several hours) up to
1790°C and continuously (for several hundred hours) at temperatures
up to about 1700°C with only small changes in calibration. The
maximum temperature limit for the thermocouple is governed,
primarily, by the melting point of the Pt-6 percent rhodium
thermoelement which is estimated to be about 1820°C by Acken [40].
The thermocouple is most reliable when used in a clean oxidizing
atmosphere (air) but also has been used successfully in neutral
atmospheres or vacuum by Walker et al [25,26], Hendricks and
McElroy [41], and Glawe and Szaniszlo [24]. The stability of the
thermocouple at high temperatures has been shown by Walker et al.
[25,26] to depend, primarily, on the quality of the materials used for
protecting and insulating the thermocouple. High purity alumina with
low iron-content appears to be the most suitable material for the
purpose.
may not satisfy the tolerances specified for the -200°C to 0°C range. If
materials are required to meet the tolerances below 0°C, this should
be specified when they are purchased.
Type J Thermocouples This section discusses Iron Versus Copper-Nickel Alloy (SAMA)
thermocouples, called type J thermocouples. A type J thermocouple is
one of the most common types of industrial thermocouples, because
of its relatively high Seebeck coefficient and low cost. It has been
reported that more than 200 tons of type J materials are supplied
annually to industry in this country. However, this type is least
suitable for accurate thermometry because there are significant
nonlinear deviations in the thermoelectric output of thermocouples
obtained from different manufacturers. These irregular deviations lead
to difficulties in obtaining accurate calibrations based on a limited
number of calibration points. The positive thermoelement is
commercially pure (99.5 percent Fe) iron, usually containing
significant impurity levels of carbon, chromium, copper, manganese,
nickel, phosphorus, silicon, and sulfur. Thermocouple wire represents
such a small fraction of the total production of commercial iron wire
that the producers do not control the chemical composition to
maintain constant thermoelectric properties. Instead, instrument
companies and thermocouple fabricators select material most suitable
for the thermocouple usage. The total and specific types of impurities
that occur in commercial iron change with time, location of primary
ores, and methods of smelting. Many unusual lots have been selected
in the past, for example spools of industrial iron wire and even
scrapped rails from an elevated train line. At present, iron wire that
most closely fits these tables has about 0.25 percent manganese and
0.12 percent copper, plus other minor impurities.
The ASTM Manual [5] indicates that type K thermocouples should not
be used at high temperatures in sulfurous, reducing, or alternately
oxidizing and reducing atmospheres unless suitably protected with
protecting tubes. They also should not be used in vacuum (at high
temperatures) for extended times because the chromium in the
positive thermoelement, a nickel-chromium alloy, vaporizes out of
solution and alters the calibration. In addition, avoid their use in
atmospheres that promote “green-rot” corrosion [9] of the positive
thermoelement. Such corrosion results from the preferential oxidation
of chromium in atmospheres with low, but not negligible, oxygen
content and can lead to a large decrease in the thermoelectric voltage
of the thermocouple with time. The effect is most serious at
temperatures between 800°C and 1050°C.
The research reported in NBS Monograph 161 showed that the type N
thermocouple may be used down to liquid helium temperatures
(about 4K) but that its Seebeck coefficient becomes very small below
20K. Its Seebeck coefficient at 20K is about 2.5µV/K, roughly one-third
that of type E thermocouples which are the most suitable of the
letter-designated thermocouples types for measurements down to
20K. Nevertheless, types NP and NN thermoelements do have a
relatively low thermal conductivity and good resistance to corrosion in
moist atmospheres at low temperatures.
Type R Thermocouples This section describes Platinum-13 percent Rhodium Alloy Versus
Platinum thermocouples, called type R thermocouples. This type is
often referred to by the nominal chemical composition of its positive
(RP) thermoelement: platinum-13 percent rhodium. The negative (RN)
thermoelement is commercially-available platinum that has a nominal
purity of 99.99 percent [21]. An industrial consensus standard (ASTM
E1159-87) specifies that rhodium having a nominal purity of 99.98
percent shall be alloyed with platinum of 99.99 percent purity to
produce the positive thermoelement, which typically contains 13.00 ±
0.05 percent rhodium by weight. This consensus standard [21]
describes the purity of commercial type R materials that are used in
many industrial thermometry applications and that meet the
calibration tolerances described later in this section. It does not cover,
however, the higher-purity, reference-grade materials that traditionally
were used to construct thermocouples used as transfer standards and
reference thermometers in various laboratory applications and to
develop reference functions and tables [22,23]. The higher purity alloy
material typically contains less than 500 atomic ppm of impurities and
the platinum less than 100 atomic ppm of impurities [22]. Differences
between such high purity commercial material and the platinum
thermoelectric reference standard, Pt-67, are described in [22] and [23].
Szaniszlo [24], and Walker et al [25,26] have determined the effects that
prolonged exposure at elevated temperatures (>1200°C) in vacuum,
air, and argon atmospheres have on the thermoelectric voltages of
type R thermocouples.
Type S Thermocouples This section describes Platinum-10 percent Rhodium Alloy Versus
Platinum thermocouples, commonly known as type S thermocouples.
This type is often referred to by the nominal chemical composition of
its positive (SP) thermoelement: platinum-10 percent rhodium. The
negative (SN) thermoelement is commercially available platinum that
has a nominal purity of 99.99 percent [21]. An industrial consensus
standard (ASTM E1159-87) specifies that rhodium having a nominal
purity of 99.98 percent shall be alloyed with platinum of 99.99 percent
purity to produce the positive thermoelement, which typically
contains 10.00 ± 0.05 percent rhodium by weight. The consensus
standard [21] describes the purity of commercial type S materials that
are used in many industrial thermometry applications and that meet
the calibration tolerances described later in this section. It does not
cover, however, the higher-purity, reference-grade materials that
traditionally were used to construct thermocouples used as standard
instruments of the IPTS-68, as transfer standards and reference
thermometers in various laboratory applications, and to develop
reference functions and tables [27,28]. The higher purity alloy material
typically contains less than 500 atomic ppm of impurities and the
platinum less than 100 atomic ppm of impurities [27]. Difference
between such high purity commercial material and the platinum
thermoelectric reference standard, Pt-67, are described in [27] and [28].
McLaren and Murdock [30-33] and Bentley and Jones [34] thoroughly
studied the performance of type S thermocouples in the range 0°C to
1100°C. They described how thermally reversible effects, such as
quenched-in point defects, mechanical stresses, and preferential
oxidation of rhodium in the type SP thermoelement, cause chemical

Using a Grounded Junction With a grounded junction thermocouple, the measuring junction is
physically connected to the protective sheath, forming a completely
Thermocouple sealed integral junction. If the sheath is metal (or electrically
conductive), there is electrical continuity between the junction and
sheath. The junction is protected from corrosive or erosive conditions.
The response time approaches that of the exposed junction type
described in Using an Exposed Junction Thermocouple on page D-3.

Using an Exposed Junction An exposed junction thermocouple uses a measuring junction that
does not have a protective metal sheath. A thermocouple with this
Thermocouple junction type provides the fastest response time but leaves
thermocouple wires unprotected against corrosive or mechanical
damage.

The configuration file contains information you use to define the way
a specific channel functions. The configuration file is explained in
more detail in Configuring Channels on page 3-4.
Configuration Using This example takes you through configuring your 1762-IT4
thermocouple/mV input module with RSLogix 500 programming
RSLogix 500 Version 5.50 or software, assumes your module is installed as expansion I/O in a
Higher MicroLogix 1200 system, and that RSLinx™ is properly configured and
a communications link has been established between the MicroLogix
processor and RSLogix 500.
The Cal tab contains a check box for disabling cyclic calibration. See
Selecting Enable/Disable Cyclic Calibration (Word 4, Bit 0) on page
3-14 for more information.
Configuration Using If you do not have version 5.5 or higher of RSLogix 500, you can still
configure your module, using the Generic Extra Data Configuration
RSLogix 500 Version 5.2 or dialog.

The 1762-IT4 uses six 16-bit binary numbers to configure each of its
four channels. To properly configure and enable input channel 1 for
the setting in the table below, add the decimal values given to each of
the six parameters. These decimal values are listed in the
configuration table on page 3-5.
Enter this value into the Generic Extra Data Config tab.
channel update time – The time required for the module to sample
and convert the input signals of one enabled input channel and
update the channel data word.
data word – A 16-bit integer that represents the value of the input
channel. The channel data word is valid only when the channel is
enabled and there are no channel errors. When the channel is
disabled the channel data word is cleared (0).
input data scaling – Data scaling that depends on the data format
selected for a channel configuration word. Scaling is selected to fit the
temperature or voltage resolution for your application.
input image – The input from the module to the controller. The input
image contains the module data words and status bits.

LSB – Least significant bit. The LSB represents the smallest value
within a string of bits. For analog modules, 16-bit, two’s complement
binary codes are used in the
I/O image. For analog inputs, the LSB is defined as the rightmost bit of
the 16-bit field (bit 0). The weight of the LSB value is defined as the
full-scale range divided by the resolution.
module update time – The time required for the module to sample
and convert the input signals of all enabled input channels and make
the resulting data values available to the processor.
step response time – The time required for the channel data word
signal to reach a specified percentage of its expected final value, given
a full-scale step change in the input signal.
