the%AI and %AQ registers is in a 16-bit 2’s complement format. In current modes, an open-wire
fault is reported to the CPU for each channel. The module can go to a known last state when
system power is interrupted. As long as user power is applied to the module, each output will
maintain its last value, or reset to the low end of the scale (range), as determined by how you have
configured the module.
Each output channel can be configured to operate in ramp mode using ladder logic. In ramp
mode, changes in %AQ data cause the corresponding output channel to ramp to the new %AQ
value. The ramp output consists of steps taken each millisecond until the final value is reached.
High and low alarm limits can be set for all input channels and an open-wire fault (current
output modes) is reported to the CPU for each output channel. All six analog channels may be
updated on every scan, depending on the scan time.

IC693ALG442 Input Modes and Current/Voltage Ranges

Current Operation
In the 4 to 20 mA range, user data is scaled so that 4 mA corresponds to a count of 0 and 20 mA
corresponds to a count of 32000. The other ranges are selected by changing the configuration
parameters using the Logicmaster 90-30/20/Micro configurator software or the Hand-Held
Programmer. In the 0 to 20 mA range user data is scaled so that 0 mA corresponds to a count of 0
and 20 mA corresponds to a count of 32000. Full 12-bit resolution is available over the 0 to 20 mA
range.
A 4 to 20 mA Enhanced range can also be selected. When this range is selected, 0 mA corresponds
to a count of –8000,
8000, 4 mA corresponds to a count of 0 (zero) and 20 mA corresponds to a count of
+32000. The Enhanced range uses the same hardware as the 0 to 20 mA range but automatically
provides 4 to 20 mA range scaling with the exception that negative digital values are provided to
the user for input current levels between 4 mA and 0 mA. This gives you the capability of
selecting a low alarm limit that detects when the input current falls from 4 mA to 0 mA, which
provides for open-wire fault detection in 4 to 20 mA applications. High and Low alarm limits are
available on all ranges. Ranges can be configured on a per channel basis.
User data in the %AI registers is in 16-bit 2’ss complement format (0 to 20 mA range only).
Resolution of the converted signal is 12 bits binary (1 part in 4096) on the 0 to 20 mA range.
The placement of the 12 bits from the A/D converter in the %AI data word is shown below.

Figure 12-1. A/D Bits vs. Current Input

If the current source is reversed into the input, or is less than the low end of the current range,
then the module will output a data word corresponding to the low end of the current range
(0000H in %AI). If an input that is out of range is entered (that is, it is greater than 20 mA), the
A/D converter will output up to full scale (corresponding to 7FFFH in %AI).

Voltage Operation
In the 0 to +10 V default range, user data is scaled so that 0 volts corresponds to a count of 0 and
+10 volts corresponds to a count of 32000. The –10 to +10 volt range is selected by changing the

configuration parameters using the Logicmaster 90-30/20/Micro configurator software or the

Hand-Held Programmer. In the –10 to +10 volt range user data is scaled so that –10 volts
corresponds to a count of –32000 and +10 volts corresponds to a count of +32000. Full 12-bit
resolution is available over either range.
Since converters used in the analog input channels are 12-bit converters, not all of the 16 bits in
the data tables contain data required for the conversion. A version of the 12 bits is placed
within the 16-bit data word corresponding to the analog point (in the %AI table). The Series
90-30 PLC system handles the integration differently for the various analog modules.
The CPU does not manipulate the data from the input channels before placing it within the
word in the %AI data table. The bits in the %AI data table which were not used in the
conversion by the input channel are forced to 0 (zero) by the analog input channel. Placement
of the 12 data bits from the A/D converter for an analog current input data word for the
16-Channel Analog Voltage Input module in unipolar range is shown below.

Analog values are scaled over the range of the converter. Factory calibration adjusts the analog
value per bit (resolution) to a multiple of full scale (that is, 2.5 mV/bit for unipolar; 5 mV/bit
for bipolar). This calibration leaves a normal 12-bit converter with 4000 counts (normally 212
= 4096 counts). The data is then scaled with the 4000 counts over the analog range. For
example, the data to the A/D converter for the Analog Voltage Input is scaled as shown below.

IC693ALG442 Output Modes and Current/Voltage Ranges

Current Operation
In the 4 to 20 mA range user data is scaled so that 4 mA corresponds to a count of 0 and 20 mA
corresponds to a count of 32767. In the 0 to 20 mA range, user data is scaled so that 0 mA
corresponds to a count of 0 and 20 mA corresponds to 32000. Note that in the 0 to 20 mA
mode, you can enter a value up to 32767 which provides a maximum output of approximately
20.5 mA. Scaling of the current output for both the 4 to 20 mA range and the 0 to 20 mA range
is shown below. In current mode the module also provides an open loop fault detect which is
reported to the PLC in the %I table.

Voltage Operation
For Voltage Operation in the default unipolar mode (0 to +10 volts), user data is scaled so that 0
volts corresponds to a count of 0 and +10 volts corresponds to a count of 32000. In this mode,
you can enter up to 32767 for an overrange of approximately 10.24 volts output. In the –10 to
+10 volt range user data is scaled so that –10 volts corresponds to a count of –32000 and +10
volts corresponds to a count of +32000. In this range, you can enter –32768 to +32767 for an
overrange of approximately –10.24 volts to +10.24 volts.

CPU Interface to the IC693ALG442 Analog Combo Module

The Series 90-30 PLC uses the data within the %AI and %AQ data table to record analog
values for use by the programmable controller. For detailed information on the CPU interface
to analog modules, refer to the “Hardware Description of Analog Module” section at the
beginning of this chapter.

Status Reporting
The Analog Combo module module provides status information to the PLC. This status
information is updated once each PLC sweep and consists of the following items:
! health of the module (all ranges)
! overload or open wire detect (current output mode only)
ov
! alarm low and high status (input channels)
! status of the user-supplied power to the module (all ranges)

Power Requirements and LEDs

This module requires a maximum of 95 mA from the 5V bus on the PLC backplane for the logic
side. The module’s analog power must be supplied by a single, user supplied+24 VDC power
source. This includes current loop output power and voltage output load power. This user supply
requires a maximum current of 129 mA.
There are two green LED indicators on the module which provide module and user supply
status. The top LED, OK, provides module status information, and the bottom LED, USOK,
indicates whether the user supply is present and is above a minimum designated level. Note
that both LEDs are powered from the +5V backplane power bus.
The LEDs have six possible status combinations, which are described below.

LED Status Indications for IC693MDL442

Combination LED Status Description
1 OK ON Module OK and configured
USOK ON User power is present
2 OK FLASH Module OK but not configured
USOK OFF No user power
3 OK FLASH Module OK but not configured

4 OK ON Module OK and configured
USOK OFF No user power
5 OK OFF Module is defective or no +5V backplane power present
USOK OFF User power may or may not be present
6 OK OFF Module not OK
USOK ON User power is present

Location in System
The Analog Combo module is compatible with all Series 90–30 CPU models and may be installed
in any I/O slot of any Series 90–30 baseplate.

References Used and Maximum Modules per System Consider-

ations
The number of IC693ALG442 Analog Combo modules that can be installed in a system depends
on the amount of %AQ, %AI, and %I references available. Each module uses 2 %AQ references
and 4 %AI references (depending on status configuration) and 8, 16 or 24 %I references (depending
on alarm status configuration). The number of these references is dependent on the type of CPU in
your system.
Please refer the the “Maximum Number of Analog Modules per System” table in Chapter 8 to
determine how many Analog Combo modules can be installed for the various CPU models.

Configuring IC693ALG442 Using Logicmaster Software

This section describes how to configure the IC693ALG442 Analog Combination module using the
configurator function in Logicmaster 90-30/20/Micro Programming Software. Configuration can
also be done using VersaPro or Control Programming Software. For details refer to the VersaPro
or Control online help.

To configure an Analog Combo module on the I/O Configuration Rack screen, follow these
steps:
1. Move the cursor to the desired rack and slot location. The slot may be either unconfigured
or previously configured.
2. Press the !"#$ %& key ('( ). Your screen will change to one similar to the one shown
'().
below.

3. From this screen, press the ) "%* key ('+

'+). Your screen will change to one similar to the
one shown below.

GFK–0898F Chapter12 – IC693ALG442 Analog Combination I/O Module 12-13

12

4. Currently, there is only one selection. (If more than one selection appears, use your ,-./&.
0&12"234 (or 5..&6) keys to move to Catalog # IC693ALG442.) Press 7342. to accept
this selection and to move to the screen shown below.

5. All the remaining configuration does not have to be done on this screen. You can move
your cursor from field to field by pressing the ,-./&.80&12"234 (or 5..&6) keys.
When you are in the field you want to modify, you can either type in your choice or press
the 9): key to scroll through the available selections (or ;<%=4>9): to reverse the
direction of the scrolling).

Note
The entry in the ;4&? 0&@2 field ((ABCD or D7'CBE8FD7')-!48CBEG)
determines how the outputs will behave when the module is toggled from HIJ to
;9BK mode. When this value is set to ABCD (default), the outputs will retain
their last state. When you change this value to D7'CBE, the output will go to
zero.

Other Configuration Considerations

The entry in LM ;%N2 will only accept 8, 16 and 24, and will accept only %I addresses. This
field denotes the number of bits returned to the user. The only allowable entries for the L5M
H2= 5@. are %AI addresses. Similarly, the only allowable entries for the L5O H2= 5@. are
%AQ addresses.
The 5!)."8C&6 limit for each channel must be less than its corresponding 5!)."8A%P<
limit.
The L5M8H2=85@. field is the reference address for the %AI data and points to the start of the
locations in the %AI memory where the input data to the module begins. Each channel
provides 16 bits of analog output data as an integer value from 0 to 32,767 or –32768 to 32,767.
depending on the range type selected.
The L5O8H2=85@. field is the reference address for the %AQ data and points to the start of
the locations in the %AQ memory where the output data to the module begins. Each channel
provides 16 bits of analog output data as an integer value from 0 to 32,767 or –32768 to 32,767,
depending on the range type selected.
For detailed information of the data format, see the CPU Interface to Analog Modules section at
the beginning of this chapter.

%I Status Information
The LM8H2=85@. is the reference address for the %I data and points to the start of the locations
in the %I memory (that is, the Input Table) where status information from the module is reported.
You can select the number of %I status locations reported to the PLC by editing the value in the LM
;%N2 field. Allowable values in the %I Size field are 8, 16, and 24 which refer to the number of
%I locations reported to the PLC. For %I SIZE values 8 or greater, the data brought back is in the
format described in the following tables.

First eight %I locations - (available for %I SIZE values 8, 16, 24)

%I Locations Description
%I Module OK - 0 indicates NOT OK, 1 indicates module OK.
%I+1 User Supply OK - Indicates when user supply is in specified limits; reads a 0
when User supply below specified limit, 1 when User supply OK.
%I+2 & %I+3 Reserved for future modules. Not used in this module.
%I+4 through 7 " See definition for these bits below.

" %I+4through 7 (upper 4 bits of first %I byte) hold an error code which is defined as follows:

%I bitnumber 7–44 3 2 1 0

module ok: 0 = module failure

1 = module OK

user power ok
0 = user supplied power absent or not
1 = user supplied power OK
unused
error code:
binary hexadecimal error
0000 0 no errors
0001 1 invalid channel
0010 2 invalid alarm level
0011 3 invalid ramp time or step
1000 8 invalid E2 COMMREQ function

If the you send E2 COMMREQ data that reflects an invalid condition, the module will ignore the
COMMREQ command and return an error code in the upper 4 bits of the first %I byte. The
module will NOT stop standard operation if an error is detected; these error bits are for the user’s
information and can be ignored if desired. The error code will remain until you send an E2
COMMREQ to clear the error code or reconfigure the module.

GFK–0898F Chapter12 – IC693ALG442 Analog Combination I/O Module 12-15

12

Only the most recent error will be reported; an existing error code will be overwritten if another
error occurs. The priorities for errors are:
1. Invalid COMMREQ function (highest priority)

One of four input or output ranges can be selected; two are voltage ranges. The default range is 0 to
+10V, where input or output voltage values range from 0 to 10 volts. In input mode they report 0
to 32767 integer values to the CPU and in output mode values between 0 and 32767 are sent to the
module. In the –10 to +10V range, values between –32768 to 32767 are sent or received from the
CPU over an input voltage range of –10 to +10V.
The two current ranges are 4 to 20 mA, and 0 to 20 mA. In each of the current ranges, values
between 0 and 32767 are reported back from the module to sent to the module for the entire
range.

IC693ALG442 Ramp Mode Operation

The ramp mode operation represents a separate mode of the module’s outputs. When an output
channel is not in ramp mode, new values entered in the corresponding %AQ reference cause the
output to step to the commanded values as shown in Figure 3-52. When an output channel is in
ramp mode, new values entered in the corresponding %AQ reference cause the output to ramp
to the given values using ramp variables which have been assigned to the channel using ladder
logic. The ramp is composed of output steps taken every 1 millisecond.

Figure 12-7. Output Behavior in Ramp Mode and in Standard Mode

The default mode of both outputs is standard mode.

mode. Ramp mode and ramp variables are set
using an E2 COMMREQ in ladder logic as described below. The mode of each output channel
is set independent of the mode of the other channel. When an output is in ramp mode, two
lower-level modes can be used to specify the ramp slope: time mode, in which the user
provides the total ramp time in milliseconds, and step mode, in which the user provides the step
in %AQ counts that will be taken every 1 millisecond.

Setting the Ramp Mode

An E2 COMMREQ is used to change the ramp mode of an output channel. This is the same
COMMREQ that is used to change the input alarm limits of the module and clear the %I error
code. When the module receives the COMMREQ, the first word, or command word, is checked
to determine whether the ramp settings or alarm limits are being changed or whether the %I
error code is being cleared.
When step mode is specified, the second COMMREQ data word contains the ramp step in
%AQ counts. Valid step values range from 1 to 32000. The direction of the ramp is determined
when the value of the corresponding %AQ reference changes. Once the ramp mode and step
have been set, changing the corresponding %AQ value causes the output to ramp to the new
value.
When time mode is specified, the second COMMREQ data word contains the total time in
milliseconds it will take for the output to ramp from the present output value to the final output
value. The present and final values are specified by the old and new values of the
corresponding %AQ reference. Valid ramp time values range from 1 to 32000, which
correspond to ramp times of 1 millisecond to 32 seconds. Once the ramp mode and time have
been set, changing the corresponding %AQ value causes the output to ramp to the new value.
If an E2 COMMREQ is issued to the module to change the ramp settings while the indicated
output is in the process of ramping, the new ramp settings will take effect as follows:

12-18 Series 90–30 PLC I/O Module Specifications – July 2000 GFK–0898F
 IC693ALG442 Analog Combination I/O Module 12

! If the ramp mode is turned off during a ramp, the output will step completely to the final
value (indicated by the corresponding %AQ reference).
! If step mode is turned on during a ramp, the new step is used as soon as the COMMREQ is
processed (assuming that the step is valid).
! If time mode is turned on during a ramp, the module will immediately begin a new ramp
using the present output as the starting output and the present time as the start time.
In all cases, changing the value of the corresponding %AQ reference will cause the output to
begin a new ramp from the present output value.

Error Handling
If the module receives E2 COMMREQ data that indicates an invalid channel or a step height or
ramp time that is out of range, the module will ignore the COMMREQ and return an error code
in the first byte of %I data assigned to the module. The error code will be cleared when a Clear
Errors E2 COMMREQ is sent to the module or when the module is reconfigured. Range
checking of %AQ values received by the module is performed before the values are used in
ramp computations. %AQ data which is out of range is clipped to the nearest valid value by the
module.

E2 COMMREQ for IC693ALG442

The E2 COMMREQ allows you to modify the input alarm limits, set the output ramp mode and
parameters, and clear the %I error code. The E2 COMMREQ uses the standard COMMREQ
format. See Chapter 4 of the Series 90-30/20/Micro PLC CPU Instruction Set Reference
Manual, GFK-0467, and Chapter 8 of the Hand-Held Programmer for Series 9030/90-20/Micro
Programmable Controllers User’s Manual, GFK-0402, for more information on the
COMMREQ.

E2 COMMREQ Command Block

The E2 COMMREQ command block consists of 10 words as shown in Table 3-25. Example E2
COMMREQ data in hexadecimal format is included in the table for clarity.

00C0 Clear %I error code; word 2 is ignored.

* 1 through 4 are valid channels for changing alarm levels.

1 and 2 are valid channels for setting ramp modes.

You can change the high and low alarm limits for any of the four input channels. Two modes
are available to modify the alarm data: absolute mode and relative mode.
! When using absolute mode
mode, the alarm data sent by the COMMREQ specifies the actual new
alarm value.
! When using relative mode
mode, the alarm data specifies the positive or negative change in the
alarm value that is added to the present value.
The module verifies that the new alarm limit requested is not out of range and does not violate
the condition HIGH>LOW. If an invalid request is made to change an alarm value, the
corresponding error code will be returned in the upper four bits of the first byte of %I references
assigned to the module.

E2 COMMREQ Example
The following ladder logic provides an example of setting up E2 COMMREQ data and issuing
the COMMREQ. As with all COMMREQs, it is recommended that the ladder verify the
completion of the E2 COMMREQ in progress before initiating another. This ensures that the
module does not receive COMMREQs faster than it can process them. One way to do this is to
zero the contents of the COMMREQ status (%R0001 in this example) as the COMMREQ is
enabled. Since the status returned for a completed COMMREQ is never zero, a non-zero status
word will then indicate that the COMMREQ has completed.

GFK–0898F Chapter12 – IC693ALG442 Analog Combination I/O Module 12-21

12

In this example, the COMMREQ command block begins at %R0002 and is initialized on the
first scan. It is assumed that the 6 bytes of COMMREQ data sent to the module are moved into
%R0101–%R0103 before the COMMREQ is enabled. The module is located in rack 0, slot 2
so the SYSID input to the COMMREQ is 0002. Setting %T0001 moves zero into the
COMMREQ status word, enables %T0003 for one sweep to initiate the COMMREQ, and sets
%T0002 to begin checking the status word. When a non-zero status word is detected, %T0002
is reset to discontinue checking and %T0004 is set to indicate that the module is ready for the
next COMMREQ. Reference %M0001 is set if a COMMREQ fault occurs.

Freeze Mode
If an alarm value in the allowed range (–32768 to 32760) is entered that results in an invalid
condition, such as a low alarm limit greater than an upper alarm limit or a negative alarm for a
channel in a unipolar range, the module will enter freeze mode. In this mode, you will not be
allowed to move beyond the present channel parameters (range, low alarm limit and high alarm
limit) until the invalid condition is corrected or removed. Freeze mode is indicated on the HHP
screen by an asterisk (!) after the slot number. For example, if a low alarm limit of –1000 is
entered for input channel 1 in the 0,10V range the following screen will be displayed:
