What Are ControlLogix Digital I/O Modules?

Using an I/O Module in

the ControlLogix System

ControlLogix modules mount in a ControlLogix chassis and use a

Removable Terminal Block (RTB) or a Bulletin 1492 Interface
Module(1) cable that connects to an IFM to connect all field-side
wiring.
Before you install and use your module you should have already:
installed and grounded a 1756 chassis and power supply(2). To
install these products, refer to the publications listed in
Table Preface.3 on page Preface-3.

WARNING

When you insert or remove the module while

backplane power is on, an electrical arc can occur.
This could cause an explosion in hazardous location
installations. Be sure that power is removed or the
area is nonhazardous before proceeding.

Repeated electrical arcing causes excessive wear to contacts on both

the module and its mating connector. Worn contacts may create
electrical resistance that can affect module operation.

Digital I/O Operation in the ControlLogix System

Ownership

Every I/O module in the ControlLogix system must be owned by a

Logix5000 controller. This owner-controller:
stores configuration data for every module that it owns.
can be local or remote in regard to the I/O modules position.
sends the I/O module configuration data to define the modules
behavior and begin operation with the control system.
Each ControlLogix I/O module must continuously maintain
communication with its owner-controller to operate normally.
Typically, each module in the system will have only 1 owner. Input
modules can have more than 1 owner. Output modules, however, are
limited to a single owner.
For more information on the increased flexibility provided by multiple
owners and the ramifications of using multiple owners, see page 2-19.

Using RSNetWorx and

RSLogix 5000

The I/O configuration portion of RSLogix5000 generates the

configuration data for each I/O module in the control system, whether
the module is located in a local or remote chassis. A remote chassis,
also known as networked, contains the I/O module but not the
modules owner-controller. Remote chassis can be connected to the
controller via a scheduled ControlNet or an EtherNet/IP network.
Configuration data is transferred to the controller during the program
download and subsequently transferred to the appropriate I/O
modules.

Preliminary Publication 1756-UM058D-EN-P - October 2004

Digital I/O Operation in the ControlLogix System

2-3

I/O modules in the local chassis, and modules in a remote chassis that
is connected via the EtherNet/IP network, are ready to run as soon as
the configuration data has been downloaded. However, you must run
RSNetWorx for ControlNet to enable I/O modules in a scheduled
ControlNet chassis.
Running RSNetWorx transfers configuration data to I/O modules on
scheduled ControlNet and establishes a Network Update Time (NUT)
for ControlNet that is compliant with the desired communications
options specified for each module during configuration.
Anytime a controller references an I/O module in a scheduled
ControlNet chassis, you must run RSNetWorx to configure ControlNet.
Follow these general guidelines when configuring I/O modules:
1. Configure all I/O modules for a given controller using
RSLogix 5000 and download that information to the controller.
2. If the I/O configuration data references a module in a remote
chassis connected by scheduled ControlNet, run RSNetWorx.
3. After running RSNetWorx, perform an online save of the
RSLogix 5000 project so the configuration infromation that
RSNetWorx sends to the controller is saved.
IMPORTANT

You must run RSNetWorx whenever a new module

is added to a scheduled ControlNet chassis. When a
module is permanently removed from a remote
chassis, we recommend that RSNetWorx be run to
optimize the allocation of network bandwidth.

Digital I/O Operation in the ControlLogix System

Internal Module Operations

Signal propogation delays exist with ControlLogix I/O modules that

must be accounted for when operating them. Some of these delays are
user-selectable, and some are inherent to the module hardware. For
example, there is a small delay (typically less than 1mS) between
when a signal is applied at the RTB of a ControlLogix input module
and when a signal is sent to the system over the ControlBus; this
typical time reflects a filter time of 0mS for a DC input.
This section offers an explanation of the time limitations with
ControlLogix I/O modules.

Input Modules
As shown below, ControlLogix input modules receive a signal at the
RTB and process it internally (i.e., hardware delay, filter delay, ASIC
delay) before sending a signal to the ControlBus via the Requested
Packet Interval (RPI) or at a Change of State (COS) occurrence.

Many factors (e.g. module type, voltage,

temperature, if the module is turning ON or OFF)
affect the signal propogation delay on a module. But
a typical delay time can be estimated.
For example, if you are turning ON a 1756-IB16
module at 24V dc in 25C conditions, the signal
propogation delay is affected by:
hardware delay to energize the module (typically
290S on this module)
user-configurable filter time (0, 1, or 2mS)
ASIC scan (200S)
In the best case scenario (i.e., filter time of 0mS), the
1756-IB16 module has a 490S signal
propogation delay.
These times are not guaranteed. We list nominal and
maximum delay times for each module in Chapter 7.

Output Modules
ControlLogix output modules receive a signal from the controller and
process it internally (i.e., ASIC delay and hardware delay) before
sending a signal to the output device via the RTB.

As previously stated, many factors (e.g. module type,

module. But a typical delay time can be estimated.
For example, if you are turning ON a 1756-OB16E
module at 24V dc in 25C conditions, the signal
propogation delay is affected by:
hardware delay to energize the module (typically
70S on this module)
ASIC scan (10S)
In the best case scenario, the 1756-OB16E module
has a 80S signal propogation delay.
These times are not guaranteed. We list nominal and
maximum delay times for each module in Chapter 7.

Digital I/O Operation in the ControlLogix System

Connections

With respect to ControlLogix I/O modules, a connection is the data

transfer link between a controller and an I/O module. There are two
types of connections:
Direct Connections
Rack Connections
See Table 2.2 on page 2-9 for differences between connection types.
The table also lists the advantages and disadvantages of each type.

Direct Connections
A direct connection is a real-time data transfer link between the
controller and the device that occupies the slot that the configuration
data references. When module configuration data is downloaded to an
owner-controller, the controller attempts to establish a direct
connection to each of the modules referenced by the data.
If a controller has configuration data referencing a slot in the control
system, the controller periodically checks for the presence of a device
there. When a devices presence is detected there, the controller
automatically sends the configuration data.
If the data is appropriate to the module found in the slot, a connection
is made and operation begins. If the configuration data is not
appropriate, the data is rejected and an error message displays in the
software. In this case, the configuration data can be inappropriate for
any of a number of reasons. For example, a modules configuration
data may be appropriate except for a mismatch in electronic keying
that prevents normal operation.
The controller maintains and monitors its connection with a module.
Any break in the connection, such as module faults or removal of the
module from the chassis while under power, causes the controller to
set fault status bits in the data area associated with the module. The
RSLogix 5000 software monitors this data area to annunciate the
modules failures.

Preliminary Publication 1756-UM058D-EN-P - October 2004

Digital I/O Operation in the ControlLogix System

2-7

Rack Connections
When a digital I/O module is located in a remote chassis (with respect
to its owner), you may select rack optimization or listen-only rack
optimization in the Communications Format field during initial
module configuration. This depends on the bridge module
(1756-CNB) configuration. If the CNB is selected for Listen-Only rack
option, then the I/O module only allows the Listen-Only rack option.
A rack connection economizes connection usage between the
owner-controller and digital I/O in the remote chassis. Rather than
having several direct connections with individual RPI values, the
owner-controller has a single rack connection with a single RPI value.
That RPI value accommodates all digital I/O modules in the rack
connection.
IMPORTANT

Because rack connections are only applicable in

applications that use a remote chassis, you must
configure the Communications Format for both the
remote I/O module and the remote 1756-CNB
module.
Make sure you configure both modules for Rack
Optimization. If you choose a different
Communications Format for each, the controller
makes two connections to the same chassis (one for
each format) and the same data travels across
ControlNet.
If you use Rack Optimization for both modules, you
preserve bandwidth and configure your system to
operate more efficiently.

The input (or data echo) information is limited to general faults and
data. No additional status (e.g. diagnostic) is available.
IMPORTANT

Each controller can only establish 250 connections,

in any combination of direct or rack. In other words,
you can use a rack connection between an
owner-controller and multiple remote I/O modules
while simultaneously using a direct connection
between that same controller and any other I/O
modules in the same remote chassis.

Digital I/O Operation in the ControlLogix System

In Figure 2.3, the owner-controller is communicating with all I/O

modules in the remote chassis but has used only one connection. The
data from all three modules is sent together simultaneously at the RPI.
This option eliminates the need for three separate connections.

Rack connections are only available to digital I/O

modules. Although analog modules can only use
direct connections, the system can make both direct
and rack connections to the same chassis.

Suggestions for Rack Connection Usage

We recommend that you use a rack connection for applications
in which:
standard digital I/O modules are used.
non-fused digital output modules are used.
your owner-controller is running low on connections.
IMPORTANT

Preliminary Publication 1756-UM058D-EN-P - October 2004

Do not use a rack connection for diagnostic I/O

modules or fused output modules. Diagnostic and
fused output data will not be transferred over a rack
connection. This defeats the purpose of using those
modules.

Digital I/O Operation in the ControlLogix System

Table 2.2 lists the differences between connection types and the
advantages/disadvantages of each.

Connection Type

Advantages

Disadvantages

Direct connections

All input and data echo

information is transferred,
including diagnostic
information and fusing data.

With more data transferring

over the network, your
system does not operate as
efficiently as with rack
connections.

Rack connections

Connection usage is
economized. The
owner-controller has a
single RPI value for each
rack connection.

Input and data echo

information is limited to
general faults and data.

In traditional I/O systems, controllers poll input modules to obtain

their input status. In the ControlLogix system, a controller does not
poll digital input modules. Instead, the modules multicast their data
either upon Change of State or periodically. The frequency depends
on the options chosen during configuration and where in the control
system that input module physically resides.
IMPORTANT

This is called the Producer/Consumer model. The

input module is the producer of input data and the
controller is the consumer of the data.

All ControlLogix inputs are updated asynchronous to the controllers

task execution. In other words, an input may be updaed in the
controller at any time during the controllers execution of the tasks it
is configured to run. The input device determines when the input is
sent, based on its configuration.
An input modules behavior also varies depending upon whether it
operates in the local chassis or in a remote chassis. The following
sections detail the differences in data transfers between these set-ups.

Preliminary Publication 1756-UM058D-EN-P - October 2004

2-10

Digital I/O Operation in the ControlLogix System

Input Modules in
a Local Chassis

When a module resides in the same chassis as the owner-controller,

the following two configuration parameters will affect how and when
an input module multicasts data:
Requested Packet Interval (RPI)
Change of State (COS)

Requested Packet Interval (RPI)

This interval specifies the rate at which a module multicasts its data.
The time ranges from 100 microseconds to 750 milliseconds and is
sent to the module with all other configuration parameters. When the
specified time frame elapses, the module will multicast data. This is
also called a cyclic update.

Change of State (COS)

This parameter instructs the module to transfer data whenever a
specified input point transitions from ON to OFF or OFF to ON.
IMPORTANT

The module COS feature defaults to Enabled for both

ON to OFF and OFF to ON.

COS selection occurs on a per-point basis, but all module data is

multicast when any point enabled for COS changes state. COS is more
efficient than RPI because it multicasts data only when a change
occurs.
IMPORTANT

Preliminary Publication 1756-UM058D-EN-P - October 2004

You must specify an RPI regardless of whether you

enable COS. If a change does not occur within the
RPI timeframe, the module will still multicast data at
the rate specified by the RPI.

Digital I/O Operation in the ControlLogix System

2-11

For example, if an input is changing state consistently every 2 seconds

and the RPI is set at 750mS, the data transfer will look like Figure 2.4:

41381

Because the RPI and COS functions are asynchronous to the program
scan, it is possible for an input to change state during program scan
execution. The point must be buffered to prevent this. Copy the
input data from your input tags to another structure and use the data
from there.
TIP

Triggering Event Tasks

To minimize traffic and conserve bandwidth, we

recommend you use a larger RPI value if the COS
option is used and the module is located in the same
chassis as its owner.

When configured to do so, ControlLogix digital input modules can

trigger an event task. The event task offers ControlLogix controller
users a task that executes a section of logic immediately when an
event (i.e., receipt of new data) occurs.
Your ControlLogix digital I/O module can trigger event tasks
whenever module input data state changes (e.g. when a COS occurs).
When using a digital input module to trigger an event task, remember
these considerations:
Only one input module can trigger a specific event task.
Input modules trigger the event task based on the modules COS
configuration. The COS configuration defines which points
prompt the module to produce data if they turn on or off. This
production of data (due to COS) triggers the event task.
Typically, enable COS for only one point on the module. If you
enable COS for multiple points, a task overlap of the event task
may occur.
For more information on using event tasks, see the Logix5000
Controllers Common Procedures Programming Manual, publication
1756-PM001.
Preliminary Publication 1756-UM058D-EN-P - October 2004

2-12

Digital I/O Operation in the ControlLogix System

Input Modules in a
Remote Chassis

If an input module physically resides in a chassis other than where the

owner-controller is (e.g. a remote chassis connected via ControlNet),
the role of the RPI and the modules COS behavior changes slightly
with respect to getting data to the owner.
The RPI and COS behavior still define when the module will multicast
data within its own chassis (as described in the previous section),
but only the value of the RPI determines when the owner-controller
will receive it over the network.

Remote Input Module Connected Via ControlNet

When an RPI value is specified for an input module in a remote
chassis connected by a scheduled ControlNet network, in addition to
instructing the module to multicast data within its own chassis, the RPI
also reserves a spot in the stream of data flowing across the
ControlNet network.
The timing of this reserved spot may or may not coincide with the
exact value of the RPI, but the control system will guarantee that the
owner-controller will receive data at least as often as the specified
RPI.

The reserved spot on the network and the modules RPI are
asynchronous to each other. This means there are Best and Worst Case
scenarios as to when the owner-controller will receive updated
channel data from the module in a networked chassis.

Preliminary Publication 1756-UM058D-EN-P - October 2004

Digital I/O Operation in the ControlLogix System

2-13

Best Case RPI Multicast Scenario

In the Best Case scenario, the module performs an RPI multicast with
updated channel data just before the reserved network slot is made
available. In this case, the remotely-located owner-controller receives
the data almost immediately.

Worst Case RPI Multicast Scenario

In the Worst Case scenario, the module performs an RPI multicast just
after the reserved network slot has passed. In this case, the
owner-controller will not receive data until the next available
network slot.
IMPORTANT

Enabling the COS feature on an input module in a

remote chassis allows the module to multicast data at
both the RPI rate and when the input changes state.
This helps to reduce the Worst Case time.

Table 2.3 summarizes the Best Case and Worst Case scenarios, from
the time an input changes state to the time the owner-controller will
receive the data:

Digital I/O Operation in the ControlLogix System

Remote Input Modules Connected Via EtherNet/IP

When remote digital input modules are connected to the
owner-controller via an EtherNet/IP network, data is transferred to the
owner-controller in the following way:
At the RPI, the module multicasts data within its own chassis.
The 1756-ENBT module in the remote chassis immediately sends
the modules data over the network to the owner-controller as
long as it has not sent data within a timeframe that is 1/4 the
value of the digital input modules RPI.
For example, if a digital input module uses an RPI = 100ms, the
1756-ENBT module only sends module data immediately on
receiving it if another data packet was not sent within the
last 25ms.

Output Module Operation

An owner-controller sends output data to an output module when

either one of two things occur:
at the end of every one of its tasks (local chassis only)
and/or
at the rate specified in the modules RPI
When an output module physically resides in a remote chassis (with
respect to the owner-controller), the owner-controller sends data to
the output module only at the RPI rate specified for the module.
Updates are not performed at the end of the owner-controllers tasks.
Whenever the module receives data from the controller, it immediately
multicasts the output commands it received to the rest of the system.
The actual output data is echoed by the output module as input data
and multicast back out onto the network. This is called Output Data
Echo. The Output Data Echo also may contain fault and diagnostic
information, depending on the module type.
IMPORTANT

Preliminary Publication 1756-UM058D-EN-P - October 2004

In this Producer/Consumer model, the output

module is the Consumer of the controllers output
data and the Producer of the data echo.

Digital I/O Operation in the ControlLogix System

Output Modules in

2-15

The owner-controller updates ControlLogix output modules in the

local chassis at the end of every task and at the RPI.
When you specify an RPI value for a digital output module, you
instruct the owner-controller when to broadcast the output data to the
module. If the module resides in the same chassis as the
owner-controller, the module receives the data almost immediately
after the owner-controller sent it (backplane transfer times are small).
Figure 2.6

Depending on the value of the RPI, with respect to the length of the
program scan, the output module can receive and echo data
multiple times during one program scan.

Output Modules in
a Remote Chassis

If an output module physically resides in a chassis other than that of

the owner-controller (i.e., a remote chassis connected via ControlNet),
the owner-controller sends data to the output module only at the RPI
rate specified. Updates are not performed at the end of the
controllers tasks.
In addition, the role of the RPI for a remote output module changes
slightly, with respect to getting data from the owner-controller.

Remote Output Modules Connected Via ControlNet

When an RPI value is specified for an output module in a remote
chassis connected to the owner-controller by a scheduled ControlNet

the output data within its own chassis, the RPI also reserves a spot
in the stream of data flowing across the ControlNet network.
The timing of this reserved spot may or may not coincide with the

The reserved spot on the network and when the controller sends the
output data are asynchronous to each other. This means there are Best
and Worst Case scenarios as to when the owner-controller will receive
updated channel data from the module in a networked chassis.

Best Case RPI Multicast Scenario

In the Best Case scenario, the owner-controller sends the output data
just before the reserved network slot is made available. In this case,
the remotely located output module receives the data almost
immediately.

Worst Case RPI Multicast Scenario

In the Worst Case scenario, the owner-controller sends the output data
just after the reserved network slot has passed. In this case, the
output module does not receive data until the next available

These Best and Worst Case scenarios indicate the

time required for output data to transfer from the
owner-controller to the module once the
owner-controller has produced it. They do not
take into account the user program time in the
owner-controller.
The receipt of new data is a function of the length of
the user program and its asynchronous relationship
with the RPI.
Also, if your application uses:
1756-CNB or 1756-CNBR, series D
RSLogix 5000, version 8 or greater
the owner-controller updates remotely-located digital
output modules at the end of each task as well as at
the RPI as described earlier in this section.

Digital I/O Operation in the ControlLogix System

Remote Output Modules Connected Via EtherNet/IP

When remote digital output modules are connected to the
owner-controller via an EtherNet/IP network, the controller multicasts
data in the following way:
1. At the RPI, the owner-controller multicasts data within its own
chassis.
2. The 1756-ENBT module in the local chassis immediately sends
the data over the network to the digital output module as long
as it has not sent data within a timeframe that is 1/4 the value of
the digital modules RPI.

Listen-Only Mode

Any controller in the system can listen to the data from any I/O
module (e.g. input data, echoed output data, or echoed diagnostic
information) even if the controller does not own the module (i.e., it
does not have to hold the modules configuration data to listen to the
module).
During the I/O configuration process, you can specify one of several
Listen modes in the Communication Format field. For more
information on Communications Format, see page 6-6.
Choosing a Listen mode option allows the controller and module to
establish communications without the controller sending any
configuration data. In this instance, another controller owns the
module being listened to.
IMPORTANT

In the Listen-Only mode, controllers will continue to

receive data multicast from the I/O module as long
as the connection between the owner-controller and
I/O module is maintained.
If the connection between owner-controller and
module is broken, the module stops multicasting
data and connections to all Listening controllers are
also broken.

Digital I/O Operation in the ControlLogix System

Multiple Owners
of Input Modules

2-19

Because Listening controllers lose their connections to modules

when communications with the owner-controller stop, the
ControlLogix system will allow you to define more than one
owner-controller for input modules.
IMPORTANT

Only input modules can have multiple owners. If

multiple owners are connected to the same input
module, they must maintain identical
configuration for that module.

In the example below, Controller A and Controller B have both been

configured to be the owner-controller of the input module.

As soon as a controller receives its user program, it will try to establish

a connection with the input module. Whichever controllers
configuration data arrives first establishes a connection. When the
second controllers data arrives, the module compares it to its current
configuration data (the data received and accepted from the first
controller).
If the configuration data sent by the second controller matches the
data sent by the first controller, that connection is also accepted. If any
parameter of the second configuration data is different from the first,
the module rejects the connection and the user is informed by an
error in the software or programatically via a ladder logic program.
The advantage of multiple owners over a Listen mode connection is
that now either of the controllers can break the connection to the
module and the module will continue to operate and multicast data to
the system because of the connection maintained by the other
controller.

Digital I/O Operation in the ControlLogix System

Configuration Changes in
an Input Module with
Multiple Owners

You must be careful when changing an input modules configuration

data in a multiple owner-controller scenario. When the configuration
data is changed in one of the owners, for example, Controller A, and
sent to the module, that configuration data is accepted as the new
configuration for the module. Controller B will continue to listen,
unaware that any changes have been made in the modules behavior

A pop-up screen in RSLogix 5000 alerts you to the

possibility of a multiple owner-controller situation
and allows you to inhibit the connection before
changing the modules configuration. When
changing configuration for a module with multiple
owners, we recommend the connection be inhibited.
To prevent other owners from receiving potentially
erroneous data, as described above, the following
steps must be followed when changing a modules
configuration in a multiple owner-controller scenario
while online:
1. For each owner-controller, inhibit the controllers
connection to the module, either in the software
on the Connection tab or the pop-up screen
warning of the multiple owner-controller
condition.
2. Make the appropriate configuration data changes
in the software. For detailed information on using
RSLogix 5000 to change configuration, see
Chapter 6.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for all owner-controllers,
making the exact same changes in all
controllers.
4. Disable the Inhibit box in each owners
configuration.

ControlLogix Standard Digital I/O Module Features

When designing a system using ControlLogix input modules, you

must consider:

the voltage necessary for your application

whether you need a solid state device
current leakage
if your application should use sinking or sourcing wiring.

For more information on compatibility of other Rockwell Automation

products to ControlLogix input modules, see the I/O Systems
Overview, publication CIG-SO001.

Determining Output
Module Compatibility

ControlLogix output modules may be used to drive a variety of output

devices. Typical output devices compatible with the ControlLogix
outputs include:
motor starters
solenoids
indicators
When designing a system:
make sure that the ControlLogix outputs can supply the
necessary surge and continuous current for proper operation.
make sure that the surge and continuous current are not
exceeded. Damage to the module could result.
When sizing output loads, check the documentation supplied with the
output device for the surge and continuous current needed to operate
the device.
The ControlLogix standard digital outputs are capable of directly
driving the ControlLogix standard digital inputs. The exceptions are
the ac and dc diagnostic input modules. When diagnostics are used a
shunt resistor is required for leakage current.
For more information specifically on the compatibility of motor
starters to ControlLogix output modules, see Appendix D.

ControlLogix Standard Digital I/O Module Features

Using Features Common to

ControlLogix Standard
Digital I/O Modules

The features described in this section are all available on all

ControlLogix standard digital I/O modules.

Removal and Insertion Under Power (RIUP)

All ControlLogix I/O modules may be inserted and removed from the
chassis while power is applied. This feature allows greater availability
of the overall control system because, while the module is being
removed or inserted, there is no additional disruption to the rest of the
controlled process.

Module Fault Reporting

ControlLogix digital I/O modules provide both hardware and software
indication when a module fault has occurred. Each modules LED fault
indicator and RSLogix 5000 will graphically display this fault and
include a fault message describing the nature of the fault.
This feature allows you to determine how your module has been
affected and what action should be taken to resume normal operation.

Fully Software Configurable

The RSLogix 5000 software uses a custom, easily understood interface
to write configuration. All module features are enabled or disabled
through the I/O configuration portion of the software.
You can also use the software to interrogate any module in the system
to retrieve:

serial number
revision information
product code
vendor identification
error/fault information
diagnostic counters.

By eliminating such tasks as setting hardware switches and jumpers,

the software makes module configuration easier and more reliable.

Preliminary Publication 1756-UM058D-EN-P - October 2004

ControlLogix Standard Digital I/O Module Features

3-5

Electronic Keying
Instead of plastic mechanical backplane keys, electronic keying allows
the ControlLogix system to control what modules belong in the
various slots of a configured system.
During module configuration, you must choose one of the following
keying options for your I/O module:
Exact Match
Compatible Module
Disable Keying
When the controller attempts to connect to and configure an I/O
module (e.g. after program download), the module compares the
following parameters before allowing the connection and
configuration to be accepted:

Vendor
Product Type
Product Code
Major Revision - Change that affects the modules function or
RSLogix 5000 interface
Minor Revision - Change that does not affect the modules
function or RSLogix 5000 interface (e.g. bug fixes)
The comparison is made between the keying information present in
the I/O module and the keying information in the controllers
program. This feature can prevent the inadvertent operation of a
control system with the wrong module in the wrong slot. For
example, if you select Exact Match and a module with revision 2.2 is
placed in a location configured for a module with revision 2.4, the
controller does not make a connection to the new module because of
the mismatched revisions.

Preliminary Publication 1756-UM058D-EN-P - October 2004

3-6

ControlLogix Standard Digital I/O Module Features

Table 3.3 describes the keying options available with your

ControlLogix digital I/O module.
Table 3.3
Keying option:

Definiton:

Exact Match

All of the parameters listed above must match or the inserted module will reject a connection to the controller.

Compatible Module

The Compatible Match mode allows an I/O module to determine whether it can emulate the module defined in
the configuration sent from the controller.
With ControlLogix digital I/O modules, the module can emulate older revisions. The module will accept the
configuration if the configurations major.minor revision is less than or equal to the physical modules revision.
For example, if the configuration contains a major.minor revision of 1.7, the module inserted into the slot must
have a firmware revision of 1.7 or higher for a connection to be made. When a module is inserted with a
major.minor revision that is less than the revision for which the slot is configured (i.e., the module has a
revison of 1.6 and the slot is configured for a module with revision 1.8), no connection is made between the
controller and the I/O module.

TIP

Disable Keying

We recommend using Compatible Match whenever possible. Remember, though, with

major revision changes, the module only works to the level of the configuration.
For example, if a slot is configured for a module with major.minor revision of 1.7 and you
insert a module with a major.minor revision of 2.3, the module works at the 1.7 level,
with respect to module functions that are related to RSLogix 5000 such as interface
changes. However, bug fixes that are affected by the modules firmware, would work at
the 2.3 revision level.
If possible, we suggest you make sure configuration is updated to match the revision
levels of all I/O modules. Failure to do so may not prevent the application from working
but may defeat the purpose of upgrading your modules revision levels.

The inserted module attempts to accept a connection to the controller regardless of its type.
ATTENTION

Be extremely cautious when using the disable keying option; if used incorrectly, this
option can lead to personal injury or death, property damage or economic loss.

If keying is disabled, a controller makes a connection with most modules of the same type as that used in the
slot configuration. For example, if a slot is configured for a 1756-IA16I (standard input module), and a
1756-IB16 (standard input module) is inserted into the slot, the controller established a connection because
keying is disabled.
A controller will not establish a connection if any of the following conditions exist, even if keying is disabled:
The slot is configured for one module type (e.g. input module) and a module of another type (e.g. output
module) is inserted in the slot.
The module inserted into the slot cannot accept some portion of the configuration. For example, if a
standard input module is inserted into a slot configured for a diagnostic input module, the controller
cannot make a connection because the module cannot accept/process the diagnostic configuration.

Preliminary Publication 1756-UM058D-EN-P - October 2004

ControlLogix Standard Digital I/O Module Features

3-7

Module Inhibiting
Module inhibiting allows you to indefinitely suspend a connection
between an owner-controller and an digital I/O module. This process
can occur in either of the following ways:
You write configuration for an I/O module but inhibit the
module to prevent it from communicating with the
owner-controller. In this case, the owner does not establish a
connection and configuration is not sent to the module until the
connection is uninhibited.
In your application, a controller already owns a module, has
downloaded configuration to the module and is currently
exchanging data over the connection between the devices. In
this case, you can inhibit the module and the owner-controller
behaves as if the connection to the module does not exist.
IMPORTANT

Whenever you inhibit an output module, it enters the

program mode and all outputs change to the state
configured for the program mode. For example, if an
output module is configured so that the state of the
outputs go to zero (0) during program mode,
whenever that module is inhibited, the outputs will
go to zero (0).

The following examples are instances where you may need to use
module inhibiting:
Multiple controllers own the same digital input module. A
change is required in the modules configuration; however, the
change must be made to the program in all controllers. In this
case, you can:
a. Inhibit the module.
b. Change configuration in all controllers.
c. Unihibit the module.
You want to FLASH upgrade an digital I/O module. We
recommend you:
a. Inihibit the module.
b. Perform the upgrade.
c. Uninhibit the module.
You are using a program that includes a module that you do not
physically possess yet, but you do not want the controller to
continually look for a module that does not exist yet. In this
case, you can inhibit the module in your program until it
physically resides in the proper slot.
Preliminary Publication 1756-UM058D-EN-P - October 2004

3-8

ControlLogix Standard Digital I/O Module Features

Using the System Clock to Timestamp Inputs and

Schedule Outputs
Controllers generate a 64-bit Coordinated System Time (CST) for their
respective chassis. The CST is a chassis-specific time that is not
synchronized with, or in any way connected to, the time generated
over ControlNet to establish a NUT, as described in Chapter 2.
You can configure your digital input modules to access the CST and
timestamp input data with a relative time reference (i.e., the value
of the CST) of when that input data changes state.
IMPORTANT

Because only one CST value is returned to the

controller when any input point changes state, it is
recommended that you use timestamping on only
one input point per module.

Table 3.4 describes the ways you can use the system clock.
Table 3.4
Use of timestamping:

Definition:

Timestamping for a
Sequence of Events

The CST can be used to establish a sequence of events occurring at a particular input module point by
timestamping the input data. To determine a sequence of events, you must:
Set the input modules communications format to: CST Timestamped Input Data
Enable Change of state for the input point where a sequence will occur (Disable COS for all other
points on the module)

TIP

Timestamping in
Conjunction with
Scheduled Outputs

If you decide to configure multiple input points for COS, your module generates a
unique CST each time any of those input points change state, as long as the changes
do not occur within 500S of each other.
If multiple input points configured for COS change state within 500s of each other, a
single CST value is generated for all, making it appear that they changed at exactly
the same time.

Timestamping can be used in conjunction with the scheduled outputs feature so that after input data
changes state and a timestamp occurs, an output point will actuate at some configured time in the future.
You can schedule outputs up to 16 seconds into the future.
When you use timestamping of inputs and scheduled outputs, you must:
choose a Communications Format for each input and output module that allows timestamping. For
more information on choosing a Communications Format, see Chapter 6.
have a controller in the same rack as both I/O modules
disable Change of State for all input points on the input module except the point being timestamped

TIP

For scheduled outputs to work most effectively, remember the following:

The time to schedule outputs to transition in the future must account for any
controller, backplane and network delays.
The I/O modules must reside in the same rack as the timemaster.
For a detailed example of how to write ladder logic to use these features, see
page B-9.

3-9

Module Major Revision Considerations with Timestamping

When using timestamping for inputs or diagnostic timestamping of
I/O modules, remember the following conditions that may occur
depending on the modules Major Revision:
If the module has a Major Revision = 1, it will always return a
positive timestamping value.
If the module has a Major Revision > 2, it will return a negative
timestamping value until the module is synchronized with the
owner-controller and the first Change of State condition occurs.
Look at the Module Properties page of RSLogix 5000 to determine if
the module has been synchronized with the owner-controller and
whether the controller is synchronized with the CST.
For more information on synchronizing owner-controllers and
modules with the CST, see the ControlLogix System User Manual,
publication 1756-UM001.

Producer/Consumer Model
By using the Producer/Consumer model, ControlLogix I/O modules
can produce data without having been polled by a controller first. The
modules produce the data and any other owner-controller device can
decide to consume it.
For example, an input module produces data and any number of
processors can consume the data at the same time. This eliminates the
need for one processor to send the data to another processor. For a
more detailed explanation of this process, see page 2-19.

ControlLogix Standard Digital I/O Module Features

Status Indicator Information

Each ControlLogix digital I/O module has an LED status indicator on
the front of the module that allows you to check the module health
and operational status of a module. The LED displays vary for each
module.
Table 3.5 describes what status each LED indicator represents:
Table 3.5
Status:

Description:

I/O status
(ST LEDs)

This yellow display indicates the ON/OFF state of the field device.
IMPORTANT

For the 1756-OA8D and 1756-OA8E modules,

the I/O status indicator does not illuminate
without field power applied.

Module status
(OK LED)

This green display indicates the modules communication status.

Fault status
(FLT LEDs)

This display is only found on some modules and indicates the presence
or absence of various faults.

Fuse status
(FUSE LED)

This display is only found on electronically fused modules and

indicates the state of the modules fuse.

For examples of LED status indicators on ControlLogix digital I/O

modules, see Chapter 7.

Full Class I Division 2 Compliance

All ControlLogix digital I/O modules maintain CSA Class I Division 2
system certification. This allows the ControlLogix system to be placed
in an environment other than only a 100% hazard free.
IMPORTANT

Modules should not be pulled under power, nor

should a powered RTB be removed, in a Class I
Division 2 environment.

UL, CSA, FM, CE, C-Tick, EEx, TUV Agency Approvals

Any ControlLogix digital I/O modules that have obtained UL, CSA, FM,
CE, C-Tick, EEx, TUV agency approval are marked as such. Ultimately,
all digital modules will have these agency approvals and be marked
accordingly.

Data Transfer on Either Change of State or Cyclic Time

Your ControlLogix input module sends data in one of the ways
described in Table 3.6:
Table 3.6
Method of
Sending Data:

Description

Requested
Packet Interval

A user defined rate at which the module updates the information sent
to its owner-controller. This is also known as Cyclic Data Transfer.

Change of State

Configurable feature that, when enabled, instructs the module to

update its owner-controller with new data whenever a specified input
point transitions from ON to OFF or OFF to ON. The data will be sent at
the RPI rate. By default, this setting is always enabled for input
modules.

Digital input modules always send data at the RPI but only send data
at a change of state if the COS feature is enabled. Set the RPI rate and
enable COS for specific input points as shown below.

ControlLogix Standard Digital I/O Module Features

Software Configurable Filter Times

ON to OFF and OFF to ON filter times can be adjusted through
RSLogix 5000 software for all ControlLogix input modules. These
filters improve noise immunity within a signal. A larger filter value
affects the length of delay times for signals from these modules.
Set filter times as shown below.

Use the pulldown to set the

input filter times on the
Configuration tab.

Isolated and Non-Isolated Varieties of Modules

ControlLogix input modules provide isolated or non-isolated wiring
options. Some applications require power for the I/O circuits to
originate on separate, isolated, power sources. Because these
conditions require separate commons for each channel, some input
modules use individual isolation, or point-to-point isolation.
Other types of isolation available with ControlLogix input modules are
channel-to-channel isolation and no isolation. Your application
determines what type of isolation is necessary and which input
module to use.

Multiple Input Point Densities

ControlLogix input modules use either 8, 16, or 32-point densities for
greater flexibility in your application.

Configurable Point-Level Output Fault States

Individual outputs can be independently configured to unique fault
states, either ON, OFF or Last State in case of a communications
failure or program mode.
IMPORTANT

Whenever you inhibit an output module, it enters the

program mode and all outputs change to the state
configured for the program mode.
For example, if an output module is configured so
that the state of the outputs turn off during program
mode, whenever that module is inhibited, the
outputs will turn off.

ControlLogix Standard Digital I/O Module Features

Output Data Echo

During normal operation, when a processor sends an output
command out to the ControlLogix system, the output module that is
targeted for that command will return the commanded state of the
output to the system to verify the module received the command and
will try to execute it.
Other devices can use this broadcast signal (via a listen-only
connection) to determine the desired state of the output without
having to interrogate the owner-controller.

Monitor Fault Bits

The Output Data Echo only matches the commanded state of the
outputs if the module is operating under normal conditions. If there is
a problem with the module, the commanded state and the Output
Data Echo may not match.
You can monitor the fault bits for your output points for fault
conditions. If a fault occurs, the fault bit is set and your program alerts
you to the condition. In this case, the output data echo may not match
the commanded state of the outputs.
If there is a mismatch between the commanded state of the outputs
and the Output Data Echo, check your output module for the
following conditions:
Communications fault
Connection is inhibited
Blown fuse - Module will not turn ON output if overload/short
circuit is detected.
Loss of field power (1756-OA8D and 1756-OA8E only) - Module
will not turn ON output if no AC power is detected.

Field Wiring Options

As with input modules, ControlLogix output modules provide isolated
or non-isolated wiring options. I/O modules provide point-to-point,
group-to-group, or channel-to-channel wiring isolation. Your specific
application will determine what type of isolation is necessary and
which output module to use.
IMPORTANT

Although some ControlLogix I/O modules provide

non-isolated field side wiring options, each I/O
module maintains internal electrical isolation
between the system side and field side.

Multiple Output Point Densities

ControlLogix output modules use either 8, 16, or 32 point densities for
greater flexibility in your application.

Fusing
Some digital outputs have internal electronic or mechanical fusing to
prevent too much current from flowing through the module. This
feature protects the module from electrical damage. Other modules
require external fusing.
Reset an electronic fuse through RSLogix 5000 configuration software
or through ladder logic running on a controller. For an example of
how to reset an electronic fuse, see page 6-19.
IMPORTANT

Electronic fuses are also reset through a software

reset or when the output module is power cycled.

(1)

For voltages above 132V ac, the IFMs are not an acceptable means to provide external fusing. You must use a rated terminal block for the intended application.

(2)

Electronic protection is not intended to replace fuses, circuit breakers, or other code required wiring protection devices.

(3)

The electronic protection of this module has been designed to provide protection for the module from short circuit conditions. The protection is based on a thermal cut-out
principle. In the event of a short circuit condition on an output channel, that channel will limit the current within milliseconds after its thermal cut-out temperature has
been reached. All other channels with a NUT of that group will continue to operate as directed by the module master (CPU, Bridge, etc.)

(4)

A fuse is provided on each common of this module for a total of 2 fuses. The fuses are designed to protect the module from short circuit conditions. The fuse does not
provide overload protection. In the event of an overload on an output channel, it is likely that the fuse will not blow and the output device associated with that channel will
be damaged. To provide overload protection for your application, user supplied fuses should be externally installed.

(5)

If a short circuit condition occurs on any channel within this modules group, the entire group is turned off.

(6)

The module does not provide protection against reverse polarity wiring or wiring to AC power sources.

(7)

The recommended fuse for this module has been sized to provide short circuit protection for wiring only to external loads. In the event of a short circuit on an output
channel, it is likely that the transistor or relay associated with that channel will be damaged and the module should be replaced or a spare output channel used for the
load. The fuse does not provide overload protection. In the event of an overload on an output channel, it is likely that the fuse will not blow and the transistor or relay
associated with that channel will be damaged. To provide overload protection for your application, user supplied fuse should be installed externally and properly sized to
match the individual load characteristics.

(8)

Bulletin 1492 IFM may not be used in any application that requires agency certification of the ControlLogix system. Use of the IFM violates the UL, CSA and FM
certifications of this product.

ControlLogix Standard Digital I/O Module Features

Field Power Loss Detection

For the standard digital output modules, the Field Power Loss
detection feature is found on the 1756-OA8E only. When field power
to the module is lost, or zero cross cannot be detected, a point level
fault is sent to the controller to identify the exact point faulted.
IMPORTANT

Only enable Field Power Loss detection for points

that are in use. If this feature is enabled for points
that are not in use, you will receive faults for those
points during operation.

Enable Field Power Loss detection on the 1756-OA8E module as

shown below.

Diagnostic Latch of Information

For the standard digital I/O modules, the Diagnostic Latch of
Information feature is found on the 1756-OA8E module only.
Diagnostic Latching allows this module to latch a fault in the set
position once it has been triggered, even if the error condition causing
the fault to occur disappears.
Latched diagnostic features can be cleared by the Reset Diagnostic
Latch service. Enable Field Power Loss detection on the 1756-OA8E

ControlLogix Standard Digital I/O Module Features

Time Scheduled Output Control

Time scheduled output control is a feature available on the first 8
outputs of the 1756-OB16IS module only.
Using the time scheduled output control feature, the module can turn
the outputs ON or OFF at a specific CST time. You can set the time
setpoint (in 100s increments) for the output to turn ON or OFF in the
application program, and the 1756-OB16IS module manages the time
locally such that the output is turned ON or OFF at the time specified.

Using the Motion Axis Output Cam (MAOC) Instructions with Time Scheduled
Output Control
The MAOC instruction provides position-based control of outputs,
using position and velocity information of any motion axis. When the
1756-OB16IS module is specified as the output source for the MAOC
instruction, then the MAOC instruction automatically handles the
time-based output scheduling and enables it on the first 8 outputs on
the 1756-OB16IS module. The benefit of using output scheduling in
this manner is that the resolution of the output control is improved
from the motion coarse update rate (typically 1-32ms), to 100s.
You can also use the second 8 outputs on the 1756-OB16IS module
with the MAOC instruction. However, only the first 8 outputs have
100s resolution. The second 8 outputs are updated at the motion
coarse update rate.

ControlLogix Diagnostic Digital I/O Module Features

When designing a system using ControlLogix input modules, you

must consider:

the voltage necessary for your application

whether you need a solid state device
current leakage
if your application should use sinking or sourcing wiring.

For more information on compatibility of other Allen-Bradley

Company products to ControlLogix input modules, see the I/O
Systems Overview, publication CIG-SO001.

Determining Diagnostic
Output Module
Compatibility

ControlLogix output modules may be used to drive a variety of output

devices. Typical output devices compatible with the ControlLogix
outputs include:
motor starters
solenoids
indicators
When designing a system:
make sure that the ControlLogix outputs can supply the
necessary surge and continuous current for proper operation.
make sure that the surge and continuous current are not
exceeded. Damage to the module could result.
When sizing output loads, check the documentation supplied with the
output device for the surge and continuous current needed to operate
the device.
ControlLogix diagnostic digital outputs are capable of directly driving
the ControlLogix diagnostic digital inputs. When diagnostics are used
a shunt resistor is required for leakage current.

ControlLogix Diagnostic Digital I/O Module Features

Using Features Common to

ControlLogix Diagnostic
Digital I/O Modules

The features described in this section are all available on all

ControlLogix diagnostic digital I/O modules.

Removal and Insertion Under Power (RIUP)

All ControlLogix I/O diagnostic modules may be inserted and
removed from the chassis while power is applied. This feature allows
greater availability of the overall control system because, while the
module is being removed or inserted, there is no additional disruption
to the rest of the controlled process.

Module Fault Reporting

ControlLogix diagnostic digital I/O modules provide both hardware
and software indication when a module fault has occurred. Each
modules LED fault indicator and RSLogix 5000 will graphically display
this fault and include a fault message describing the nature of the
fault.
This feature allows you to determine how your module has been
affected and what action should be taken to resume normal operation.

Fully Software Configurable

The RSLogix 5000 software uses a custom, easily understood interface
to write configuration. All module features are enabled or disabled
through the I/O configuration portion of the software.
You can also use the software to interrogate any module in the system
to retrieve

serial number
revision information
product code
vendor identification
error/fault information
diagnostic counters.

By eliminating such tasks as setting hardware switches and jumpers,

the software makes module configuration easier and more reliable.

Preliminary Publication 1756-UM058D-EN-P - October 2004

ControlLogix Diagnostic Digital I/O Module Features

4-5

Electronic Keying
Instead of plastic mechanical backplane keys, electronic keying allows
the ControlLogix system to control what modules belong in the
various slots of a configured system.
During module configuration, you must choose one of the following
keying options for your I/O module:
Exact Match
Compatible Module
Disable Keying
When the controller attempts to connect to and configure an I/O
module (e.g. after program download), the module compares the
following parameters before allowing the connection and
configuration to be accepted:

Vendor
Product Type
Product Code
Major Revision - Change that affects the modules function or
RSLogix 5000 interface
Minor Revision - Change that does not affects the modules
function or RSLogix 5000 interface (e.g. bug fixes)
The comparison is made between the keying information present in
the I/O module and the keying information in the controllers
program. This feature can prevent the inadvertent operation of a
control system with the wrong module in the wrong slot. For
example, if you select Exact Match and a module with revision 2.2 is
placed in a location configured for a module with revision 2.4, the
controller does not make a connection to the new module because of
the mismatched revisions.

Preliminary Publication 1756-UM058D-EN-P - October 2004

4-6

ControlLogix Diagnostic Digital I/O Module Features

Table 4.3 describes the keying options available with your

ControlLogix digital I/O module.
Table 4.3
Keying option:

Definiton:

Exact Match

All of the parameters listed above must match or the inserted module will reject a connection to the controller.

Compatible Module

The Compatible Match mode allows an I/O module to determine whether it can emulate the module defined in
the configuration sent from the controller.
With ControlLogix digital I/O modules, the module can emulate older revisions. The module will accept the
configuration if the configurations major.minor revision is less than or equal to the physical modules revision.
For example, if the configuration contains a major.minor revision of 1.7, the module inserted into the slot must
have a firmware revision of 1.7 or higher for a connection to be made. When a module is inserted with a
major.minor revision that is less than the revision for which the slot is configured (i.e., the module has a
revison of 1.6 and the slot is configured for a module with revision 1.8), no connection is made between the
controller and the I/O module.

TIP

We recommend using Compatible Match whenever possible. Remember, though, with

major revision changes, the module only works to the level of the configuration.
For example, if a slot is configured for a module with major.minor revision of 1.7 and you
insert a module with a major.minor revision of 2.3, the module works at the 1.7 level,
with respect to module functions that are related to RSLogix 5000 such as interface
changes. However, bug fixes that are affected by the modules firmware, would work at
the 2.3 revision level.
If possible, we suggest you make sure configuration is updated to match the revision
levels of all I/O modules. Failure to do so may not prevent the application from working
but may defeat the purpose of upgrading your modules revision levels.

Disable Keying

The inserted module attempts to accept a connection to the controller regardless of its type.
ATTENTION

Be extremely cautious when using the disable keying option; if used incorrectly, this
option can lead to personal injury or death, property damage or economic loss.

If keying is disabled, a controller makes a connection with most modules of the same type as that used in the
slot configuration. For example, if a slot is configured for a 1756-IA16I (standard input module), and a
1756-IB16 (standard input module) is inserted into the slot, the controller established a connection because
keying is disabled.
A controller will not establish a connection if any of the following conditions exist, even if keying is disabled:
The slot is configured for one module type (e.g. input module) and a module of another type (e.g. output
module) is inserted in the slot.
The module inserted into the slot cannot accept some portion of the configuration. For example, if a
standard input module is inserted into a slot configured for a diagnostic input module, the controller
cannot make a connection because the module cannot accept/process the diagnostic configuration.

ControlLogix Diagnostic Digital I/O Module Features

4-7

Module Inhibiting
Module inhibiting allows you to indefinitely suspend a connection
between an owner-controller and an digital I/O module. This process
can occur in either of the following ways:
You write configuration for an I/O module but inhibit the
module to prevent it from communicating with the
owner-controller. In this case, the owner does not establish a
connection and configuration is not sent to the module until the
connection is uninhibited.
In your application, a controller already owns a module, has
downloaded configuration to the module and is currently
exchanging data over the connection between the devices. In
this case, you can inhibit the module and the owner-controller
behaves as if the connection to the module does not exist.
IMPORTANT

Whenever you inhibit an output module, it enters the

program mode and all outputs change to the state
configured for the program mode. For example, if an
output module is configured so that the state of the
outputs go to zero (0) during program mode,
whenever that module is inhibited, the outputs will
go to zero (0).

The following examples are instances where you may need to use
module inhibiting:
Multiple controllers own the same digital input module. A
change is required in the modules configuration; however, the
change must be made to the program in all controllers. In this
case, you can:
a. Inhibit the module.
b. Change configuration in all controllers.
c. Unihibit the module.
You want to FLASH upgrade an digital I/O module. We
recommend you:
a. Inihibit the module.
b. Perform the upgrade.
c. Uninhibit the module.
You are using a program that includes a module that you do not
physically possess yet, but you do not want the controller to
continually look for a module that does not exist yet. In this
case, you can inhibit the module in your program until it
physically resides in the proper slot.

ControlLogix Diagnostic Digital I/O Module Features

Using the System Clock to Timestamp Inputs and

Schedule Outputs
Controllers generate a 64-bit Coordinated System Time (CST) for their
respective chassis. The CST is a chassis-specific time that is not
synchronized with, or in any way connected to, the time generated
over ControlNet to establish a NUT, as described in Chapter 2.
You can configure your digital input modules to access the CST and
timestamp input data with a relative time reference (i.e., the value
of the CST) of when that input data changes state.
IMPORTANT

Because only one CST value is returned to the

controller when any input point changes state, it is
recommended that you use timestamping on only
one input point per module.

Table 4.4 describes the ways you can use the system clock.
Table 4.4
Use of timestamping:

Definition:

Timestamping for a
Sequence of Events

The CST can be used to establish a sequence of events occurring at a particular input module point by
timestamping the input data. To determine a sequence of events, you must:
Set the input modules communications format to: CST Timestamped Input Data
Enable Change of state for the input point where a sequence will occur (Disable COS for all other
points on the module)

TIP

If you decide to configure multiple input points for COS, your module generates a
unique CST each time any of those input points change state, as long as the changes
do not occur within 500S of each other.
If multiple input points configured for COS change state within 500s of each other, a
single CST value is generated for all, making it appear that they changed at exactly
the same time.

Table 4.4
Use of timestamping:

Definition:

Timestamping in
Conjunction with
Scheduled Outputs

Timestamping can be used in conjunction with the scheduled outputs feature so that after input data
changes state and a timestamp occurs, an output point will actuate at some configured time in the future.
You can schedule outputs up to 16 seconds into the future.
When you use timestamping of inputs and scheduled outputs, you must:
choose a Communications Format for each input and output module that allows timestamping. For
more information on choosing a Communications Format, see Chapter 6.
have a controller in the same rack as both I/O modules
disable Change of State for all input points on the input module except the point being timestamped

TIP

For scheduled outputs to work most effectively, remember the following:

The time to schedule outputs to transition in the future must account for any
controller, backplane and network delays.
The I/O modules must reside in the same rack as the timemaster.
For a detailed example of how to write ladder logic to use these features, see
Appendix B.

Module Major Revision Considerations with Timestamping

When using timestamping for inputs or diagnostic timestamping of
I/O modules, remember the following conditions that may occur
depending on the modules Major Revision:
If the module has a Major Revision = 1, it will always return a
positive timestamping value.
If the module has a Major Revision > 2, it will return a negative
timestamping value until the module is synchronized with the
owner-controller and the first Change of State condition occurs.
Look at the Module Properties page of RSLogix 5000 to determine if
the module has been synchronized with the owner-controller and
whether the controller is synchronized with the CST.
For more information on synchronizing owner-controllers and
modules with the CST, see the ControlLogix System User Manual,
publication 1756-UM001.

ControlLogix Diagnostic Digital I/O Module Features

Producer/Consumer Model
By using the Producer/Consumer model, ControlLogix I/O modules
can produce data without having been polled by a controller first. The
modules produce the data and any other owner-controller device can
decide to consume it.
For example, a diagnostic input module produces data and any
number of processors can consume the data at the same time. This
eliminates the need for one processor to send the data to another
processor. For a more detailed explanation of this process, see
Chapter 2.

Full Class I Division 2 Compliance

All ControlLogix digital I/O modules maintain CSA Class I Division 2
system certification. This allows the ControlLogix system to be placed
in an environment other than only a 100% hazard free.
IMPORTANT

Modules should not be pulled under power, nor

should a powered RTB be removed, in a Class I
Division 2 environment.

UL, CSA, FM, CE, C-Tick, EEx, TUV Agency Approvals

Any ControlLogix digital I/O modules that have obtained UL, CSA, FM,
CE, C-Tick, EEx, TUV agency approval are marked as such. Ultimately,
all digital modules will have these agency approvals and be marked
accordingly.

Diagnostic Latch of Information

Diagnostic Latching allows diagnostic I/O modules to latch a fault in
the set position once it has been triggered, even if the error condition
causing the fault to occur disappears.

Diagnostic Timestamp
Diagnostic I/O modules can timestamp the time when a fault occurs
or when it clears. This feature provides greater accuracy and flexibility
in running applications. Modules use the ControlLogix system clock
from a local controller to generate timestamps.
To use diagnostic timestamps, you must choose the appropriate
Communications Format during initial configuration. For more
information on choosing a Communications Format, see Chapter 6.

8-Point AC/16-Point DC
Diagnostic ControlLogix digital I/O modules provide various grouping
of points on different modules. The 8 point AC modules and 16 point
DC modules provide additional flexibility when designing module
applications.

Point Level Fault Reporting

Diagnostic I/O modules set bits to indicate when a fault has occurred
on a point-by-point basis. The following fault conditions generate
their own unique fault bits:

Hardware point damage(6)

(1)

The electronic protection of this module has been designed to provide protection for the module from short circuit conditions. The protection is based on a thermal cutout
principal. In the event of a short circuit condition on an output channel, that channel will limit the current within milliseconds after its thermal cutout temperature has been
reached. Other channels could produce a false error on the output verify fault signal due to the supply dropping below the minimum detect level of 19.2V dc. The output
channels that are affected by this phenomena will continue to operate as directed by the module master (CPU, Bridge, etc.) What this means is that the output verify fault
signals of the other channels should be checked and reset if a short circuit on one channel occurs.

(2)

The output cannot turn ON due to hardware point damage.

(3)

Depending on the characteristics of an applied short circuit, an output verify fault could be set until the short circuit is detected by the module and the output is turned OFF.

Using Features Specific to

Diagnostic Input Modules

4-15

The features described in this section are all available on all

ControlLogix diagnostic digital input modules.

Data Transfer on Either Change of State or Cyclic Time

Your ControlLogix input module sends data in one of the ways
described in Table 4.9:
Table 4.9
Method of
Sending Data:

Description

Requested
Packet Interval

A user defined rate at which the module updates the information sent
to its owner-controller. This is also known as Cyclic Data Transfer.

Change of State

Configurable feature that, when enabled, instructs the module to

update its owner-controller with new data whenever a specified input
point transitions from ON to OFF or OFF to ON. The data will be sent at
the RPI rate. By default, this setting is always enabled for input
modules.

Digital input modules always send data at the RPI but only send data
at a change of state if the COS feature is enabled. Set the RPI rate and
enable COS for specific input points as shown below.

Change the RPI on the

Connection tab.

ControlLogix Diagnostic Digital I/O Module Features

Software Configurable Filter Times

ON to OFF and OFF to ON filter times can be adjusted through
RSLogix 5000 software for all ControlLogix diagnostic input modules.
These filters improve noise immunity within a signal. A larger filter
value affects the length of delay times for signals from these modules.
Set filter times as shown below.

Use the pulldown to set the

input filter times on the
Configuration tab.

Isolated and Non-Isolated Varieties of Modules

ControlLogix diagnostic input modules provide isolated or
non-isolated wiring options. Some applications require power for the
I/O circuits to originate on separate, isolated, power sources. Because
these conditions require separate commons for each channel, some
input modules use individual isolation, or point-to-point isolation.
Other types of isolation available with ControlLogix diagnostic input
modules are channel-to-channel isolation and no isolation. Your
specific application will determine what type of isolation is necessary
and which input module to use.

Multiple Input Point Densities

ControlLogix diagnostic input modules use either 8 or 16-point
densities for greater flexibility in your application.

Preliminary Publication 1756-UM058D-EN-P - October 2004

ControlLogix Diagnostic Digital I/O Module Features

4-17

Open Wire Detection

Open Wire is used to make sure the field wiring is connected to the
module. The field device must provide a minimum leakage current to
function properly.
A leakage resistor must be placed across the contacts of an input
device. (See each modules specifications, listed in Chapter 7, for more
details.) The resulting current is then expected to exist when the
input is open.
When an Open Wire condition is detected, a point-level fault is sent to
the controller to identify the exact point fault. This feature has a
corresponding tag that can be examined in the user program in the
event of a fault. For more information on these tags, see Appendix A.
IMPORTANT

If this feature is enabled for points that are not in

use, you will receive faults for those points during
operation.

Set open wire detection as shown below.

Enable and disable open wire

detection on the Configuration

Diagnostic Change of State for Input Modules

If the Diagnostic Change of State feature is enabled, a diagnostic input
module sends new data to the owner-controller when one of the

If this option is
selected:

The input module sends data to the owner-controller:

when any change in the diagnostics for an input module occurs.

Although the RPI occurs continuously, the diagnostic COS feature

allows you to decide whether changes in a modules diagnostic
detection should cause the module to send real time data to the
owner-controller.
If this feature is enabled, the input module sends new data to
the owner-controller at the RPI, on input COS if it is enabled,
and if a diagnostic fault occurs.
If this feature is disabled, real time data is not sent when a
diagnostic fault occurs but is still sent at the specified RPI or on
input COS if it is enabled.

ControlLogix Diagnostic Digital I/O Module Features

Using Features Specific to

Diagnostic Output Modules

The features described in this section are all available on all

ControlLogix diagnostic digital output modules.

Configurable Point-Level Output Fault States

Individual outputs can be independently configured to unique fault
states, either ON, OFF or HOLD in case of a communications failure
or program mode.
IMPORTANT

Whenever you inhibit a diagnostic output module, it

enters the program mode and all outputs change to
the state configured for the program mode.
For example, if an output module is configured so
that the state of the outputs turn off during program
mode, whenever that module is inhibited, the
outputs will turn off.

Set output fault state as shown below.

Use the pulldown to set the

output fault state on the
Configuration tab.

Preliminary Publication 1756-UM058D-EN-P - October 2004

ControlLogix Diagnostic Digital I/O Module Features

4-21

Output Data Echo

During normal operation, when a processor sends an output
command out to the ControlLogix system, the diagnostic output
module that is targeted for that command will return the commanded
state of the output to the system to verify the module received the
command and will try to execute it.
Other devices can use this broadcast signal (via a listen-only
connection) to determine the desired state of the output without
having to interrogate the owner-controller.
This feature cannot relay to the system that the field-side device
connected to the output module has executed the command. If your
application requires a more detailed response than only
acknowledging the receipt of a command, see the Field Side Output
Verification feature, defined later in this chapter.

Monitor Fault Bits

The Output Data Echo only matches the commanded state of the
outputs if the module is operating under normal conditions. If there is
a problem with the module, the commanded state and the Output
Data Echo may not match.
You can monitor the fault bits for your output points for fault
conditions. If a fault occurs, the fault bit is set and your program alerts
you to the condition. In this case, the output data echo may not match
the commanded state of the outputs.
If there is a mismatch between the commanded state of the outputs
and the Output Data Echo, check your diagnostic output module for
the following conditions:
Communications fault
Connection inhibited
Blown fuse - Module will not turn ON output if overload/short
circuit is detected.
Loss of field power (1756-OA8D and 1756-OA8E only) - Module
will not turn ON output if no AC power is detected.

Field Wiring Options

As with diagnostic input modules, ControlLogix diagnostic output
modules provide isolated or non-isolated wiring options. I/O modules
provide point-to-point, group-to-group, or channel-to-channel wiring
isolation.
Your specific application determines what type of isolation is
necessary and which output module to use.
IMPORTANT

Although some ControlLogix diagnostic I/O modules

provide non-isolated field side wiring options, each
I/O module maintains internal electrical isolation
between the system side and field side.

No Load Detection
For each output point, No Load detects the absence of field wiring
or a missing load from each output point in the off state only.
The output circuit on a diagnostic output module has a Current Sense

Diagnostic output modules list a minimum load current specification

(1756-OA8D = 10mA & 1756-OB16D = 3mA). In the ON-state, the
module must be connected to a load which will draw a minimum
current equal to these values.
If a connected load is sized in accordance with the minimum load
current specification, diagnostic output modules are capable of
sensing current through the optoisolator and the load when the
output point is OFF.

Field Side Output Verification

Field Side Output Verification informs the user that logic side
instructions that the module consumes are accurately represented on
the power side of a switching device. In other words, for each output
point, this feature confirms that the output is ON when it is
commanded to be ON.
The diagnostic output module can tell a controller that it received a
command and whether or not the field-side device connected to the
module has executed the command. For example, in applications that
need to verify that the module has accurately followed the processors
instructions, the module samples the field side state and compares it
to the system side state.
This feature has a corresponding tag that can be examined in the user
program in the event of a fault. For more information on these tags,
see Appendix A.
If an output cannot be verified, a point level fault is sent to the
controller. Enable Field Side Output Verification as shown below.

ControlLogix Diagnostic Digital I/O Module Features

Pulse Test
Pulse Test is a feature found on diagnostic output modules that can
verify output-circuit functionality without actually changing the state
of the output load device. A short pulse is sent to the targeted output
circuit. The circuit should respond as it would if a real change-of-state
command was issued, but the load device does not transition.
TIP

Consider the following when using the Pulse Test:

Only use the test when the output state does not
transition for long periods of time. Normal
diagnostics will catch faults if the outputs are
transitioning regularly.
When first performing the pulse test, it is
recommended that you verify the load will not
transition. You should be at the actual load while
the test is performed.

Table 4.12 lists how the Pulse Test can be used to perform a
preemptive diagnosis of possible future module conditions.
Table 4.12
You can use the Pulse Test to:

Description:

detect a blown fuse before it

happens

The Blown Fuse diagnostic (see page 4-23 for a complete explanation of fusing) can only be used
when an output module is in the ON state. But it would useful to be made aware when operating
conditions for a module may cause a blown fuse.
If you perform a pulse test on the module while the output is in the OFF state, the output point is
commanded to be ON briefly, as described above. Although no diagnostic bits are set in the output
data echo, the pulse test will report a failure because conditions when the point is ON indicate a
blown fuse condition may occur (see page 4-13).
IMPORTANT

detect a No Load condition with

an output ON

The Pulse Test does not guarantee a fuse will blow when the output point turns
ON. It merely indicates this condition is possible.

The No Load diagnostic (see page 4-24 for a complete explanation) can only detect a fault (i.e., set
the No Load bit) when an output point is in the OFF state. But you may find it useful to be made aware
when operating conditions for that point may reveal a potential No Load condition.
If you perform a pulse test on an output point while it is in the ON state, the output point is
commanded to be OFF briefly, as described on page 4-26. The pulse test will report a failure because
conditions when the point is OFF indicate the possible absence of a field device; in this case, though,
the No Load bit will not be set (see page 4-13)).
IMPORTANT

has a Module Fault Word of 32 bits. But, because this is a 16 point
module, only the first 16 bits (bits 0-15) are used in the Module Fault
Word.
Fault bits in the Field Power Loss Word and Open Wire Word are
logically ORed into the Module Fault Word. In other words,
depending on the module type, a bit set in the Module Fault Word can
mean multiple things, as indicated in Table 4.15:

ControlLogix Diagnostic Digital I/O Module Features

Fault and Status Reporting

Between Output Modules
and Controller

ControlLogix diagnostic digital output modules multicast fault/status

data to any owner/listening controllers.
All output modules maintain a Module Fault Word, the highest level of
fault reporting. Some modules also use additional words to indicate
fault conditions, as shown on the next page.
Table 4.16 lists the tags that can be examined in ladder logic to
indicate when a fault has occurred for a diagnostic output module:
Table 4.16
Tag:

Description:

Module Fault
Word

This word provides fault summary reporting. Its tag name is Fault. This
word is available on all digital output modules.

Fuse Blown Word This word indicates a point/group fuse blown on the module. Its tag
name is FuseBlown.
For more information on fusing, see page 4-23.
Field Power Loss
Word

This word indicates a loss of field power to a point on the module. Its
tag name is FieldPwrLoss. This word is available on 1756-OA8D only.
For more information on field power loss, see page 4-19.

No Load Word

This word indicates a loss of a load from a point on the module. Its tag
name is NoLoad.
For more information on no load conditions, see page 4-24.

Output Verify
Word

This word indicates when an output is not performing as commanded

by the owner-controller. Its tag name is OutputVerify.
For more information on output verify, see page 4-25.

All words are 32 bit, although only the number of bits appropriate for
each modules density are used. For example, the 1756-OB8 module
has a Module Fault Word of 32 bits. But, because the module is an 8
point module, only the first 8 bits (bits 0-7) are used in the Module
Fault Word.

Key the RTB to prevent inadvertently connecting the incorrect RTB to

your module. When the RTB mounts onto the module, keying
positions will match up. For example, if you place a U-shaped keying
band in position #4 on the module, you cannot place a wedge-shaped
tab in #4 on the RTB or your RTB will not mount on the module.
We recommend that you use a unique keying pattern for each slot in
the chassis.
1. Insert the U-shaped band with the longer side near the
terminals. Push the band onto the module until it snaps in place.

Recommendations for Wiring Your RTB

Consider the following guidelines when wiring your RTB:
Begin wiring the RTB at the bottom terminals and move up.
Use a tie to secure the wires in the strain relief area of the RTB.
The jumper bar part number is 97739201. Contact your local
Rockwell Automation sales representative to order additional
jumper bars, if necessary.
For an example of when to use the jumper bar, see the
1756-IA16I wiring diagram in Figure 7.2 on page 7-5.
Order and use an extended-depth housing (Cat.
No.1756-TBE) for applications that require heavy gauge wiring.

Choosing the
Extended-Depth Housing

5-9

There are two housing options you must consider when wiring your
ControlLogix digital I/O modulestandard-depth or extended-depth.
When you order an RTB for your I/O module, you receive a
standard-depth housing with the RTB. If your application uses heavy
gauge wiring, you can order an extended-depth housing. This housing
does not come with an RTB.
You can use one of the housings listed in Table 5.2:

Suggestions for Using the Extended-Depth Housing

Consider the following recommendations when deciding to use an
extended-depth housing on your I/O module. It is recommended you
use the 1756-TBE when:
using >36 18AWG wires
using >23 14AWG wires

Cabinet Size Considerations With the Extended-Depth Housing

When you use an extended-depth housing (1756-TBE), the I/O
module depth is increased. The diagram below shows the difference,
in terms of depth, between an I/O module using a standard-depth
housing and one using an extended-depth housing.

Configuring Your ControlLogix Digital I/O Modules

Communications Format
The communications format determines what type of configuration
options are made available, what type of data is transferred between
the module and its owner-controller, and what tags are generated
when configuration is complete. Once a module is created, you
cannot change the communications format unless you delete and
recreate the module.
The communications format also defines the connection between the
controller writing the configuration and the module itself. The number
and type of choices varies depending on what module you are using
and whether it is in a local or remote chassis.
TIP

When you select a Listen-only Communications

Format, only the General and Connection tabs
appear when you view a modules properties in
RSLogix 5000.
Controllers that want to listen to module but not own
it use the listen-only communications formats.

Input Module Formats

Table 6.2 lists the communications formats used with input modules:
Table 6.2
If you want the input module to return this data

choose this communication format:

Modules that offer this

format:

The module returns only general fault and input data.

Input data

The module returns input data with the value of the

system clock (from its local chassis) when the input data

Configuring I/O Modules in

a Remote Chassis

ControlLogix ControlNet Interface modules (1756-CNB or 1756-CNBR)

or the EtherNet/IP Bridge module (1756-ENBT) are required to
communicate with I/O modules in a remote chassis.
You must configure the communications module in the local chassis
and the remote chassis before adding new I/O modules to the
program.
1. Configure a communications module for the local chassis. This
module handles communications between the controller chassis
and the remote chassis.

A. Right-click on I/O
Configuration.
B. Click New Module.

2. Choose a communications module (1756-CNB, 1756-CNBR or

1756-ENBT) for the local chassis.

Viewing and Changing

Module Tags

When you create a module, a set of tags are created by the

ControlLogix system that can be viewed in the Tag Editor of RSLogix
5000. Each configurable feature on your module has a distinct tag that
can be used in the processors ladder logic.
You can access a modules tags through RSLogix 5000 as
shown below.

A. Richt-click Controller Tags.

B. Click Monitor Tags

You can view the tags from here.

Click on the slot number of

the module you want to see

Because the process of viewing and changing a modules

configuration tags is broader in scope than can be addressed in this

The commutating dv/dt of the output voltage (OUTPUT to L2) should not exceed 0.2V/s for loads under 50mA. The
commutating dv/dt rating of the module for loads 50-500mA (OUTPUT TO L2) is 4V/s maximum. If the commutating dv/dt
rating of the TRIAC is exceeded, the TRIAC could latch on. If the commutating dv/dt rating is exceeded in the 10-50mA range, a
resistor may be added across the output and L2. The purpose of this resistor is to increase the total output current to 50mA
(I=V/R). At 50mA and above, the module has a higher commutating dv/dt rating. When adding a resistor for mthe output to L2,
be sure it is rated for the power that it will dissipate (P=(V**2)/R). If the commutating dv/dt rating is exceeded in the 50-500mA
range, the L1 AC waveform could be at fault. Be sure the waveform is a good sinusoid, void if any anomalies such as distorted
or flattened sections.

The commutating dv/dt of the output voltage (OUTPUT to L2) should not exceed 0.2V/s for loads under 50mA. The
commutating dv/dt rating of the module for loads 50-500mA (OUTPUT TO L2) is 4V/s maximum. If the commutating dv/dt
rating of the TRIAC is exceeded, the TRIAC could latch on. If the commutating dv/dt rating is exceeded in the 10-50mA range, a
resistor may be added across the output and L2. The purpose of this resistor is to increase the total output current to 50mA
(I=V/R). At 50mA and above, the module has a higher commutating dv/dt rating. When adding a resistor for mthe output to L2,
be sure it is rated for the power that it will dissipate (P=(V**2)/R). If the commutating dv/dt rating is exceeded in the 50-500mA
range, the L1 AC waveform could be at fault. Be sure the waveform is a good sinusoid, void if any anomalies such as distorted
or flattened sections.

Maximum wire size requires extended housing - 1756-TBE.

(1)

The commutating dv/dt of the output voltage (OUTPUT to L2) should not exceed 0.2V/s for loads under 50mA. The
commutating dv/dt rating of the module for loads 50-500mA (OUTPUT TO L2) is 4V/s maximum. If the commutating dv/dt
rating of the TRIAC is exceeded, the TRIAC could latch on. If the commutating dv/dt rating is exceeded in the 10-50mA range, a
resistor may be added across the output and L2. The purpose of this resistor is to increase the total output current to 50mA
(I=V/R). At 50mA and above, the module has a higher commutating dv/dt rating. When adding a resistor for mthe output to L2,
be sure it is rated for the power that it will dissipate (P=(V**2)/R). If the commutating dv/dt rating is exceeded in the 50-500mA
range, the L1 AC waveform could be at fault. Be sure the waveform is a good sinusoid, void if any anomalies such as distorted
or flattened sections.

Using Ladder Logic To Perform Run Time

Services and Reconfiguration

You can use ladder logic to perform run time services on your
module. For example, page 6-19 shows how to reset an electronic
fuse on the 1756-OA8D module using RSLogix 5000. This appendix
provides an example of how to reset the same fuse without using
RSLogix 5000.
In addition to performing run time services, you can use ladder logic
to change configuration. Chapter 6 explained how to use the RSLogix
5000 software to set configuration parameters in your ControlLogix
analog I/O module. Some of those parameters may also be changed
through ladder logic.

Using Message
Instructions

In ladder logic, you can use Message instructions to send occasional

services to any ControlLogix I/O module. Message instructions send
an explicit service to the module, causing specific behavior to occur,
for example, unlatching a high alarm.
Message instructions maintain the following characteristics:
messages use unscheduled portions of system
communications bandwidth
one service is performed per instruction
performing module services does not impede module
functionality, such as sampling inputs or applying new outputs

Preliminary Publication 1756-UM058D-EN-P - October 2004

B-2

Using Ladder Logic To Perform Run Time Services and Reconfiguration

Processing Real-Time Control and Module Services

Services sent via message instructions are not as time critical as the
module behavior defined during configuration and maintained by a
real-time connection. Therefore, the module processes messaging
services only after the needs of the I/O connection have been met.
For example, you may want to unlatch all process alarms on the
module, but real-time control of your process is still occurring using
the input value from that same channel. Because the input value is
critical to your application, the module prioritizes the sampling of
inputs ahead of the unlatch service request.
This prioritization allows input channels to be sampled at the same
frequency and the process alarms to be unlatched in the time
between sampling and producing the real-time input data.

One Service Performed Per Instruction

Message instructions will only cause a module service to be
performed once per execution. For example, if a message instruction
sends a service to the module to unlatch the high high alarm on a
particular channel, that channels high high alarm will unlatch, but
may be set on a subsequent channel sample. The message instruction
must then be reexecuted to unlatch the alarm a second time.

Using Timestamped Inputs and Scheduled Outputs

This example demonstrates the use of timestamped inputs and
scheduled outputs for digital I/O. The CST can be utilized to
synchronize the output turning OFF to ON based upon the time that
the input transitioned OFF to ON. The program can be extended to
include synchronizing multiple output modules by sending the same
timestamp to all output modules.
For this example, the output will follow the state of the input 0, but it
will be delayed by exactly 10ms. The advantage of using CST (over
timers) is that the synchronization is being performed at the I/O
module which eliminates any jitter due to controller or
communication delays.
Your control becomes much more deterministic even under changing
loads. For this synchronization to work properly, the 10ms delay must
be long enough to account for any controller, backplane, and network
delays. The input and output modules must reside in the same rack as
a Time Master (i.e., Controller) Timestamp units are secs.

Rungs 0 and 1 are used to detect

the transition from PROGRAM to
RUN mode. This is used to turn ON
init which causes the program to
initialize its tags

Rung 2 only executes once and

initializes the LastTimestamp.
LastTimestamp is used to detect a
Change of State on the input point
by checking to see if the timestamp
of the input data has changed

Preliminary Publication 1756-UM058D-EN-P - October 2004

B-10

Using Ladder Logic To Perform Run Time Services and Reconfiguration

Rung 3 is the main rung which checks for Change of State on the
input point by comparing the current input timestamp (i.e.,
Time_at_which_Input_Changed) with the last timestamp (i.e.,
LastTimestamp).
The input point (i.e., point 0) must have Change of State enabled or
the timestamp will not update when the point transitions (e.g.
OFF-ON). Once Change of State has been detected,10ms is ADDed to
the input timestamp and sent to the output module's timestamp.
This will cause the output module to apply its output exactly 10ms
(i.e., 10,000s) after the input changed state.
The MOVe instructions update "LastTimestamp[]" in preparation for the
next change of state.
IMPORTANT

Preliminary Publication 1756-UM058D-EN-P - October 2004

Timestamps are 8 bytes in size, two DINTs, but only

the lower 4 bytes of the output timestamp (i.e.,
Time_at_which_Output_Will_Change) are used to
schedule the outputs into the future (to a max of
16.7s or 16,700,000s

Using Tags in Ladder Logic

When using tags in ControlLogix digital I/O ladder logic applications,
you must remember the following:
Ladder logic tags represent the module on a point per bit
basis. For example, point 0 = bit 0 on the module
If you are performing a service through the tags, a value of 0
prevents the action from occurring, and a value of 1 causes the
action to occur. For example, if you want to reset the electronic
fuse on a particular bit, enter 1 in the tags.
If you are checking the response of a service through the tags,
a value of 0 means the bit passed the service, and a value of 1
means the bit failed the service. For example, if you perform a
pulse test and the response displays a 0 for a particular bit, the
bit passed the test.

Determining the Maximum Number of Motor Starters

To determine the maximum number of motor starters that can be used
by any 1756 digital I/O module, refer to the example in Table D.4:
Table D.4
Step:

Value Used in this Example:

1. Choose your motor starter:

Allen-Bradley Bulletin 500 Size 3 120V ac/60Hz/ 2-3 Poles, Inrush

1225VA, Sealed=45VA

2. Determine the number of Motor starters required for

your application:

12 size 3 motor starters

3. Choose a ControlLogix digital output module:

1756-OA16I
Output voltage = 74 265V ac
Output steady state current per point = 2A maximum @ 30C
& 1A maximum @ 60C (Linear derating)
Output steady state current per module = 5A maximum @
30C & 4A maximum @ 60C (Linear derating)
Output surge current per point = 20A maximum for 43mS
repeatable every 2S @ 60C

4. Determine the maximum environmental operating

temperature:

50C

5. Confirm the voltage Range is within the Motor starter range: Motor Starter uses 120V ac
1756-OA16I operates in a 74 to 120V ac voltage range
6. Confirm the inrush current per point:

Inrush of motor starter Line voltage = Inrush current =

1225VA/120V ac = 10.2Amps Inrush
The 1756-OA16I allows 20A Inrush current from above specification
at @ 60 C

7. Confirm the steady state point current of the module can

drive the motor starter:

Sealed/Line voltage = Steady state current = 45VA/120V ac =

0.375A @ 50 C
Output point current can drive: 2A - (.033ma X 10 C) = 2A - 0.33A =
1.67A @ 50 C
Above 30 C, output point derates to .033mA/ C (point derating)
The 1756-OA16I output point current (1.67A) can drive the motor
starter (0.375A @ 50C.

8. Confirm the 1756-OA16I/A total module current can drive 12 Motor starter steady state current X 11 motor starters = .375 X 12 =
size 3 motor starters @ 50C
4.5A @ 50C
The output total module current can drive: 5A - (.033ma X 10C) =
5A - 0.33A = 4.67A @ 50C
Above 30C total output current derates to .033mA/C (Module
derating)
The 1756-OA16I total output current (4.67A) can drive the 12 motor
starters (4.5A) @ 50C

Hardware Response Times

Table E.1 lists the nominal hardware response times for some
ControlLogix dc I/O modules. Times are listed for these modules
because they are most likely to be used in applications that use tasks,
such as Events tasks, where estimating module throughput time
is critical.

Appendix

Using 1492 Wiring Systems with Your

Digital I/O Module

As an alternative to buying RTBs and connecting the wires yourself,

you can buy a wiring system of:
interface modules (IFMs) that mount on DIN rails provide the
output terminal blocks for the I/O module. Use the IFMs with
the pre-wired cables that match the I/O module to the interface
module.
For a complete list of the IFMs available for use with
ControlLogix digital I/O modules, see Table F.1 on page F-2.
and
I/O-module-ready prewired cables. One end of the cable
assembly is an RTB that plugs into the front of the I/O module.
The other end has individually color-coded conductors that
connect to a standard terminal block.
For a complete list of the prewired cables available for use with
ControlLogix digital I/O modules, see Table F.2 on page F-10.
Figure F.1 shows the IFM and prewired cables.

The 1492 IFMs may not be used in any application

that requires agency certification of the ControlLogix
system. Use of the IFM violates the UL, CSA and FM
certifications of these products.

Glossary
Broadcast
Data transmissions to all address or functions
Bumpless reconfiguration
A reconfiguration in which the real time data connection to the
module is not closed and reopened. Communications are never
interrupted and configuration data is applied to the module
immediately. This works best in a single owner-controller system.
Change of state (COS)
Any change in the ON or OFF state of a point on an I/O module
Communications format
Format that defines the type of information transferred between an
I/O module and its owner-controller. This format also defines the tags
created for each I/O module.
Compatible match
An electronic keying protection mode that requires that the physical
module and the module configured in the software to match
according to vendor and catalog number. In this case, the minor
revision of the module must greater than or equal to that of the
configured slot.
Connection
The communication mechanism from the controller to another module
in the control system.
ControlBus
The backplane used by the 1756 chassis.
Coordinated system time (CST)
Timer value which is kept synchronized for all modules within a
single ControlBus chassis
Direct connection
An I/O connection where the controller establishes an individual
connection with I/O modules

Preliminary Publication 1756-UM058D-EN-P - October 2004

Glossary

Disable keying
An electronic keying protection mode that requires no attributes of the
physical module and the module configured in the software to match
Download
The process of transferring the contents of a project on the
workstation into the controller
Electronic keying
A feature where modules can be requested to perform an electronic
check to make sure that the physical module is consistent with what
was configured by the software
Exact match
An electronic keying protection mode that requires the physical
module and the module configured in the software to match
according to vendor, catalog number, major revision and minor
revision
Field side
Interface between user field wiring and I/O module
Inhibit
A ControlLogix process that allows you to configure an I/O module
but prevent it from communicating with the owner-controller. In this
case, the controller behaves as if the I/O module does not exist at all
Interface module (IFM)
A module that uses prewired cable to connect wiring to an I/O
module
Listen-only connection
An I/O connection where another controller owns/provides the
configuration and data for the module
Major revision
A module revision that is updated any time there is a functional
change to the module

Preliminary Publication 1756-UM058D-EN-P - October 2004

Glossary

Minor revision
A module revision that is updated any time there is a change to the
module that does not affect its function or interface
Multicast
Data transmissions which reach a specific group of one or more
destinations
Multiple owners
A configuration set-up where multiple owner-controllers use exactly
the same configuration information to simultaneously own an input
module
Network update time (NUT)
The smallest repetitive time interval in which the data can be sent on a
ControlNet network. The NUT ranges from 2ms to 100ms
Owner-controller
The controller that creates and stores the primary configuration and
communication connection to a module
Program Mode
In this mode the following events occur:
Controller program is not executing.
Inputs are still actively producing data.
Outputs are not actively controlled and go to their configured
program mode
Rack connection
An I/O connection where the 1756-CNB module collects digital I/O
words into a rack image to conserve ControlNet connections and
bandwidth
Rack optimization
A communications format in which the 1756-CNB module collects all
digital I/O words in the remote chassis and sends them to controller
as a single rack image

Preliminary Publication 1756-UM058D-EN-P - October 2004

Glossary

Remote connection
An I/O connection where the controller establishes an individual
connection with I/O modules in a remote chassis
Removal and insertion under power (RIUP)
ControlLogix feature that allows a user to install or remove a module
or RTB while power is applied
Removable Terminal Block (RTB)
Field wiring connector for I/O modules
Requested packet interval (RPI)
The maximum amount of time between broadcasts of I/O data
Run mode
In this mode, the following events occur:
Controller program is executing
Inputs are actively producing data.
Outputs are actively controlled
Service
A system feature that is performed on user demand, such as fuse reset
or diagnostic latch reset
System side
Backplane side of the interface to the I/O module
Tag
A named area of the controllers memory where data is stored
Timestamping
ControlLogix process that stamps a change in input data with a
relative time reference of when that change occurred
