(Catalog Number 1746-INT4)
Use this abbreviated procedure for getting the 1746-INT4 module into operation.
If you need more information, refer to the user manual, publication 1746-6.16.
1. Unpack the Module Reference
Important:: Follow these precautions to prevent damaging the module from electrostatic discharge:
•Before handling the module, rid yourself of electric charge by touching a grounded object
•Avoid touching connector terminations and circuit components.
•When not in use, keep the module in its electrostatic shielded bag.
Unpack the module making sure that the contents include:
•module (Catalog Number 1746-INT4)
•removable terminal block (factory–installed on module) with CJC sensors attached
•this Quick Start publication (1746-10.2)
–
If the contents are incomplete, call your local Allen-Bradley representative for assistance.
2. Review Power Requirements Reference
Review the power requirements of the modules drawing power from the chassis power supply.
•The fixed, 2-slot chassis supports 2 1746-INT4 modules. If combining an INT4 module with
a different type of module, refer to Considerations for a Fixed Controller in chapter 3.
•For a modular system, compute the total load on the system power supply using the proce-
dure described in the SLC Installation & Operation Manual for Modular Controllers (publica-
tion 1747-6.2) or the SLC 500 Family System Overview (publication 1747-2.30).

Important:
Thermocouple inputs are highly
susceptible to electrical noise.
To minimize interference:
– Place processor and I/O chassis
in an industrial enclosure.
– Keep signal wires as far from
power and load lines as possible.
– Use shielded, twisted-pair
thermocouple extension wire.
– Ground each shield only at one end.
– Use correct thermocouple polarity.
– Keep all unshielded leads short.
– Connect the terminal block GND

4. Configure the Software Reference
With your programming software already loaded and your computer set for off-line programming:
– Identify type of SLC processor and operating system on PROG DIRECTORY FOR PROCESSORS
screen.
– With SLC system installed and wired, use READ CONFIG feature and follow prompts to configure I/O.
If not using the READ CONFIG feature, manually configure the I/O:
– Enter the rack configuration – Select the type of module in each slot
If 1746-INT4 module is not listed, enter ID code 3515 for OTHER at bottom of list. Exit and save to file.
No manual entry of special I/O configuration (SPIO CONFIG) information is required.
Module ID code automatically assigns the number of input and output words required by the module.
For more information on configuring your system, refer to The Getting Started Guide for APS
[publication 9399-APSQS]. If using different programming software, refer to its documentation.

Configure I/O)
5. Set Up Channel 0 Reference
Determine the operating parameters for channel 0. This example shows the channel 0 configuration
word defined with all defaults (0) except for the channel enable (bit 11=1). Module assumed in slot 1.
(For details on channel configuration, refer to the configuration worksheet on page 2-6) Chapter 6
(Channel
Configuration,
Data, and Status)
6. Program the Transfer of the Configuration Word Reference
Program the transfer of the configuration word (from step 6) to the module.
1. Using the memory map function, create integer file N10. Integer file N10 should contain one
element for each channel used. (For this example we used N10:0.)
2. Enter configuration parameters for channel 0 (from step 6) into N10:0.
In this example all the bits of N10:0 are zero except for the channel enable bit (N10:0/11).
3. Program a ladder logic instruction to copy the contents of N10:0 to output word O:1.0.

When set, module configures the channel and reads channel input before setting this bit in status word.
If you change the configuration word, the status word must reflect the change before new data is valid.
If you clear configuration word, module clears channel and status words. For new configuration word,
channel data and status words remain cleared until the module sets this bit (11) in the status word.
