Preface
This manual describes how to use 5000 series analog I/O modules in
Logix5000™ control systems.
Make sure that you are familiar with the following:
•Use of a controller in a Logix5000 control system
•Use of an EtherNet/IP network, if the analog I/O modules are installed in
a remote location from the controller that is accessible via the |
EtherNet/IP network
•Studio 5000 Logix Designer® environment
Additional Resources These resources contain information about related products from
Rockwell Automation.
IMPORTANT Remember the following when you use 5000 series analog I/O modules:
•You cannot use 5000 Series modules with all Logix5000 controllers. For
example, you can use the 5069 Compact I/O™ modules with
ControlLogix® 5580 controllers but not with ControlLogix 5570 controllers.
For more information on which Logix5000 controllers that you can use with
5000 series analog I/O modules, see the product description at
http://www.ab.com.
•You must use the Logix Designer application, version 28 or greater, to
configure the 5000 series analog I/O modules.

Analog I/O Module Operation in a Logix5000
Control System
Logix5000™ controllers use the 5069 Compact I/O™ analog I/O modules to
control devices in a control system. The controllers access the modules over an
EtherNet/IP network.
Analog I/O modules convert analog signals to digital values for inputs and
convert digital values to analog signals for outputs. Controllers use these signals
for control purposes.
5069 Compact I/O analog I/O modules use removable terminal blocks (RTBs)
to connect field-side wiring. You use the Logix Designer application to configure
the modules.
5069 Compact I/O analog I/O modules use the Producer-Consumer network
communication model. This communication is an intelligent data exchange
between modules and other system devices in which each module produces data
without first being polled.

Chapter 1 Analog I/O Module Operation in a Logix5000 Control System
Ownership Every I/O module in a Logix5000 control system must be owned by a controller,
also known as the owner-controller. When the 5069 Compact I/O analog I/O
modules are used in a Logix5000 control system, the owner-controller performs
the following:
•Stores configuration data for every module that it owns.
•Can reside in a location that differs from the 5069 Compact I/O system.
•Sends the I/O module configuration data to define module behavior and
begin operation in the control system.
Each 5069 Compact I/O analog I/O module must continuously maintain
communication with its owner-controller during normal operation. The 5069
Compact I/O analog I/O modules are limited to one owner-controller that
performs the functions that are listed previously. Other controllers can establish
Listen-Only connections to the 5069 Compact I/O analog I/O modules.
If necessary, different Logix5000 controllers can own different 5069 Compact
I/O modules that reside in the same chassis. For example, one 1756-L85E
controller can operate as the owner-controller for a 5069 Compact I/O module
in slot 1 of a 5069 Compact I/O system. Another 1756-L85E controller can
operate as the owner-controller for a 5069 Compact I/O module in slot 2 of the
same 5069 Compact I/O system.
Construct a 5069 Compact
I/O System
At minimum, the system must include a 5069-AEN2TR EtherNet/IP adapter.
The system can contain other 5069 Compact I/O modules, for example, 5069
Compact I/O analog input modules.
Figure 2 shows the owner-controller in a 1756 ControlLogix chassis that is
connected to the 5069 Compact I/O modules via an EtherNet/IP network.

5069 Compact I/O System Power
The 5069-AEN2TR EtherNet/IP adapter provides system-side and field-side
power to a 5069 Compact I/O system.
•System-side power that powers the 5069 Compact I/O system and lets
modules transfer data and execute logic.
•Field-side power that powers field-side devices that are connected to some
5069 Compact I/O modules.
For more information on how to power a 5069 Compact I/O system, see the
EtherNet/IP Communication Modules in 5000 Series Systems User Manual,
publication ENET-UM004
Configure a 5069 Compact
I/O System
You must create a Logix Designer application project for the Logix5000
controller that owns the 5069 Compact I/O analog I/O module. The project
includes module configuration data for the 5069 Compact I/O analog I/O
modules.
The Logix Designer application transfers the project to the owner-controller
during the program download. Data is then transferred to the 5069 Compact
I/O analog I/O modules over the EtherNet/IP network.
The 5069 Compact I/O analog I/O modules can operate immediately after
receiving the configuration data.
Connections
During module configuration, you must define the module. Among the Module
Definition parameters, you must choose a connection type for the module. A
connection is a real-time data transfer link between the owner-controller and the
module that occupies the slot that the configuration references.
When you download module configuration to a controller, the controller
attempts to establish a connection to each module in the configuration.

14 Rockwell Automation Publication 5000-UM005B-EN-P - November 2015
Chapter 1 Analog I/O Module Operation in a Logix5000 Control System
Because part of module configuration includes a slot in the 5069 Compact I/O
system, the owner-controller checks for the presence of a module there. If a
module is detected, the owner-controller sends the configuration. One of the
following occurs:
•If the configuration is appropriate to the module detected, a connection is
made and operation begins.
•If the configuration is not appropriate to the module detected, the data is
rejected and the Logix Designer application indicates that an error
occurred.
The configuration can be inappropriate for many reasons. For example, a
mismatch in electronic keying that prevents normal operation.
The owner-controller monitors its connection with a module. Any break in the
connection, for example, the loss of power to the 5069 Compact I/O system,
causes a fault. The Logix Designer application monitors the fault status tags to
indicate when a fault occurs on a module.
Connection Types Available with 5069 Compact I/O Analog I/O Modules
When configuring a 5069 Compact I/O analog I/O module, you must define the
module. Connection is a required parameter in the Module Definition. The
choice determines what data is exchanged between the controller and the
module.
Table 2 describes the connection types that you can use with 5069 Compact I/O
analog I/O modules.

Listen Only When a Listen Only connection is used, another controller owns the module.
A controller that makes a Listen Only connection to the module does not write
configuration for the module. It merely listens to the data exchanged with the owner-
controller.
IMPORTANT: If a controller uses a Listen Only connection, the connection must use the
Multicast option. For more information on Listen Only connections, see Listen Only
Mode on page 20. In this case, all other connections to the module, for example, the
connection to the owner-controller must also use the Multicast option.

Analog I/O Module Operation in a Logix5000 Control System Chapter 1
Data Types Available with 5069 Compact I/O Analog I/O Modules
The Module Definition includes a Data parameter that matches the module type.
Analog input modules use Input Data, and analog output modules use Output
Data.
The available Data parameter choices are as follows:
•Analog input modules - The Input Data choice is always Analog Data.
•Analog output modules - The Output Data choices are Analog Data or
None. The Output Data choice None is only available if you choose the
Connection parameter Listen Only.
Requested Packet Interval
The Requested Packet Interval (RPI) is a configurable parameter that defines a
specific rate at which data is exchanged between the owner-controller and the
module.
You set the RPI value during initial module configuration and can adjust it as
necessary after module operation has begun. Valid RPI values are 0.2…750 ms.
To see where to set the RPI, see page 90.
For more information on guidelines for specifying RPI rates, see the Logix5000
Controllers Design Considerations Reference Manual, publication
1756-RM094.
IMPORTANT If you change the RPI while the project is online, the connection to the module
is closed and re-opened in one of the following ways:
•You inhibit the connection to the module, change the RPI value, and
uninhibit the connection.
•You change the RPI value. In this case, the connection is closed and re-
opened immediately after you apply the change to the module
configuration.

Chapter 1 Analog I/O Module Operation in a Logix5000 Control System
Connection Over EtherNet/IP
During module configuration, you must configure the Connection over
EtherNet/IP parameter. The configuration choice dictates how input data is
broadcast over the network.
The 5069 Compact I/O analog I/O modules use one of the following methods
to broadcast data:
•Multicast - Data is sent to all network devices
•Unicast - Data is sent to a specific controller depending on the module
configuration
Input Module Operation Logix5000 controllers do not poll the 5069 Compact I/O analog input modules
for input data. Instead, the modules send their input data, that is, channel and
status data, at the RPI.
At the RPI, not only does the module send input data to the controller, but also
the controller sends data to the module inputs. For example, the controller sends
data to command the module to unlatch alarms or enable alarms.
Input Module to Controller Data Transmission
The following events occur when a 5069 Compact I/O analog input module
sends data to the controller.
1. The module scans its channels for input data.
2. The module sends the data to the 5069 Compact I/O system backplane.
3. The 5069-AEN2TR EtherNet/IP adapter in the 5069 Compact I/O
system sends the data over the EtherNet/IP network.
4. One of the following:
•If the owner-controller is directly connected to the EtherNet/IP
network, it receives the input data from the network without need for a
communication module.
•If the owner-controller is connected to the EtherNet/IP network
through another communication module, the module transmits the
data to its backplane and the controller receives it.

Rockwell Automation Publication 5000-UM005B-EN-P - November 2015 17
Analog I/O Module Operation in a Logix5000 Control System Chapter 1
Controller to Input Module Data Transmission
The following events occur when the controller sends data to the input module.
1. One of the following:
•If the controller is directly connected to the EtherNet/IP network, it
broadcasts the data to the network.
In this case, proceed to step 3.
•If the controller is connected to the EtherNet/IP network via a
communication module, the controller transmits the data to its
backplane.
In this case, continue at step 2.
2. The EtherNet/IP communication module transmits the data to the
EtherNet/IP network.
3. After receiving data from the network, the 5069-AEN2TR EtherNet/IP
adapter in the 5069 Compact I/O system receives the data from the
network and transmits it to the 5069 Compact I/O system backplane.
4. The 5069 Compact I/O analog input module receives the data from the
backplane and behaves as dictated by its configuration.
Output Module Operation The controller sends data to an output module at the RPI or after an Immediate
Output (IOT) instruction is executed.
The RPI defines when the controller sends data to the 5069 Compact I/O analog
output module and when the output module echoes data. The controller sends
data to an output module only at the RPI.
At the RPI, not only does the controller send data to the output module, but also
the output module sends data to the controller. For example, the output module
sends an indication of the channel data quality.

18 Rockwell Automation Publication 5000-UM005B-EN-P - November 2015
Chapter 1 Analog I/O Module Operation in a Logix5000 Control System
Controller to Output Module Data Transmission
The controller broadcasts data to its local backplane at one of the following:
•RPI
•An Immediate Output (IOT) instruction is executed.
Based on the RPI rate and the length of the controller program scan, the output
module can receive and echo data multiple times during one program scan.
When the RPI is less than the program scan length, the output channels can
change values multiple times during a program scan. The owner-controller does
not depend on the program scan to complete to send data.
These events occur when the controller sends data to a 5069 Compact I/O
analog output module.
1. Data is sent in one of the following ways:
•If the controller is directly connected to the EtherNet/IP network, it
broadcasts data to the network.
In this case, skip to step 3.
•If the controller is connected to the EtherNet/IP network via a
communication module, the controller transmits the data to the
backplane.
In this case, skip to step 2.
2. The EtherNet/IP communication module transmits the data to the
EtherNet/IP network.
3. After receiving data from the network, the 5069-AEN2TR EtherNet/IP
adapter in the 5069 Compact I/O system receives the data from the
network and transmits it to the 5069 Compact I/O system backplane.
4. The 5069 Compact I/O analog output module receives the data from the
backplane and behaves as dictated by its configuration.
IMPORTANT An IOT instruction sends data to the output module immediately, and
resets the RPI timer.

Rockwell Automation Publication 5000-UM005B-EN-P - November 2015 19
Analog I/O Module Operation in a Logix5000 Control System Chapter 1
Output Module to Controller Data Transmission
When an output module receives new data and the requested data value is
present on the RTB, the output module sends, or ‘echoes’, a data value back to the
controller and to the rest of the control system. The data value corresponds to the
signal present at its terminals. This feature is called Data Echo.
In addition to the Data Echo, the output module sends other data to the
controller at the RPI. For example, the module alerts the controller if a short
circuit condition exists on the module.
The following events occur when a 5069 Compact I/O analog output module
sends data to the controller at the RPI.
1. The module sends the data to the 5069 Compact I/O system backplane.
2. The 5069-AEN2TR EtherNet/IP adapter in the 5069 Compact I/O
system sends the data over the EtherNet/IP network.
3. One of the following:
•If the owner-controller is directly connected to the EtherNet/IP
network, it receives the input data from the network without need for a
communication module.
•If the owner-controller is connected to the EtherNet/IP network
through another communication module, the module transmits the
data to its backplane and the controller receives it.

Chapter 1 Analog I/O Module Operation in a Logix5000 Control System
Listen Only Mode Any controller in the system can listen to the data from an I/O module. An
owner-controller, as described in Ownership on page 12, exchanges data with the
analog I/O module.
Other controllers can use a Listen Only connection with the analog I/O module.
In this case, the ‘listening’ controller can only listen to input data or ‘echoed’
output data. The listening controller does not own the module configuration or
exchange other data with the module.
During the I/O configuration process, you can specify a Listen Only connection.
For more information on Connection options when configuring your system, see
Module Definition Parameters on page 89.
Use 5069-ARM and
5069-FPD Modules
The following 5069 modules are available for unique purposes in a 5069
Compact I/O system:
•5069-ARM Address Reserve Module
•5069-FPD Field Potential Distributor
IMPORTANT Remember the following:
•If a controller uses a Listen Only connection, the connection must use
the Multicast option. In this case, all other connections to the module,
for example, the connection to the owner-controller, must also use the
Multicast option.
•If a controller attempts to use a Listen Only connection to a module but
the owner-controller connection uses the Unicast option, the attempt
at a Listen Only connection fails.
The‘Listen Only’ controller receives data from the module as long as a
connection between an owner-controller and module is maintained
•If the connection between an owner-controller and the module is
broken, the module stops sending data and connections to all‘Listening
controllers’ are also broken.
