Chapter 1
Publication 1794-6.5.7
Overview of FLEX I/O and your
Thermocouple/mV Module
In this chapter, we tell you:
•what the FLEX I/O system is and what it contains
•how FLEX I/O modules communicate with programmable
controllers
•the features of your thermocouple module
FLEX I/O is a small, modular I/O system for distributed
applications that performs all of the functions of rack-based I/O. The
FLEX I/O system contains the following components shown below:
Adapter/Power Supply Terminal Base I/O Module
20125
•adapter/power supply – powers the internal logic for as many as
eight I/O modules
•terminal base – contains a terminal strip to terminate wiring for
thermocouple or millivolt inputs.
•I/O module – contains the bus interface and circuitry needed to
perform specific functions related to your application
FLEX I/O thermocouple/mV modules are block transfer modules
that interface analog signals with any Allen-Bradley programmable
controllers that have block transfer capability. Block transfer
programming moves input or output data words between the
module’s memory and a designated area in the processor data table.
Block transfer programming also moves configuration words from
the processor data table to module memory.

The adapter/power supply transfers data to the module (block
transfer write) and from the module (block transfer read) using BTW
and BTR instructions in your ladder diagram program. These
instructions let the adapter obtain input or output values and status
from the module, and let you establish the module’s mode of
operation. The illustration describes the communication process.

The adapter transfers your configuration data
to the module using a BTW.
Flexbus
External devices transmit
analog signals to the module.
2
The module converts analog signals
into binary format and stores these
values until the adapter requests
their transfer.
3
Your ladder program instructs the
adapter to perform a BTR of the values
and stores them in a data table.
4
The adapter and module determine
that the transfer was made without error and
input values are within specified range.
5
Your ladder program can use and/or move the data (if valid)
before it is written over by the transfer of new data in a
subsequent transfer.
6
Your ladder program performs BTWs to the module only when
you power it up, or any time you wish to reconfigure the module.

The thermocouple/mV module comes with 2 cold junction
compensators. These are designed to mount in designated positions
on the temperature terminal base unit (cat. no. 1794-TB3T). Refer to
chapter 2 for installation instructions for the cold junction
compensator assemblies.

Module
In this chapter, we tell you:
•how to install your module
•how to set the module keyswitch
•how to wire the terminal base
•about the indicators
Before installing your thermocouple/mV module in the I/O chassis:
You need to: As described under:
Calculate the power requirements of all
modules in each chassis. Power Requirements, page 2-2
Position the keyswitch on the terminal base Installing the Module, page 2–4
!ATTENTION: The Thermocouple module does not
receive power from the backplane. +24V dc power
must be applied to your module before installation. If
power is not applied, the module position will appear
to the adapter as an empty slot in your chassis.

The wiring of the terminal base unit is determined by the current
draw through the terminal base. Make certain that the current draw
does not exceed 10A.
!ATTENTION: Total current draw through the
terminal base unit is limited to 10A. Separate power
connections may be necessary.
!ATTENTION: Do not daisy chain power or ground
from the thermocouple terminal base unit to any ac or
dc discrete module terminal base unit.

2–4 How to Install Your Thermocouple/mV Input Module
Publication 1794-6.5.7
The thermocouple/mV module mounts on a 1794-TB2, -TB3 or
-TB3T terminal base unit.
Important: You must use a 1794-TB3T terminal base unit if you
are using the thermocouple/mV module for
thermocouple inputs. You can use the 1794-TB2 or
-TB3 terminal base for millivolt inputs only.

1. Rotate the keyswitch (1) on the terminal base unit (2) clockwise
to position 3 as required for the thermocouple/mV module.
2. Make certain the flexbus connector (3) is pushed all the way to
the left to connect with the neighboring terminal base/adapter.
You cannot install the module unless the connector is fully
extended.
!ATTENTION: Remove field-side power before
removing or inserting the module. This module is
designed so you can remove and insert it under
backplane power. When you remove or insert a
module with field-side power applied, an electrical arc
may occur. An electrical arc can cause personal injury
or property damage by:
•sending an erroneous signal to your system’s field
devices causing unintended machine motion
•causing an explosion in a hazardous environment
Repeated electrical arcing causes excessive wear to
contacts on both the module and its mating connector.
Worn contacts may create electrical resistance.
3. Before installing the module, check to make sure that the pins on
the bottom of the module are straight so they will align properly
with the female connector in the base unit.
4. Position the module (4) with its alignment bar (5) aligned with
the groove (6) on the terminal base.
5. Press firmly and evenly to seat the module in the terminal base
unit. The module is seated when the latching mechanism (7) is
locked into the module.
6. Repeat the above steps to install the next module in its terminal
base unit.
Installing the Module

2–5 How to Install Your Thermocouple/mV Input Module
Publication 1794-6.5.7
Thermocouple/mV module wiring is made through the terminal base
unit on which the module mounts. The module comes with 2 cold
junction compensators for use when using the thermocouple module
in the thermocouple mode.
Compatible terminal base unit are:
Module 1794-TB2 1794-TB3 1794-TB3T1
1794-IT8 Yes2Yes2Yes
1The
1794-TB3T terminal base unit contains connections for cold junction
compensation for use with thermocouple modules.

Connecting Wiring using a 1794-TB2, -TB3 and -TB3T Terminal
Base Units
1. Connect the individual signal wiring to numbered terminals on
the 0–15 row (A) on the terminal base unit. Connect the high side
(+) to the even numbered terminals, and the low side (–) to the
odd numbered terminals. See Table 2.A.
2. Connect shield return to the associated terminal on row B, as
shown in Table 2.A.
•On 1794-TB2 and -TB3 bases only: terminate shields to the
associated shield return terminals on row (B).
•On 1794-TB3T bases only: terminate shields to terminals 39
to 46 on row C.
3. Connect +24V dc to terminal 34 on the 34-51 row (C), and 24V
common to terminal 16 on the Brow.
Important: To reduce susceptibility to noise, power analog modules
and discrete modules from separate power supplies.
!ATTENTION: Do not daisy chain power or ground
from the thermocouple terminal base unit to any ac or
dc discrete module terminal base unit.
Connecting Wiring for the
Thermocouple/mV Module

2–6 How to Install Your Thermocouple/mV Input Module
Publication 1794-6.5.7
!ATTENTION: The Thermocouple/mV module does
not receive power from the backplane. +24V dc power
must be applied to your module before installation. If
power is not applied, the module position will appear
to the adapter as an empty slot in your chassis.
4. On 1794-TB3T terminal base units: Connect the cold junction
compensation (CJC) wiring to terminals 36, 37 and 38 for inputs
0 through 3, and terminals 47, 48 and 49 for inputs 4 through 7.
Connect the tail of the cold junction compensator to any of the
associated thermocouple input terminals: 0 through 7 for CJC
connected to 36, 37 and 38; or 8 through 15 for CJC connected to
47, 48 and 49. The tail of the cold junction compensator shares
a terminal with an input.
5. If daisy chaining the +24V dc power to the next base unit,
connect a jumper from terminal 51 on this base unit to terminal
34 on the next base unit.
