1.2 System connection
IVC-EH-4DA is applied to IVC3 series PLC systems. It can be connected to
an IVC3 series system through hard connection, that is, inserting it into the
extension interface of any extension module of the main module or system,
as shown in Figure 1-3.
After the IVC-EH-4DA module is connected to the system, its extension
interface can also be used to connect another extension module of the IVC3
series, such as the I/O extension module, VC-EH-4AD, IVC-EH-4TC, or
another IVC-EH-4DA.
The main module of an IVC3 series PLC can be extended with multiple I/O
extension modules and special function modules. The number of extension
modules depends on the power that the module can supply. For details, see
section 4.7 "Power supply specifications" in the IVC3 Series PLC User
Manual.

and the main module
1.3 Wiring description
Figure 1-4 shows the user terminal wiring requirements. Pay attention to the
following seven aspects:
1. It is recommended that you connect the analog output by
using a shielded twisted-pair cable, and keep the cable away
from power cables or other cables that may cause electrical
interference.
2. Adopt the single-point grounding mode at the load end of the output
cable.
3. If electrical noise or voltage fluctuation occurs in the output, it is
recommended that you configure a smoothing capacitor (0.1μF to
0.47μF/25V).
4. Do not short-circuit the voltage output or connect the current load to the
voltage output terminal. Otherwise, IVC-EH-4DA may be damaged.
5. Ground the ground terminal PG of the module properly.
6. The auxiliary 24 V DC output power supply or any other power supply
that meets requirements can be used as the analog power supply.
7. Do not use the empty pin of the user terminal.

DC/DC converter. Analog channels are not isolated
from each other.
2.3 BFM
The IVC-EH-4DA module can exchange information with the main module
through the buffer memory (BFM) in either of the following operation modes:
Mode 1
The channels and converting results are set quickly in the configuration
interfaces. This is also a common mode in which special extension modules
are set.
Mode 2
1. The main module writes information to the BFM of IVC-EH-4DA through
TO instructions to set IVC-EH-4DA.
2. The main module reads the DA converting results of IVC-EH-4DA and
other information in the BFM through FROM instructions.
Table 2-3 describes the information in the BFM of IVC-EH-4DA.

Description:
1. Only for buffers with the asterisk (*), the main module can write
information to the BFM of IVC-EH-4DA through TO instructions and read
information of any unit in the BFM through FROM instructions. If the main
module reads information from a reserved unit, the value 0 is obtained.
2. The input mode depends on the value of BFM#700. #700 determines
control channel 1, #701 determines control channel 2, #702 determines
control channel 3, and #703 determines control channel 4. Table 2-4
describes the meaning of the values of the characters.

For example, if "0x0001" is written into the #700 unit, the following
information is set:
Output range of channel 1: -10 V–+10 V
3. The units BFM#900 to BFM#915 are buffers for channel characteristic
settings, and channel characteristics are set in two-point mode. D0 and
D1 indicate the digital output of the channel, A0 and A1 indicate the
actual input (in the unit of mV) of the channel, and each channel uses 4
words. To simplify the setting of users without affecting the
implementation of functions, the values of A0 and A1 are fixed to 0 and
the maximum value of the analog in the applied mode. The values
change with the modification of channel mode words (such as BFM#700).
Users cannot modify these two items.
Note: If the voltage output ranges from -10 V to +10 V, the impedance of
the external load is no lower than 2 kΩ. If the current output ranges from

0 mA to 20 mA, the the impedance of the external load is no higher than
500 Ω

5. When BFM#400 is set to 1, that is, when it is activated, all the settings of
the module are reset to the default values.
6. BFM#500 is used to disable the modification of the I/O characteristic.
After BFM#500 is set to 0, you cannot modify the I/O characteristic until
BFM#500 is set to 1.
7. BFM#4094 contains the module software version information. You can
use the FROM instruction to read the information.
8. BFM#4095 contains the module identification code. The identification
code of IVC-EH-4DA is 0X2402. User programs on the PLC can use this
code to identify the special module IVC-EH-4DA before transmitting or
receiving data.
3 Characteristic setting
The input channel characteristic of IVC-EH-4DA is the linear relationship
between the analog output A and digital input D of the channel. You can set
the characteristic. Each channel can be understood as the model shown in
Figure 3-1. Since it is linear, the characteristic of a channel can be
determined by identifying two points, P0 (A0, D0) and P1 (A1, D1). D0
indicates the channel digital input when the analog output is A0, and D1
indicates the channel digital input when the analog output is A1.
Figure 3-1 Channel characteristic of IVC-EH-4DA
To simplify the setting of users without affecting the implementation of
functions, the values of A0 and A1 are fixed to 0 and the maximum value of
the analog in the applied mode, that is, in Figure 3-1, A0 is 0 and A1 is the
maximum analog input in the applied mode. The values change with the
modification of channel mode words (such as BFM#700). Users cannot
modify these two items.
If you do not modify D0 and D1 of each channel and only set the channel
mode (BFM#700), the characteristic of each mode is the default one, as
shown in Figure 3-2. The characteristics A, B, and C in Figure 3-2 are factory
settings.

Figure 3-2 Default channel characteristic of each mode when D0 and D1 are
not modified
If D0 and D1 of a channel are modified, the characteristic of the channel is
changed. D0 and D1 can be set to any value ranging from -10000 to +1000. If
the setting exceeds the range, IVC-EH-4DA does not receive the setting and
keep the original valid setting.
4 Application instance
4.1 Configuring the extension module
through the configuration interface
Example: The address of the IVC-EH-4DA module is 1 (for the addressing
method of special function modules, see the IVC-EH-4DA Series PLC User
Manual). Channel 1 is disabled, channel 2 is set to output voltage signals (-10
V–+10 V), channel 3 is set to output current signals (0–20 mA), channel 4 is
set to output current signals (4–20 mA), and the to-be-transmitted data D2 or
real-time data are written into the conversion buffer register.
You can configure registers directly in the provided extension module
configuration interface instead of using FROM and TO instructions. The
configuration steps are as follows:
1. Double-click the extension module configuration tab in the System block
category on Project Manager.
2. Double-click the module to be configured on the right instruction tree to
add it to the configuration.
3. After configuring all the parameters, click OK to complete the
configuration.
After the configuration is complete, the user program needs only to use
the configured D element to communicate with the special function
module instead of using FROM and TO instructions. After the compiling
is verified, the system block is downloaded to the main module with the
user program. Figure 4-1 shows the configuration interface.
Figure 4-1 IVC-EH-4DA configuration interface
4.2 Configuring the extension module through
instructions
Example: The address of the IVC-EH-4DA module is 3 (for the addressing
method of special function modules, see the IVC-EH-4DA Series PLC User
Manual), and the number of points of the average values is 8 by default. The
following figure shows the modification of the characteristics shown in Figure

3-2. Channel 1 is disabled, the characteristic of channel 2 is modified to A in
Figure 3-2, that of channel 3 is modified to B, that of channel 4 is modified to
C, and data registers D2, D3, and D4 are used to receive the conversion
results of the average values.
5 Running inspection
5.1 Routine inspection
1. Check whether the wiring of the analog input meets the requirements.
Refer to section 1.3 "Wiring description".
2. Check whether IVC-EH-4DA is firmly inserted into the extension
interface.
3. Check whether the 5 V and 24 V power supplies are overloaded. Note:
The power of the digital part of IVC-EH-4DA is supplied by the main
module through the extension interface.
4. Check the application program and ensure that the correct operation
method and parameter range are selected in the application.
5. Set the main module of IVC-EH-4DA to the RUN state.
5.2 Fault checking
If IVC-EH-4DA does not run properly, check the following items:
• Check the state of the "POWER" indicator.
On: The extension interface is connected properly.
Off: Check the status of the extension connection and the main module.
• Check the analog wiring.
• Check the state of the "24V" indicator.
On: The 24 V DC power supply works properly.
Off: The 24 V DC power supply may be faulty. If the 24 V DC power
supply works properly, IVC-EH-4DA is faulty.
• Check the state of the "RUN" indicator.
Blinking at a high frequency: IVC-EH-4DA runs properly.
Blinking at a low frequency or off: Check the information in BFM#300.
