Section 1.6
System
Overview The module communicates to the controller via a 1734 Control Net, Device Net,
or Ethernet adapter. The module receives 5 and 24 VDC power through the bus
interface.
1.6.1 Module Power-up
At power-up, the module performs a check of its internal circuits, memory, and
basic functions. If no faults are found during power-up diagnostics, the module
status LED is turned on.
After power-up checks are complete, the module waits for valid channel
configuration data. If an invalid configuration is detected, the module will
generate a PLC fault. Once a channel is properly configured and enabled, it
continuously converts the input data to a value within the range selected for that
channel.
1.6.2 Module Operation
The 1734sc-IF4U module provides four, independent, analog input channels.
Each channel includes four selectable filter settings, and can be configured for
voltage, thermocouple, current, resistance or RTD input types.
The 1734sc-IF4U module uses a 20-bit Sigma-Delta ADC (Analog-to-Digital
Converter) to achieve 18-bit resolution. (This may be limited to 16-bits resolution
by backplane communication.) Inputs to the ADC are first multiplexed through
analog switches, and then buffered by a precision, low offset and drift,
programmable gain amplifier. The ADC also provides the programmable current
source used in resistive measurements.
The 1734sc-IF4U plug-in module communicates over its isolated CAN Bus
interface through the module backplane. The 1734 network adapter then
communicates to the PLC controller.

2.3.1 Prevent Electrostatic Discharge
WARNING
Electrostatic discharge can damage integrated circuits or semiconductors if
you touch analog I/O module bus connector pins or the terminal block on
the input module. Follow these guidelines when you handle the module:
•Touch a grounded object to discharge static potential.
•Wear an approved wrist-strap grounding device.
•Do not touch connectors or pins on component boards.
•Do not touch circuit components inside the module.
•If available, use a static-safe work station.
•When not in use, keep the module in its static-shield box.
2.3.2 Remove Power
WARNING
Remove power before removing or inserting this module. When you
remove, or insert, a module with 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.
•Electric arcing causes excessive wear to contacts on both the
module and its mating connector, and may lead to premature
failure.
2.3.3 Selecting a Location
Reducing Noise
Most applications require installation in an industrial enclosure to reduce the
effects of electrical interference. Analog inputs are highly susceptible to
electrical noise. Electrical noise coupled to the analog inputs will reduce the
performance (accuracy) of the module. Group your modules to minimize adverse
effects from radiated electrical noise and heat. Consider the following conditions
when selecting a location for the analog module. Position the module:
•Away from sources of electrical noise such as hard-contact switches,
relays, and AC motor drives.
•Away from modules which generate significant radiated heat. Refer to
the module’s heat dissipation specification.
In addition, route shielded, twisted-pair, analog input wiring away from any high
voltage I/O wiring.
