1.4.1 LED Indicator
The 1762 output module uses a single green LED to show operational status of
the module. The LED will illuminate solid when the PLC is in run mode and the
module properly configured. If the module is not properly configured, or if the
PLC is not in run mode, the LED will blink rapidly. The following blink codes
are the only exception:

Section 1.5
System
Overview The module communicates to the controller through the bus interface. The
module also receives 5 VDC and 24 VDC power through the bus interface.
1.5.1 Module Power-up
At power-up, the module performs a check of its internal circuits, memory, and
basic functions. During this time, the module status LED remains off. If no
faults are found during power-up diagnostics, the module status LED blinks
rapidly waiting for command mode.
After power-up checks are complete, the module waits for command mode and
then valid channel configuration data. If an invalid configuration is detected, the
module generates a configuration error and remains in command mode. Once the
module is properly configured and enabled, it continuously converts the output
command value to a proportional analog output signal.
Each time a channel command value is read by the output module, that data value
is tested by the module for an over-range or under-range condition. If such a
condition is detected, a unique bit is set in the channel status word. The channel
status word is described in section 0 Input Data File.
Using the module image table, the controller reads the two’s complement binary
converted input data from the module. This typically occurs at the end of the
program scan or when commanded by the control program. If the controller and
the module determine that the data transfer has been made without error, the data
is used in the control program.

All outputs are disabled until the PLC goes into run mode, and the module receives a valid configuration.

1-4 Chapter 1: Module Overview
User’s Manual Pub. 0300246-01 Rev. C
1.5.2 Module Operation
When the module receives a new command value from the output image, the
module’s circuitry converts the digital value to an analog current/voltage signal
using a DAC (Digital to Analog Converter). See the block diagram below.

module and its mating connector, and may lead to premature
failure.
2.3.4 Selecting a Location
2.3.5 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.

Grounding
This product is intended to be mounted to a well-grounded mounting
surface such as a metal panel. Additional grounding connections from
the module’s mounting tabs or DIN rail (if used) are not required unless
the mounting surface cannot be grounded.
Under normal conditions, the drain wire (shield) should be connected to
the metal mounting panel (earth ground). Keep shield connection to earth
ground as short as possible.
Ground the shield drain wire at one end only. The typical location is at
the module end.
If it is necessary to connect the shield drain wire at the module end,
connect it to earth ground using a panel or DIN rail mounting screw.
Refer to Industrial Automation Wiring and Grounding Guidelines, Allen-
Bradley publication 1770-4.1, for additional information.
Noise Prevention
Route field wiring away from any other wiring and as far as possible
from sources of electrical noise, such as motors, transformers, contactors,
and ac devices. As a general rule, allow at least 15.2 cm (6 in.) of
separation for every 120 V of power.
Routing field wiring in a grounded conduit can reduce electrical noise.
If field wiring must cross ac or power cables, ensure that they cross at
right angles.
If noise persists for a device, try grounding the opposite end of the cable
shield or ground both ends of the shield.
