Chapter 1
Module Overview
This chapter describes the 1762sc-OF8 output module. The module provides 8
analog output channels that can be configured for current or voltage. Included is
information about:
General description
Input types and ranges
Data formats and filter frequencies
Hardware features
System overview and module operation
Section 1.1
General
Description The output module supports current and voltage type outputs. The module
converts the digital value stored in each channel’s output command word to an
analog current or voltage signal. Each output channel is individually configured
via software for a specific output type, data format, and provides open-circuit or
short-circuit detection and indication.
Section 1.2
Input Types
and Ranges The tables below list the output types and their associated ranges.
Voltage Selection
Range (VDC)
-10 V to +10 V
-11.0 to +11.0
0 to +5 V
0.0 to +5.5
0 to +10 V
0.0 to +11.0

Data Formats For each module, the data can be configured for:
Engineering units
Scaled-for-PID
Raw/proportional data
Percent of full range
Section 1.4
Hardware
Features
Module configuration is done via the controller’s programming software. The
module configuration is stored in the memory of the controller. Refer to your
controller’s user manual for more information. The illustration below shows the
module’s hardware features.

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:
Table 1-1 (LED Blink Codes)
Blink Code
Description
Rapid Blink1
PLC not in run mode, or no valid module configuration present
Solid
Module is in run mode (Normal Operation)
3

4
Factory calibration invalid
5

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.

1.5.2 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.
