Data Formats
The data can be configured on board each module as:
engineering units x 1
engineering units x 10
scaled-for-PID
percent of full-scale
raw/proportional data
Filter Frequencies
The module uses a digital filter that provides high frequency noise
rejection for the input signals. The filter is programmable, allowing
you to select from six different filter frequencies for each channel:
10 Hz
50 Hz
60 Hz
250 Hz
500 Hz
1000 Hz
Hardware Features
Channels are wired as differential inputs. A cold junction
compensation (CJC) sensor is attached to the terminal block to enable
accurate readings from each channel. The sensor compensates for
offset voltages introduced into the input signal as a result of the
cold-junction where the thermocouple wires are connected to the
module.

Overview
System Overview
System Operation
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 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 generates a configuration error. Once a channel is properly
configured and enabled, it continuously converts the thermocouple or
millivolt input to a value within the range selected for that channel.
Each time a channel is read by the input module, that data value is
tested by the module for an over-range, under-range, open-circuit, or
input data not valid condition. If such a condition is detected, a
unique bit is set in the channel status word. The channel status word
is described in Input Data File on page 3-2.
Using the module image table, the controller reads the twos
complement binary converted thermocouple or millivolt 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.
Overview
1-5
Module Operation
When the module receives a differential input from an analog device,
the modules circuitry multiplexes the input into an A/D converter.
The converter reads the signal and converts it as required for the type
of input. The module also continuously samples the CJC sensor and
compensates for temperature changes at the terminal block cold
junction, between the thermocouple wire and the input channel. See
the block diagram below.

Power Requirements
The module receives power through the bus interface from the +5V
dc/+24V dc system power supply. The maximum current drawn by
the module is shown in the table below.
General Considerations
at 5V dc
at 24V dc
40 mA
50 mA
(1) Pollution Degree 2 is an environment where, normally, only non-conductive pollution occurs except that
occasionally a temporary conductivity caused by condensation shall be expected.
(2) Over Voltage Category II is the load level section of the electrical distribution system. At this level transient
voltages are controlled and do not exceed the impulse voltage capability of the products insulation.
(3) Pollution Degree 2 and Over Voltage Category II are International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC)
designations.
2-3
EXPLOSION HAZARD
Substitution of components may impair suitability
for Class I, Division 2.
Do no replace components or disconnect
equipment unless power has been switched off
or the area is known to be non-hazardous.
Do not connect or disconnect components unless
power has been switched off or the area is
known to be non-hazardous.
This product must be installed within an
enclosure.
All wiring must comply with N.E.C. article
501-4(b).

ATTENTION
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 modules heat dissipation specification.
In addition, route shielded, twisted-pair analog input wiring away
from any high voltage I/O wiring.

Panel Mounting
Use the dimensional template shown below to mount the module.
The preferred mounting method is to use two M4 or #8 panhead
screws per module. M3.5 or #6 panhead screws may also be used, but
a washer may be needed to ensure a good ground contact. Mounting
screws are required on every module.

Field Wiring Connections

EXPLOSION HAZARD
In Class I, Division 2 applications, the bus
connector must be fully seated and the bus
connector cover must be snapped in place.
In Class I, Division 2 applications, all modules
must be mounted in direct contact with each
other as shown on page 2-5. If DIN rail
mounting is used, an end stop must be installed
ahead of the controller and after the last 1762
I/O module.
General
Power and input wiring must be in accordance with Class 1,
Division 2 wiring methods, Article 501-4(b) of the National
Electric Code, NFPA 70, and in accordance with the authority
having jurisdiction.
Channels are isolated from one another by 10 Vdc maximum.
If multiple power supplies are used with analog millivolt inputs,
the power supply commons must be connected.
2-8
Terminal Block
Do not tamper with or remove the CJC sensor on the terminal
block. Removal of the sensor reduces accuracy.
For millivolt sensors, use Belden 8761 shielded, twisted-pair
wire (or equivalent) to ensure proper operation and high
immunity to electrical noise.
For a thermocouple, use the shielded, twisted-pair
thermocouple extension lead wires specified by the
thermocouple manufacturer. Using the incorrect type of
thermocouple extension wire or not following the correct
polarity will cause invalid readings.
To ensures optimum accuracy, limit overall cable impedance by
keeping a cable as short as possible. Locate the module as close
to input devices as the application permits.
Grounding
ATTENTION
2-9
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 120V 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.
To limit the pickup of electrical noise, keep thermocouple and
millivolt signal wires as far as possible from power and load
lines.
If noise persists for a device, try grounding the opposite end of
the cable shield. (You can only ground one end at a time.)
Wiring
2-10
ATTENTION
When wiring the terminal block, keep the finger-safe cover in place.
1. Route the wire under the terminal pressure plate. You can use
the stripped end of the wire or a spade lug. The terminals will

The input image file represents data words and status words. Input
words 0 through 3 hold the input data that represents the value of the
analog inputs for channels 0 through 3. These data words are valid
only when the channel is enabled and there are no errors. Input
words 4 and 5 hold the status bits. To receive valid status information,
the channel must be enabled.
You can access the information in the input image file using the
programming software data files input screen.

previously accepted new configuration. When conversion
begins, the bit condition is reset (0). The amount of time it takes
for the module to begin the conversion process depends on the
number of channels being configured and the amount of
configuration data downloaded by the controller.

(1) Type B and C thermocouples cannot be represented in engineering units x1 (F) above 3276.7 F; therefore, it will be treated as an over-range error.
(2) When millivolts are selected, the temperature setting is ignored. Analog input date is the same for C or F selection.
TIP
3-7
Raw/Proportional Data
The value presented to the controller is proportional to the selected
input and scaled into the maximum data range allowed by the bit
resolution of the A/D converter and filter selected. The
raw/proportional data format also provides the best resolution of all
the data formats.
If you select the raw/proportional data format for a channel, the data
word will be a number between -32767 and +32767. For example, if a
type J thermocouple is selected, the lowest temperature of -210C
corresponds to -32767 counts. The highest temperature of 1200C
corresponds to +32767. See Determining Effective Resolution and
Range on page 3-14.
Engineering Units x 1
When using this data format for a thermocouple or millivolt input, the
module scales the thermocouple or millivolt input data to the actual
engineering values for the selected millivolt input or thermocouple
type. It expresses temperatures in 0.1C or 0.1F units. For millivolt
inputs, the module expresses voltages in 0.01 mV units.
TIP
3-8
Engineering Units x 10
When using a thermocouple input with this data format, the module
scales the input data to the actual temperature values for the selected
thermocouple type. With this format, the module expresses
temperatures in 1C or 1F units. For millivolt inputs, the module
expresses voltages in 0.1 mV units.
The resolution of the engineering units x 10 data format is dependent
on the range selected and the filter selected. See Determining Effective
Resolution and Range on page 3-14.
Scaled-for-PID
The value presented to the controller is a signed integer with 0
representing the lower input range and +16383 representing the upper
input range.
To obtain the value, the module scales the input signal range to a 0 to
+16383 range, which is standard to the PID algorithm for the
MicroLogix 1200 and other Allen-Bradley controllers (e.g. SLC). For
example, if type J thermocouple is used, the lowest temperature for
the thermocouple is -210C, which corresponds to 0 counts. The
highest temperature in the input range, 1200C, corresponds to
+16383 counts.
Percent Range
Input data is presented to the user as a percent of the specified range.
The module scales the input signal range to a 0 to +10000 range. For
example, using a type J thermocouple, the range -210C to +1200C is
represented as 0% to 100%. See Determining Effective Resolution and
Range on page 3-14.
3-9
IMPORTANT
TIP
Bits 6 and 5 define the state of the channel data word when an
open-circuit condition is detected for the corresponding channel. The
module overrides the actual input data depending on the option that
you specify when it detects an open circuit. The open-circuit options
are explained in the table on page 3-10.
3-10
Definition
Upscale
Sets the input data value to full upper scale value of channel data word. The
full-scale value is determined by the selected input type and data format.
Downscale
Sets the input data value to full lower scale value of channel data word. The
low scale value is determined by the selected input type and data format.
Last State
Sets the input data value to the last input value prior to the detection of the
open-circuit.
Zero
Sets the input data value to 0 to force the channel data word to 0.

Determining Effective
Resolution and Range
The effective resolution for an input channel depends upon the filter
frequency selected for that channel. The following graphs provide the
effective resolution for each of the range selections at the six available
frequencies. These graphs do not include the affects of unfiltered
input noise. Choose the frequency that most closely matches your
requirements.

TIP
Determining Module
Update Time
The module update time is defined as the time required for the
module to sample and convert the input signals of all enabled input
channels and provide the resulting data values to the processor.
Module update time can be calculated by adding the sum of all
enabled channels times. The module sequentially samples the
enabled channels in a continuous loop as shown below.

Channel update time is dependent upon the input filter selection. The
following table shows the channel update times.

The CJC input is only sampled if one or more channels are enabled
for any thermocouple type. The CJC update time is equal to the largest
channel update time of any of the enabled thermocouple inputs types.
In that case, a single CJC update is done per scan. See the scan
diagram on the previous page. The cyclic calibration time only applies
when cyclic calibration is enabled and active. If enabled, the cyclic
calibration is staggered over several scan cycles once every five
minutes to limit the overall impact to module update time.

Safety Considerations
ATTENTION
Indicator Lights
When the green LED on the module is illuminated, it indicates that
power is applied to the module and that it has passed its internal tests.
4-2
Program Alteration
There are several possible causes of alteration to the user program,
including extreme environmental conditions, Electromagnetic
Interference (EMI), improper grounding, improper wiring
connections, and unauthorized tampering. If you suspect a program
has been altered, check it against a previously saved master program.
Safety Circuits
Circuits installed on the machine for safety reasons, like over-travel
limit switches, stop push buttons, and interlocks, should always be
hard-wired to the master control relay. These devices must be wired
in series so that when any one device opens, the master control relay
is de-energized, thereby removing power to the machine. Never alter
these circuits to defeat their function. Serious injury or machine
damage could result.

Open-Circuit Detection
On each scan, the module performs an open-circuit test on all
enabled channels. Whenever an open-circuit condition occurs, the
open-circuit bit for that channel is set in input data word 6.
Possible causes of an open circuit include:

Calibration
(1) Rated working voltage is the maximum continuous voltage that can be applied at the input terminal, including
the input signal and the value that floats above ground potential (for example, 30V dc input signal and 20V dc
potential above ground).
(2) For proper operation, both the plus and minus input terminals must be within 10V dc of analog common.
(3) Open-circuit detection time is equal to the module scan time, which is based on the number of enabled
channels, the filter frequency of each channel, and whether cyclic calibration is enabled..

The module uses the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) ITS-90 standard for thermocouple linearization.
Accuracy and temperature drift information does not include the affects of errors or drift in the cold junction compensation circuit.
Accuracy is dependent upon the analog/digital converter output rate selection, data format, and input noise.
Temperature drift with autocalibration is slightly better than without autocalibration.

may not satisfy the tolerances specified for the -200C to 0C range. If
materials are required to meet the tolerances below 0C, this should
be specified when they are purchased.
The suggested upper temperature limit, 870C, given in the ASTM
standard [7] for protected type E thermocouples applies to AWG 8
(3.25 mm) wire. It decreases to 650C for AWG 14 (1.63 mm), 540C
for AWG 20 (0.81 mm), 430C for AWG 24 or 28 (0.51 mm or 0.33
mm), and 370C for AWG 30 (0.25 mm). These temperature limits
apply to thermocouples used in conventional closed-end protecting
tubes and they are intended only as a rough guide to the user. They
do not apply to thermocouples having compacted mineral oxide
insulation.

Szaniszlo [24], and Walker et al [25,26] have determined the effects that
prolonged exposure at elevated temperatures (>1200C) in vacuum,
air, and argon atmospheres have on the thermoelectric voltages of
type R thermocouples.
ASTM Standard E230-87 in the 1992 Annual Book of ASTM Standards
[7] specifies that the initial calibration tolerances for type R commercial
thermocouples be 1.5C or 0.25 percent (whichever is greater)
between 0C and 1450C. Type R thermocouples can be supplied to
meet special tolerances of 0.6C or 0.1 percent (whichever is
greater).
The suggested upper temperature limit, 1480C, given in the ASTM
standard [7] for protected type R thermocouples applies to AWG 24
(0.51 mm) wire. This temperature limit applies to thermocouples used
in conventional closed-end protecting tubes and it is intended only as
a rough guide to the user. It does not apply to thermocouples having
compacted mineral oxide insulation.

The 1762-IT4 uses six 16-bit binary numbers to configure each of its
four channels. To properly configure and enable input channel 1 for
the setting in the table below, add the decimal values given to each of
the six parameters. These decimal values are listed in the
configuration table on page 3-5.

Glossary
The following terms and abbreviations are used throughout this
manual. For definitions of terms not listed here refer to Allen-Bradleys
Industrial Automation Glossary, Publication AG-7.1.
A/D Converter Refers to the analog to digital converter inherent to
the module. The converter produces a digital value whose magnitude
is proportional to the magnitude of an analog input signal.
attenuation The reduction in the magnitude of a signal as it passes
through a system.
bus connector A 16-pin male and female connector that provides
electrical interconnection between the modules.
channel Refers to input interfaces available on the modules
terminal block. Each channel is configured for connection to a
thermocouple or millivolt input device, and has its own data and
diagnostic status words.
channel update time The time required for the module to sample
and convert the input signals of one enabled input channel and
update the channel data word.
CJC Cold junction compensation. CJC is the means by which the
module compensates for the offset voltage error introduced by the
temperature at the junction between a thermocouple lead wire and
the module terminal block (the cold junction).
common mode rejection For analog inputs, the maximum level to
which a common mode input voltage appears in the numerical value
read by the processor, expressed in dB.
common mode rejection ratio (CMMR) The ratio of a devices
differential voltage gain to common mode voltage gain. Expressed in
dB, CMRR is a comparative measure of a devices ability to reject
interference caused by a voltage common to its input terminals
relative to ground. CMRR=20 Log10 (V1/V2)
common mode voltage The voltage difference between the
negative terminal and analog common during normal differential
operation.
common mode voltage range The largest voltage difference
allowed between either the positive or negative terminal and analog
common during normal differential operation.
configuration word Word containing the channel configuration
information needed by the module to configure and operate each
channel.

LSB Least significant bit. The LSB represents the smallest value
within a string of bits. For analog modules, 16-bit, twos complement
binary codes are used in the
I/O image. For analog inputs, the LSB is defined as the rightmost bit of
the 16-bit field (bit 0). The weight of the LSB value is defined as the
full-scale range divided by the resolution.
module scan time same as module update time
module update time The time required for the module to sample
and convert the input signals of all enabled input channels and make
the resulting data values available to the processor.
multiplexer An switching system that allows several signals to
share a common A/D converter.
normal mode rejection (differential mode rejection) A logarithmic
measure, in dB, of a devices ability to reject noise signals between or
among circuit signal conductors. The measurement does not apply to
noise signals between the equipment grounding conductor or signal
reference structure and the signal conductors.
number of significant bits The power of two that represents the
total number of completely different digital codes to which an analog
signal can be converted or from which it can be generated.
overall accuracy The worst-case deviation of the digital
representation of the input signal from the ideal over the full input
range is the overall accuracy. Overall accuracy is expressed in percent
of full scale.
repeatability The closeness of agreement among repeated
measurements of the same variable under the same conditions.
resolution The increment of change represented by one unit.
For example, the resolution of engineering units x1 is 0.1 and the
resolution of raw/proportional data is equal to
(maximum_value - minimum_value)/65534.
