Multiple Output Ranges
The 1756-OF8I module offers multiple output ranges that are dictated by
channel configuration choices. The output type selection determines the
available ranges.
To see where to select the output range, see page 127 .
Channel Offset
With this feature, you can compensate for any known error on the sensor or
channel to which the sensor is connected. This value is in signal units and is
added to the output data.
You can set the channel offset in either of the following ways:
• On the Configuration tab of the Module Properties dialog box.
• Directly in the channel’s C.Ch[x].Offset tag.
For example, if the channel has an error such that it reads 8 mA as 7.8 mA, you
account for the error by setting the Channel Offset field on the Configuration
tab to 0.2000 or by setting the
C.Ch[x].Offset tag to 0.2.
To see where to set the Channel Offset, see page 127 .
