CompactLogix 1769-OF4CI

Am I missing something??? I have a CompactLogix platform in development with 1769-L35E processor that will use the 1769-OF4CI analog output module. Programming with RS logix 5000(Ver 15.01), this module does not appear on the "select module" menu. I did add a generic module to my I/O configuration and found the module info (KnowledgeBase ID#32804). But I am still unable to configure my output range or data format! What gives??

Some Logix I/O modules in the 1734 and 1769 families were added to the RSLogix 5000 hardware system after release, using "Module Profiles".

You can download them for free (though you do have to log into the site) here:

Thanks Ken for pointing me in the right direction. When I tried to find the download for this particular module before at the Rockwell site I had no success..

It looks like the 1769-OF4CI was available under version 13; it should be there.

I got the information I needed this time.. Thanks!!

I have the same issue as the original poster (1769-OF4CI not in I/O list), except using Logix 500, ver 6.20. Any idea of how to access the module configuration? Thanks in advance...

Chris,

I checked and was unable to find an add on profile for RS Logix 500 for the 1769-OF4CI,that does not mean that one is not offered.

You will receive more support if you post a new thread if you have not already done so.

To get this add on profile for RS logix 500 you will need to create a profile on the rockwell site and have a support agreement using your toolkit serial number or your software serial number.

In any event, this is a great resource for you when you encounter an issue and need support.

Good luck..

RSLogix 500 doesn't use Add-On Profiles the way RSLogix 5000 does; new I/O modules need to be hard-coded into the software. I have version 7.10 and the 1769-OF4CI doesn't appear in the I/O selection there either.

Therfore, you have to use the "Other I/O Module" generic method to configure this module. It's described in Appendix B of the 1769-OF4CI User Manual.

The Module Type code I found in that Appendix B is a typo, though (it says 66, it should be 45). The correct codes can be found in the RA Knowledgebase, Answer ID # 32804.

In fact, go ahead and search the Knowledgebase with the keyword 1769-OF4CI to learn more about the module's configuration and operation characteristics. There are a few considerations you should know about when setting it up, for functions like hold-last-state and Engineering Units scaling.

Download a file from the new version of rslogix with an i/o config that has the cards you need... Email a friend or someone you know that has the newer version and have em send it to you. It will put the id in for you.
