Hello everyone, I have installed an Analog Input module from Allen-Bradley on chassis A17. However, I am encountering an issue where all channels are stuck at a value of 39.9 and I am unable to change it. Any suggestions on how to resolve this problem would be greatly appreciated.
If you are experiencing issues with your module, it may be necessary to perform a calibration or check the wiring. How are your inputs connected to the module? Are you utilizing an external voltage source, or is the module supplying the power? For more information, refer to the product documentation available at the link provided.
Hi there, it sounds like the module might be stuck in a voltage range. Usually, an Analog Input reads a 4-20 mA signal, but if it's set to read voltage, it might be stuck at the extreme of the range (which seems to be 39.9 in your case). Try checking that if the voltage selection jumper is set correctly. Also, ensure the field device is correctly powered and properly grounded. Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Hi there, I had a similar issue with an Allen-Bradley module before. It might be a calibration issue, or it could be that there's a problem with the input signal. Try to check the signal source first and make sure the correct voltage or current is applied. Also, you might want to verify the module's wiring and confirm that the settings in your PLC program match the module's configuration. Sometimes this kind of "stuck" result comes from a mismatch between the software and hardware settings. Good luck!
Hey there, just shooting from the hip but it sounds like you might have a problem with a blown fuse on one of the input channels. If that's the case, the module is designed to continue reading a default voltage even when it can't get a signal from the sensor. I'd suggest checking the fuse and connections of the input channels first. It's also a good idea to double-check the configuration setup in the software to make sure there's nothing misconfigured. Hope this helps!
Hi there, it sounds like you're running into an Analog input loop issue. This is commonly caused by incorrect configuration or a problem with wiring. I'd suggest you first double-check your wiring for any issues. Next, examine the configuration settings on your RSLogix 5000; make sure they match the input module's specs. If these steps don't resolve your problem, you might need to replace the module as it could potentially be faulty.
Hey there! It sounds like you might be dealing with a data scaling issue or perhaps a configuration error in your program. Have you double-checked the module’s settings in your PLC's I/O configuration to make sure they match what you’re actually using (like input types, ranges, etc.)? Also, consider verifying the wiring and connections to ensure everything is secure and correct. If those don’t help, try resetting the module or downloading the configuration again. Good luck!
It sounds like you're dealing with a frustrating issue! Have you checked the wiring and signal integrity to the module? Sometimes, a poor connection or a grounding problem can cause all channels to read the same incorrect value. Additionally, make sure that the module is configured correctly in your programming environment; double-check the data type settings and the scaling for each channel. Also, try doing a reset of the module if you haven't yet—it might help clear any temporary glitches.

Answer: 1. Q: How can I troubleshoot the issue of channels being stuck at a value of 39.9 on the Allen-Bradley Analog Input Module 1756-IF16? To troubleshoot this issue, you can first check the wiring connections to ensure they are secure and properly connected. You can also try reseating the module in the chassis and checking the configuration settings to ensure they are correct.
Answer: Yes, you can try power cycling the module by turning off the power supply, waiting for a few seconds, and then turning it back on. This can sometimes help reset the module and resolve the issue of stuck channels.
Answer: It's possible that the issue could be related to firmware or software. You can try checking for any available firmware updates for the module and also ensure that the software configuration is correct to troubleshoot this issue.
