Preface

Using This Manual

Purpose of this Manual This manual shows you how to use your FLEX I/O 2 input frequency

module with Allen-Bradley programmable controllers. The manual helps

you install, program and troubleshoot your module.

Audience You must be able to program and operate an Allen-Bradley programmable

controller to make efficient use of your FLEX I/O module. In particular,

you must know how to program block transfers.

We assume that you know how to do this in this manual. If you do not,

refer to the appropriate programming and operations manual before you

attempt to program your modules.

Vocabulary In this manual, we refer to:

– the frequency input module as the “input module”

– the Programmable Controller as the “controller”

Overview of the Frequency

Input Module

What This Chapter

Contains

Read this chapter to familiarize yourself with the 1794-IJ2 module.

How You Use the

Frequency Input Module

The 1794-IJ2 module is an intelligent I/O module designed to perform

high-speed frequency algorithms. The module provides:

• 2 Frequency Inputs,

• 2 Gate Inputs and

• 2 Outputs.

The Frequency Inputs can accept frequencies up to 32,767 Hz. The

module accepts and returns binary data.

The module measures frequency over a user-specified time interval. A

frequency calculation can start before the time interval has elapsed, if a

user-specified number of frequency input pulses have occurred.

The module’s primary use is accurate, high-speed frequency

measurement. A high-speed internal clock is synchronized with the

frequency input to count over a user-selected sampling time or a

user-defined number of frequency input pulses.

All power for input devices (4 devices, 24 Vdc @ 15 mA max) is supplied

by the I/O module.

1-2 Overview of the Frequency Input Module

What the Frequency Input

Module Does

The frequency input module performs high-speed frequency and/or

scaling calculation operations for various industrial applications. The

module interfaces with a FLEX family adapter which then communicates

with a programmable controller

processor that has block-transfer

capability and external I/O devices.

The adapter/power supply transfers data to the module (block transfer

write) and from the module (block transfer read) using BTW and BTR

instructions in your ladder diagram program. These instructions let the

adapter read input values and status from the module, and let you write

output values and configure the module’s mode of operation. The

following illustration describes the communication process.

Typical Applications You can use the 1794-IJ2 module in the power management, automotive,

food and beverage, and oil and gas industries for various flow and/or

turbine metering applications. Some sample applications include:

• turbine shaft speed monitoring

• automotive paint booths

• brewery flow monitoring

• petrochemical flow and custody transfer

The adapter transfers your configuration data

to the module using a BTW.

Flexbus

External devices transmit

frequency signals to the module.

2

The module converts

frequency signals into integer

format and stores these values

until the adapter requests their

transfer.

3

Your ladder program instructs the

adapter to perform a BTR of the values

and stores them in a data table.

4

The adapter and module determine

that the transfer was made without error

and input values are within specified

range.

5

Your ladder program can use and/or move the data (if valid)

before it is written over by the transfer of new data in a

subsequent transfer.

6

Your ladder program performs BTWs to the module when you power

it up, and any time you wish to reconfigure the module.

1-4 Overview of the Frequency Input Module

Input Capabilities The frequency module has 2 input channels (mode dependent). Each of

the 2 input channels may accept these input signals:

• magnetic pickup — 500mV to 28V ac peak (optional 50mV to

28V ac peak for increased signal sensitivity)

• proximity probe inputs

– compatible with Bently Nevada 3300 (5mm and 8mm) proximity

transducer systems

– provides 1 isolated 24V dc power supply (2 channels rated at

30mA each) to power external devices

– vortex flowmeter – 6V and 3V

You configure the module’s 2 input channels for your specific

application(s). Each input channel has two input selections:

Output Capabilities The 1794-IJ2 module has 2 assignable outputs. These outputs are

designed for applications that require fast response. The outputs:

• are current sourcing at 10-31.2V dc (1A maximum per output)

• are electrically fused/current limited to 3A

• can be assigned to the associated input channel with user-selectable

frequency and acceleration values

• are isolated — this lets you use two separate external power supplies

if desired (one for output 0 and one for output 1)

Implementing Application Features

You can use the module to implement programmable application features

that are usually initiated by your PLC processor. This frees the PLC

processor to do other tasks and helps increase the overall throughput of

your PLC system.

How Frequency is

Calculated

The following paragraphs detail operation of the frequency input module

algorithm and its modifying parameters.

Frequency Calculation

Frequency is determined by a general algorithm which can be modified by

user defined parameters. In its simplest form, the algorithm employs the

user defined Minimum Sampling Time to set a window in which to count

pulses to determine the frequency. At least two pulses are required within

the sample window. Frequency is determined by storing the time the first

pulse occurred and then continually storing and updating the time of

subsequent pulses, along with the number of pulses encountered. When

the window expires, the frequency is calculated and the procedure repeats.

The sequence and formula for determining frequency are shown below.

1-6 Overview of the Frequency Input Module

If only one pulse occurs within the sampling window, when the sample

time has expired, the window is extended to 2 seconds to allow for a

second pulse to occur. As soon as a second pulse occurs, the frequency is

calculated and the procedures starts over. If no second pulse is detected,

zero frequency is reported and a Missing Pulse Alarm is generated. The

following figure depicts this situation.

Termination on Number of Pulses

The normal mode is designed to provide wide bandwidth. However, it

requires the full 2 seconds to report a missing pulse. Another user

parameter, Number of Pulses to Terminate Sampling, is provided for

those situations where many pulses are expected within the sampling

window, such that early determination of frequency is possible.

Overview of the Frequency Input Module 1-7

During normal operation, there is a sufficient number of pulses to prevent

the module from entering the 2 second extension mode. Once the user

defined number of pulses is reached within the sampling window, the

frequency is immediately reported.

If the sampling window was extended to 2 seconds while waiting for a

second pulse to occur, a situation which can occur during system startup,

the module will not wait for the number of pulses to be reached. Instead,

as soon as a second pulse occurs, the frequency will be calculated based

on the time between the 2 pulses, and the procedure starts over.

Missing Pulse Multiplier

The last user parameter which is provided to modify the frequency

algorithm is the Missing Pulse Multiplier. In this case, the user can set the

number of Minimum Frequency Sampling Time windows they will allow

to extend the time to capture a second pulse, before reporting a Missing

Pulse Alarm. The intent with this parameter is to allow a tradeoff of the

bandwidth available with the response time to report a missing pulse. This

mechanism is shown in the following figure.

1-8 Overview of the Frequency Input Module

Direction Detection

Direction detection is accomplished by using the Frequency input, Gate

input, and two sensors. The module expects to see a Low to High

transition on the Frequency input, followed by a Low to High transition

on the Gate input. This assumes both input polarity select bits are the

same selection.

This corresponds to Clockwise rotation (see figure). If a Low to High

transition occurs on the Gate input, followed by one on the Frequency

input, the rotation is CounterClockwise.
