 Chapter 1
Module Overview
The PowerFlex® 8 Channel Universal Analog Input Module (20-750sc-8U) is an 8-point
universal analog option card designed for use in PowerFlex 753/755 systems. The option
card supports up to 8 concurrent channels of current, voltage, and resistance
measurements, and/or up to 4 channels of 3- and 4-wire resistance temperature detector
(RTD) measurements. (3- and 4-wire RTD measurements use adjacent channel pairs,
which reduces the number of available channels.) All inputs have fault tolerance and ESD
protection to avoid damage to the circuitry on the board. The option card is designed to
plug into an available option slot (4, 5, or 6) within a PowerFlex 753/755 series drive.
This chapter includes information about:
 General Description
 Input Specifications
 Hardware Features
 System overview and option card operation

Section 1.1
General
Description

Control Pod

PowerFlex
755 Drives

The 20-750sc-8U option card plugs into I/O module openings 4, 5, or 6, in the Control
Pod of the PowerFlex 750 family of AC drives. The option card uses a 64-pin edge
connector to provide the connection to the AC drive. The option card has pre-defined
locations to hold configuration, status, and channel values that are accessible to the AC
drive through the backplane Drive Peripheral Interface (DPI). Each input channel can be
defined as voltage, current, resistance, or RTD. You connect the analog input signals to
the option card using a 24-pin spring-cage, removable terminal block on the option card.

User’s Manual Pub. 0300287-01 Rev. A

1-2 Chapter 1, Module Overview

You use Rockwell-supplied CCW software, version 10.0 or later, to configure the option
card upon installation, and to communicate with the option card via the AC drive and the
backplane. You may also program the option card with the HIM interface that plugs into
the front of the AC drive. Data exchanged between the option card and the AC drive
communicates option card configuration, status, and digitized samples from the 8 analog
inputs. Types of communication include reset commands from the AC drive to the option
card, interrupts from the option card to the AC drive, option card status queries from the
AC drive, and configuration changes.
Power is provided to the option card across the backplane. The option card provides
power to run the attached resistances or RTDs.

WARNING Hazard of injury to personnel or damage to equipment.

Do NOT hot-swap a 20-750sc-8U option card. This will damage
the option card, and/or cause injury to the personnel.
The unit is not designed to be hot swapped. The option card must be
plugged into the drive before power is turned on to the drive.
When removing the option card, power must be turned off to the
drive before attempting to remove the option card.

defaults and reconfigure the option card. The factory
calibration data may be corrupted. Replace the module.

Section 1.4
System
Overview
The PowerFlex 750 series AC drives use a spring-loaded, edge card connector to
interface to the 20-750sc-8U option card. The option card receives 12 VDC power
through the bus interface. The option card is expected to operate indefinitely. It does not
require periodic maintenance or calibration.

1.4.1 Option Card Power-up

At power-up, the option card performs a check of its internal circuits, memory, and basic
functions. If no faults are found during power-up diagnostics, the option card status LED
is turned on.
After power-up checks are complete, the option card loads its stored configuration
parameters. When new, the option card begins operation in a default usable condition.
The default configuration is all channels enabled in the 4-20 mA range.

1.4.2 Option Card Operation

The 750sc-8U option card provides eight independent analog input channels. Each
channel includes four selectable filter settings and can be configured for voltage,
thermocouple, current, resistance or RTD input types.
The 750sc-8U option card uses an Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) to achieve 20-bit
resolution. Inputs to the ADC are first multiplexed through analog switches then buffered
by a precision, low offset and drift, programmable gain amplifier. The ADC also provides
the programmable current source used in resistive measurements.
The 750sc-8U plug-in option card communicates over the backplane Drive Peripheral
Interface (DPI) to the PLC AC drive. See the block diagram below:

Section 2.3
General
Considerations
20-750sc-8U option card is suitable for use in an industrial environment when installed in
accordance with these instructions. Specifically, this equipment is intended for use in
clean, dry environments Pollution degree 22.

2.3.1 Hazardous Location Considerations

This equipment is not suitable for hazardous locations.

2.3.2 Prevent Electrostatic Discharge

WARNING Electrostatic discharge can damage integrated circuits or

semiconductors if you touch analog I/O option card bus connector
pins or the terminal block on the input option card. Follow these
guidelines when you handle the option card:
 Touch a grounded object to discharge static potential.
 Wear an approved wrist-strap grounding device.
 Do not touch the bus connector or connector pins.
 Do not touch circuit components inside the option card.
 If available, use a static-safe work station.
 When it is not in use, keep the option card in its static-
shield bag.

2.3.3 Remove Power

WARNING Remove power before removing or inserting this option card. When
you remove or insert an option card with power applied, an electrical
arc may occur. An electrical arc can cause personal injury or
property damage by:
 Sending an erroneous signal to your system’s field devices,
causing unintended machine motion.
 Causing an explosion in a hazardous environment.
 Electrical arcing causes excessive wear to contacts on both
the option card and its mating connector and may lead to
premature failure.

2
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.

 Chapter 2: Installation and Wiring 2-3

2.3.4 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 option
card. Group your option cards to minimize adverse effects from radiated electrical noise
and heat. Consider the following conditions when selecting a location for the analog
option card. Position the option card away from option cards which generate significant
radiated heat. Refer to the option card’s heat dissipation specification.
In addition, route shielded, twisted-pair analog input wiring away from any high voltage
I/O wiring, and other sources of electrical noise such as hard-contact switches, relays, and
AC motor drives.

3.3.7 Scan Time

The amount of time it takes to scan all enabled channels varies. The number of enabled
channels and the filter settings for each channel determine the total scan time.
These are documented maximum scan times per channel. To determine the total scan
time for all enabled channels, add the scan time for each filter. It is recommended to
disable unused channels to improve performance.
For 4-wire resistive measurements, the adjacent odd channel is not considered.
For 3-wire resistive measurements, the worst case time will be 2× Scan Time since the
lead wire is periodically measured from the adjacent odd channel using the same filter
frequency:
Filter Setting Per Channel Scan Time
4 Hz 505 ms
17 Hz 145 ms
60 Hz 60 ms
240 Hz 35 ms
470 Hz 30 ms

3.3.8 Input Under Range/Over Range

Software will provide input under range and over range indication to the user through
Under Range (UR)/Over Range (OR) status bits. The input value that determines Under
Range or Over Range depends on the input type. See the Data Format table in section
5.1.3 for these values.
The OR bit is set when the input value is greater than or equal to the High Range value.
This bit may also be set during an open wire condition if the OC Action parameter is set
to “Full Scale”.
The UR bit is set when the input value is less than or equal to the Low Range value. This
bit may also be set during an open wire condition if the OC Action parameter is set to
“Minimum Scale”.

3.3.10 Open Wire Indication

The module has an open-wire indication for the following inputs. When detected, the
value is set according to the OC Action parameter. Temperature ranges set to display
Fahrenheit are scaled accordingly. The input circuitry uses pull-up resistors to swing the
input to full-scale high when there is no physical connection. The detection method looks
for full-scale ADC counts directly from the ADC. Therefore it is possible to trigger an
open circuit by overdriving the inputs. The table below shows approximate trigger points.
Physically open wires are guaranteed to hit full-scale values for voltage ranges and 2/3-
wire resistive ranges. 4-wire resistive ranges can only be guaranteed to measure open
circuit when the primary measurement leads have been opened. If the source leads are
open, measurement values can be unpredictable and may not display open circuit.

Range O.C. Input Trigger

4-20 mA Inputs less than 2.0 mA
0-20 mA There is no open circuit indication for this range.
0-10 V >= 11.1 V (± 0.4 V)
0-5 V >= 11.1 V (± 0.4 V)
0-20 Ohm >= 144.4 ohms
0-150 Ohm >= 577.4 ohms
0-500 Ohm >= 1154.8 ohms
0-1000 Ohm >= 1154.8 ohms
0-3000 Ohm >= 4896.1 ohms

Using CopyCat for 20-750sc-8U
Uploads and Downloads
NOTE The behavior of the Copycat function is affected by the presence of an
Universal Analog option card. There is a known anomaly that prevents
restoring a complete drive configuration with the option card installed.
You may back up the complete drive configuration with the option card
installed. You will need to physically remove the option card, perform
the restore operation, and then re-install the option card in order for the
restore to be successful.
You will receive an error message if you try to restore a complete
configuration with the option card installed.
You may use the Copycat function to backup and restore just the option
card configuration as documented below.

A human-interface module is able to perform a CopyCat upload of the 20-750sc-8U

Module contents using your standard HIM procedure.
However, downloading a module contents to the same module, or to another module
when copying a standard configuration, has a very specific set of steps that differ from
those you may use with other add-on modules.
Use the following CopyCat procedures to upload and download a 20-750sc-8U module
contents, either to the same module, or to a different module.
These procedures switch between the locked and unlocked states at the correct step in
each set of steps.
Uploading a Configuration
from the 20-750sc-8U
1. Install the 20-750sc-8U into an available port (Port 5 for this example) of the
PowerFlex 753/755 AC Drive via CCW.
3. In the Parameters list, before you use CopyCat, set the Config. Control to
Unlocked.
4. Leave the module connected to CCW.

5. From the LCD HIM, navigate to Port 5 from the main screen.

6. Using the left and right arrows, navigate to the Memory tab.

7. Select HIM CopyCat.

8. Select CopyCat from Device to HIM. This is an upload of the configuration
from the module to the HIM. The configuration is then stored in the HIM.

9. Select New File. This is the configuration file that will be created from the
upload.

10. Select Enter to confirm and start the upload. When it is completed you receive a
confirmation popup on the LCD.

11. Now you have a configuration file stored on the HIM, so you can put in a new
20-750sc-8U module and configure the module quickly by using this CopyCat
feature.
12. Set the Config. Control to Locked to allow operation of the card.
Downloading a Configuration
to a 20-750sc-8U
1. Using CCW or the HIM, change the Config Control to Unlocked.
2. On the LCD HIM, once again navigate to the memory tab and select CopyCat.

User’s Manual Pub. 0300287-01 Rev. A

3-4 Appendix A: Using CopyCat for 20-750sc-8U Uploads and Downloads

3. Select CopyCat from HIM to Device. This is basically a download from the
LCD HIM memory to the 20-750sc-8U.

4. Select Analog I/O as the file you would like to download. This is the file that
was created when you did the upload.

5. The download starts, but is interrupted by an error text DPI Error – Object
State Conflict’. At present, you may ignore this error.The download actually
downloads correctly. Select ESC to exit out of this popup screen.
6. Once the download is completed, go back to CCW, and in the parameter list,
once again change the Config. Control to Locked.
