Calibration Instrumentation Specifications

When you calibrate the analog input modules, send current or voltage reference signals to the module to calibrate it. To maintain your module's factory calibration accuracy, use the instrumentation with the specifications listed in the following table.
IMPORTANT: Do not calibrate your module with an instrument that is less accurate than those specified in following table. The following events can result:
  • Calibration appears to occur normally but the module gives inaccurate data during operation.
  • A calibration fault occurs, forcing you to abort calibration. When this happens, I.Chxx.CalFault tag is set for the channel you attempted to calibrate. You can clear this tag by completing a valid calibration or cycling power to the module.
