When this I/O module is created, what COMM FORMAT i must choose?. I know the difference between Diferential Mode, single end mode and High speed mode, but it is my first time doing this. Which one do you recomend based on your experience?, and Float, Integer, CST?.

Well. I didn't use an analog module on Control Logix yet (didn't need one so far), but I do a lot of analogs on our testing equipment. Normally I would use single ended and as current loop 4-20mA. Current loop is less suspected to noise, interference and loss due cable length. Also unless you use 0-20mA you can detect broken wire or disconnected transmitter. If you are working with small signals (mV range) or require great precision, differential setup would be better choice. panic mode
