Configuration Using
RSLogix 500 Version 5.50 or
Higher

This example takes you through configuring your 1762-IT4
thermocouple/mV input module with RSLogix 500 programming
software, assumes your module is installed as expansion I/O in a
MicroLogix 1200 system, and that RSLinx™ is properly configured and
a communications link has been established between the MicroLogix
processor and RSLogix 500.
