Preface
This manual describes how to install, configure, and troubleshoot your
ControlLogix® isolated analog I/O module.
You must be able to program and operate a ControlLogix controller to efficiently
use your isolated analog I/O modules. If you need additional information, refer
to
Additional Resources on page 8
ControlLogix isolated analog I/O modules convert analog signals to digital
values for inputs and convert digital values to analog signals for outputs.
Controllers use these signals for control purposes.
By using the producer/consumer network model, ControlLogix isolated analog
I/O modules produce information when needed while providing additional
system functions.
Studio 5000 Environment
The Studio 5000
®
Engineering and Design Environment combines engineering
and design elements into a common environment. The first element in the
Studio 5000 environment is the Logix Designer application. The Logix Designer
application is the rebranding of RSLogix
™
5000 software and continue to be the
product to program Logix5000
™
controllers for discrete, process, batch, motion,
safety, and drive-based solutions.
The Studio 5000 environment is the foundation for the future of
Rockwell Automation® engineering design tools and capabilities. It is the one
place for design engineers to develop all the elements of their control system.
