Preface

Using this Manual

Purpose of this Manual

This manual shows you how to use your FLEX I/O Isolated Analog
modules with Allen-Bradley programmable controllers. The manual
helps you install, program and troubleshoot your modules.

Except where noted, information that applies to 1794-IF4I, 1794-OF4I,
and IF2XOF2I also applies to 1794-IF4IXT, 1794-IF4ICFXT,
1794-OF4IXT, and IF2XOF2IXT.

Audience

You must be able to program and operate an Allen-Bradley
programmable controller to make efficient use of your FLEX I/O
modules. In particular, you must know how to program block
transfers.

We assume that you know how to do this in this manual. If you do
not, refer to the appropriate programming and operations manual
before you attempt to program your modules.

Vocabulary

In this manual, we refer to:

the isolated analog input or isolated analog output module as
the “input module” or ‘‘output module”

the Programmable Controller as the “controller”
