Using This Manual
This manual shows you how to use your FLEX I/O pulse counter
module with Allen-Bradley programmable controllers. The manual
helps you install, program and troubleshoot your module.
You must be able to program and operate an Allen-Bradley
programmable controller to make efficient use of your FLEX I/O
module. 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.
In this manual, we refer to:
– the pulse counter module as the “input module”
– the Programmable Controller as the “controller”
This manual is divided into seven chapters. The following chart lists
each chapter with its corresponding title and a brief overview of the
topics covered in that chapter.
