Using This Manual
This manual shows you how to use your Isolated Analog Input module
with an Allen-Bradley programmable controller. It helps you install,
program, calibrate, and troubleshoot your module.
You must be able to program and operate an Allen-Bradley programmable
controller to make efficient use of your input 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 for your
programmable controller before you attempt to program this module.
In this manual, we refer to:
- the 1771-IL series B analog input module as the “input module,” or
the “1771-IL/B”
- the Programmable Controller as the “controller”
