Using this Manual
This manual shows you how to use your high resolution isolated
analog series input/output modules with an Allen-Bradley
programmable controller. It helps you install, program, calibrate, and
troubleshoot your modules.
You must be able to program and operate an Allen-Bradley
programmable controller (PLC) to make efficient use of your analog
module. In particular, you must know how to program block transfer
instructions.
We assume that you know how to do this in this manual. If you do
not, refer to the appropriate PLC programming and operations
manual before you attempt to program this module.
In this manual, we refer to:
• the individual module as the “module.”
• the programmable controller, as the “controller” or the
“processor.”
This manual is divided into seven chapters. The following chart
shows each chapter with its corresponding title and a brief overview
of the topics covered in that chapter.
