Using This Manual
This manual shows you how to use your 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
before you attempt to program this module.
In this manual, we refer to:
•
The analog input module as the “input module” or the
“module”
•
The programmable controller as the “controller”
This manual is divided into seven chapters. The following chart
