Using This Manual
This manual shows you how to use your RTD 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 (PLC) to make efficient use of your input 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 RTD input module as the “input module”
The Programmable Controller, as the “controller.”
This manual is divided into eight chapters. The following chart shows each
