Arbitrary Controller Used in this Manual

In the following procedures, we have arbitrarily assumed that the controller you are
configuring in your processor file is a modular demo unit including the following
components:

Chassis 1746-A4, 4-slot chassis

Processor 1747-L524 in slot 0

Input module 1746-IA4 in slot 1

Input module 1746-IA8 in slot 2

Output module 1746-OA8 in slot 3

The ladder program shown on page 3–10 contains I/O addresses that are consistent
with the configuration indicated above. If you are using some other controller
configuration, keep in mind that these addresses may not be valid for your
controller.

processor file, you will:
