Chapter 2

Quick Start for
Experienced Users

Section 2.1

Before You
Begin

This chapter can help you to get started using the 1769sc-IT6I Isolated
Thermocouple/mV Input Module. We base the procedures here on the assumption that
you have an understanding of Allen-Bradley controllers. You should understand
electronic process control and be able to interpret the ladder logic instructions required to
generate the electronic signals that control your application.

Because it is a start-up guide for experienced users, this chapter does not contain detailed
explanations about the procedures listed. It does, however, reference other chapters in
this book where you can get more information about applying the procedures described in
each step.

If you have any questions or are unfamiliar with the terms used or concepts presented in
the procedural steps, always read the referenced chapters and other recommended
documentation before trying to apply the information.
