Determine Module
Compatibility
Primarily, this module is used to interface to sensing devices and detect
whether they are ON or OFF and to timestamp ON and OFF transitions. The
module converts ON/OFF signals from user devices to appropriate logic level
for use in the processor. Typical input devices include:
•
auxiliary contacts
•
limit switches
When designing a system using these modules, you must consider:
•
the voltage necessary for your application
•
whether you need a solid state device
•
current leakage
•
if your application should use sinking or sourcing wiring.
For more information on compatibility of other Rockwell Automation
products to modules, see the I/O Systems Overview, publication
There are two types of features available on the module:
•
Module Features That Can Be Configured - Features that can be
adjusted to make sure the module operates as efficiently as possible in
your application (for example., input filter times)
•
Other Inherent Module Features - Features that cannot be changed but
are still crucial to module functionality (for example,
producer/consumer model).
