Quick Start for Experienced Users
This chapter can help you to get started using analog. The procedures
are based on the assumption that you have an understanding of SLC
500 products. 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.
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.
