To Our Customers
Preface
2
A symbol or word in brackets represents a single key you would press.
These include keys such as [ENTER], [SHIFT], or [ ].
Spaces would be entered as shown, except that the space preceding and
following the brackets is not an entered space. (We put a space before
the left bracket and after the right bracket to make it easier to read).
Numbers and capital letters not in brackets would be entered as shown.
Punctuation such as commas, and symbols such as / would be entered
as shown.
For example, typical data and a typical command that you would enter on
the industrial terminal keyboard are as follows:
Enter: ALLEN 123/AB[ENTER] (data)
Enter: DD,O3:0,[SHIFT]%A[ENTER] (PLC-3 command)
We have included numerous examples of CRT displays resulting from
data or commands that you enter. All CRT displays are shown with a
shaded background. Enter all commands on the industrial terminal
keyboard. The only exception is for some PLC-3 entries where we tell
you to use the PLC-3 front panel.
Read chapters 1 and 2 before proceeding to other chapters of this manual
that pertain to your needs. For example, you may want to use only
selected module features (chapter 3) and read only selected bit
descriptions (chapter 5).
We have developed forms to assist you in selecting module features and in
troubleshooting. Make a copy of each of the following and refer to them
as needed.
