Using This Manual
This manual shows you how to use your Analog Input module with an
Allen-Bradley programmable controller. It helps you install, program,
calibrate, and troubleshoot your module.
You must be able to program and operate an Allen-Bradley
programmable controller to make efficient use of your input module. In
particular, you must know how to program block transfers.
We assume that you know how to do this in this manual. If you do not,
refer to the appropriate programming and operations manual before you
attempt to program this module.
In this manual, we refer to:
- Each individual analog input module as the “input module”
- The Programmable Controller as the “controller”
