Quick Start for Experienced Users
This chapter can help you to get started using the 1746-NI16 analog
input module. The procedures here are based on the assumption that
the user has an understanding of SLC 500™ products. The user should
understand electronic process control and be able to interpret the
ladder logic instructions required to generate the electronic signals
that control the application.
Because this chapter 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. It also references other documentation that
may be helpful if you are unfamiliar with programming techniques or
system installation requirements.
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.
