Quick Start for Experienced Users
Before You Begin This chapter can help you to get started using the 1769-IR6 module. We base
the procedures here on the assumption that you have an understanding of
Allen-Bradley controllers. 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 about
applying the procedures described in each step.
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.
