Preface
Publication 1794Ć6.5.2 - May 1996
Using This Manual
This manual shows you how to use your FLEX I/O Analog modules
with Allen-Bradley programmable controllers. The manual helps you
install, program and troubleshoot your modules.
You must be able to program and operate an Allen-Bradley
programmable controller to make efficient use of your FLEX I/O
modules. 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 your modules.
In this manual, we refer to:
– the analog input or analog output module as the “input
module” or ‘‘output module”
– the Programmable Controller as the “controller”
This manual is divided into five chapters. The following chart lists
each chapter with its corresponding title and a brief overview of the
topics covered in that chapter.
