Installing the Analog Input Module

This chapter gives you information on:

choosing an external power supply
wiring the input module’s field wiring arm
keying a chassis slot for your module
setting internal configuration switches
installing the input module

The input module is shipped to you configured for block transfer
operation. If you want to use single transfer, see Appendix C for proper
switch settings.

Before installing your input module in the I/O chassis you should:

1.

Calculate the power requirements of all modules in each chassis. See
“Power Requirements.”

2.

Determine where to place the module in the I/O chassis. See
“Module Location in the I/O Chassis.”

3.

Key the backplane connector in the I/O chassis. See “Keying.”

4.

Make connections to the wiring arm. See “Wiring” and
“Grounding.”

5.

Set configuration switches (only if you want single transfer, or to
change to the alternate input range).

Electrostatic discharge can damage semiconductor devices inside this
module if you touch backplane connector pins, or when you set
configuration plugs or switches inside the module. Guard against
electrostatic damage by observing the following precautions:
