Product Introduction

2–2

The Keypad Module combines the functions of standard thumbwheel or push
button devices with the built–in capabilities of a remote I/O rack.

The Keypad Module communicates directly with the programmable
controller via the Remote I/O link. You can install a 2705 module anywhere
along that link.

To the PLC, the Keypad Module looks like a hardwired remote I/O rack.
The function keys and the LED output signals are programmed as discrete
I/O in the PLC. Communication occurs through I/O image table updates.

Figure 2.1 shows a typical application.
