This manual will show you how to select
and install analog input and analog
output modules. It also shows several
ways to use the analog data in your PLC
program. If you understand the DL405
instruction set and system setup
requirements, this manual will provide
the information you need to install and
use the analog modules. This manual is
not intended to be a tutorial on analog
signal theory, but rather a user reference
manual for the DL405 Analog I/O
modules.
You may also want to have a copy of the
DL405 User Manual (D4–USER–M) at
hand when you are working with the
analog modules. The DL405 User
Manual is not absolutely necessary, but
it does provide detailed descriptions of
the instructions used to acquire the
analog data. The User Manual also
provides a more thorough description of
how the I/O points are assigned to the
module. Now, you have the material
necessary to quickly understand the
DL405 Analog I/O modules. So, let's get
started!
