Required Tools and
Equipment

Quick Start for Experienced Users

This chapter helps you to get started using the RIO Scanner. We
base the procedures here on the assumption that you have a basic
understanding of SLC 500 products.
You must:
understand electronic process control
be able to interpret the ladder logic instructions for generating 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 detailed information. It also references other
documentation that may be helpful if you are unfamiliar with
programming techniques or system installation requirements.
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.
This chapter:
tells you what tools and equipment you need
lists preliminary considerations
describes when to address, configure and program the module
explains how to install and wire the module
discusses system power-up procedures
Have the following tools and equipment ready:
