Chapter 2
Quick Start for
Experienced Users
This chapter can help you to get started using the 1769sc-IR6I Isolated RTD/Resistance
Input Module. We base the procedures here on the assumption that you have an
understanding of Allen-Bradley controllers. You should understand electronic process
control and be able to interpret the ladder logic instructions required to generate 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 information about applying the procedures described in
each step.
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.
Have the following tools and equipment ready:
•
Medium blade or cross-head screwdriver
•
RTD or direct resistance input device
•
shielded, twisted-pair cable for wiring (Belden™ 9501 or equivalent)
•
Controller (for example, a MicroLogix™ 1500 or CompactLogix™ controller)
•
Programming device and software (for example, RSLogix 500™ or RSLogix
5000™)
