Using This Manual
This manual shows you how to use your block I/O with an Allen-Bradley
programmable controller. It helps you:
install your module
program your module
troubleshoot your module
You must be able to program and operate an Allen-Bradley programmable
controller (PLC) to make efficient use of block I/O modules.
We assume that you know how to do this in this manual. If you do not,
refer to the appropriate PLC programming and operations manual before
you attempt to program this module.
In this manual, we refer to:
the block I/O module as the "block" or the "module"
the programmable controller as the "controller" or "processor"
This manual is divided into eight chapters. The following chart shows each
chapter with its corresponding title and brief overview of the topics
covered in that chapter.
