8 Quick Start

Procedures

Follow these steps to get your module running in your SLC system.

1. Plan the inclusion of analog I/O modules in your SLC system.

If a new system, specify the type of processor, number of I/O

racks, I/O modules, and power supply. If adding to an existing

system:

• assign modules to slot locations in the I/O rack.

• verify that the power supply for the I/O rack can handle the

increased load.

See SLC 500 Systems Selection Guide, publication 1747-SG001,

for more information.

2. Configure module input channels for current or voltage

operation.

Locate the 2-switch assembly on the module’s circuit board, and

set each channel as follows.

3. Connect I/O devices with cables.

Refer to Install and Wire the Modules on page 11.

IMPORTANT

• Connect only one end of the cable shield to earth ground.

• Channels are not isolated from each other. All analog commons are

connected together internally.

• The module does not provide loop power for analog inputs.

• Use a power supply that matches the transmitter (sensor)

specifications.

Current (ON)

Voltage (OFF)

Switch 1 = Channel 0
