Quick Start for Experienced Users
Before You Begin
This chapter can help you to get started using the 1769-SDN scanner
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.
