Looking for some really basic help

Hi all.

I normally have the luxury or having to fault find stuff and only have to modify others code. However I now find myself in the position to have to right a very simple program to test some applications. Using a micrologix 1100 as we have one laying around here.

This question is going to seem very simple to some but I have only ever received training on AB plc5 stuff. I need the unit to read an analog voltage.

I remember the plc5 we have to configure the AI somewhere and need to know where I can find the info for the Micro 1100. I also seem to remember it wrote the value to a file or we had to mov it or something.

Can someone point me in the direction of a tutorial or some basic info?

The setup should be in the 'I/O Configutayion' section on the left side of the programmung window. Use Google to find and download the manuals for the Micrologix 1100. It's all there.

Also ab.com/literature

The built in analog inputs on the Micrologix aren't as sophisticated as the plc5s input modules. No need to Bit Transfer Write ( I think that's what you had in mind) any configuration data to the module.
Wire your voltage signals according to the manual and you should see the immediate result at I0.4 & I0.5
If you are using expansion modules you have to include them in the controllers I/O configuration. You can adjust the settings for the individual channels there as well.

like to instruction set for the 1100. http://literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/literature/documents/rm/1763-rm001_-en-p.pdf
