Using 1715 Analog I/O Module Features
1715 Analog Module 
Overview
The 1715 analog I/O modules mount in a 1715 Redundant I/O System and use an 
I/O termination assembly that is mounted in an I/O base unit to communicate 
via redundant 1715 adapters.
Before you install and use your module, you must do the following:
• Install and ground a user-supplied, 24V DC power supply. 
• Determine whether you are using your analog I/O module in Simplex or 
Duplex mode.
• Install the correct termination assembly that is based on your 
determination for either simplex or duplex operation.
Each analog I/O module is an isolated module that plugs into one position of 
the I/O base unit and a termination assembly that is mounted to the base unit. 
Analog I/O modules can be configured in Logix Designer programming 
software as simplex (not redundant) or duplex (redundant).
Termination assemblies provide termination for the field I/O channels and, by 
the use of coding pegs and sockets, are matched to a specific analog I/O 
module. Module keying can also be set in the RSLogix 5000® or Logix Designer 
project. Field connections are made at the terminal block connectors on the 
termination assembly.
The analog I/O modules and termination assemblies for the 1715 Redundant 
I/O System are as follows.
