Module Configuration, Output, and Input Data
After installing the 1769-HSC module, you must configure it for operation by
using the programming software compatible with the controller, such as
RSLogix 500 or RSLogix 5000 software.
Information on programming the module by using specific controllers and
software is contained in the following appendices.
The table describes the topics in this chapter.
Configure the Module
The module uses three arrays: configuration array, output array, and input array.
You configure the module by establishing settings in the configuration and
output arrays. The input array shows the data that the module sends to the
controller.
TIP
Normal counter configuration is done using programming software. In
that case, it is not necessary to know the meaning of the bit location.
However, some systems let the control program change configuration.

IMPORTANT
Both the configuration array and output array settings affect the module
configuration. Changing certain configuration parameters from defaults
can necessitate changing other values to avoid configuration errors.
