Check Input Wiring
Activate input devices such as sensors and switches and verify that the corresponding
indicators on the Input Units light. Also, use the Bit/Word Monitor
operation in the Programming Device to verify the operation of the corresponding
input bits.

Make any required Auxiliary Area settings, such as the ones shown below.
These settings can be made from a Programming Device (including a Programming
