IMPORTANT
To achieve SIL 2 with 1715 I/O modules in a ControlLogix® system,
you must use these Add-On Instructions. The SIL 2 Add-On
Instructions verify the validity of data that is transferred between
the ControlLogix controller and the 1715 modules via the 1715-AENTR
adapter. See

As you proceed with this chapter, be aware that when using the 1715
SIL 2 Add-On Instructions, you do not read inputs directly from the
input table, nor do you write directly to the output tags. You read
inputs from an Add-On Instruction tag that is called ‘reconciled
input data,’ and write outputs to an Add-On Instruction tag called
‘requested output data.’
There is an Add-On Instruction that is required for the 1715-AENTR
adapter, as well. The status data from the 1715-AENTR adapter must
be validated by using this Add-On Instruction.
You cannot view the logic of each Add-On Instruction because it is
source protected.
