(outside USA/Canada)
Identify the Module Components
You received the following components with your order:
• 1756-OB16D module
• Removable Terminal Block (RTB) door label
If you did not receive these components, contact your Rockwell
Automation sales office.
This module mounts in a ControlLogix chassis and uses a
separately-ordered RTB or a Bulletin 1492 Interface Module (IFM) to
connect all field-side wiring.
This module uses one of the following RTBs:
• 1756-TBCH 36 position Cage clamp RTB
• 1756-TBS6H 36 position Spring clamp RTB
Use an extended-depth cover (1756-TBE) for applications with heavy
gauge wiring or requiring additional routing space. When using an
IFM, consult the documentation that came with it to connect
all wiring.
IMPORTANT
Before you install your module, you should
have already:
• installed and grounded a 1756 chassis and
power supply.
• ordered and received an RTB or IFM and its
components for your application.

Prevent Electrostatic Discharge
Electrostatic discharge can damage integrated circuits or
ATTENTION
semiconductors if you touch backplane connector pins.
Follow these guidelines when you handle the module:
• Touch a grounded object to discharge
static potential.
!
• Wear an approved wrist-strap grounding device.
• Do not touch the backplane connector or connector
pins.
• Do not touch circuit components inside the module.
• If available, use a static-safe work station.
• When not in use, keep the module in its static-shield
box.
Removal and Insertion Under Power (RIUP)
This module is designed so you can remove and insert it
WARNING
!
under backplane power and field-side power. When you
remove or insert a module while field-side power is
applied, you may cause an electrical arc. An electrical
arc can cause personal injury or property damage
because it may:
• send an erroneous signal to your system’s field
devices, causing unintended machine motion or loss
of process control.
• cause an explosion in a hazardous environment.
Repeated electrical arcing causes excessive wear to
contacts on both the module and its mating connector.
Worn contacts may create electrical resistance.
When you insert or remove the module while backplane
power is on, or you connect or disconnect the RTB with
field-side power applied, an electrical arc can occur. This
could cause an explosion in hazardous location
installations. Be sure that power is removed or the area is
non-hazardous before proceeding.

ControlLogix DC (19.2-30V) Diagnostic Output Module 5
Note the Power Requirements
This module receives power from the 1756 chasis power supply and
requires 2 sources of power from the backplane:
• 250mA at 5.1V dc
• 140mA at 24V dc
Add this current/power value (4.64W) to the requirements of all other
modules in the chassis to prevent overloading the power supply.

Install the Removable Terminal Block onto the Module
The RTB is designed to support Removal and Insertion
Under Power (RIUP). However, when you remove or
insert an RTB with field-side power applied, unintended
machine motion or loss of process control can
occur. Exercise extreme caution when using this feature.
It is recommended that field-side power be removed
before installing the RTB onto the module.
When you remove or insert a module while field-side
power is applied, you may cause an electrical arc. An
electrical arc can cause personal injury or property
damage because it may:
• send an erroneous signal to your system’s field
devices, causing unintended machine motion or loss
of process control.
• cause an explosion in a hazardous environment.
Publication 1756-IN058D-EN-P - October 2000
Repeated electrical arcing causes excessive wear to
contacts on both the module and its mating connector.
Worn contacts may create electrical resistance.
When you insert or remove the module while backplane
power is on, or you connect or disconnect the RTB with
field-side power applied, an electrical arc can occur. This
could cause an explosion in hazardous location
installations. Be sure that power is removed or the area is
non-hazardous before proceeding.

Remove the Removable Terminal Block from the Module
WARNING
!
Shock hazard exists. If the RTB is removed from
the module while the field-side power is applied,
the module will be electrically live. Do not touch
the RTB’s terminals. Failure to observe this caution
may cause personal injury.
The RTB is designed to support Removal and
Insertion Under Power (RIUP). However, when
you remove or insert an RTB with field-side power
applied, unintended machine motion or loss of process control can occur. Exercise extreme
caution when using this feature. It is
recommended that field-side power be removed
before removing the module.
When you insert or remove the module while
backplane power is on, or you connect or
disconnect the RTB with field-side power applied,
an electrical arc can occur. This could cause an
explosion in hazardous location installations. Be
sure that power is removed or the area is
non-hazardous before proceeding.
Before removing the module, you must remove the RTB.
1. Unlock the locking tab at the
top of the module.
