Digital I/O Conversion Module
(Cat 1492-CM1771-LD013)
I. Description
This Digital I/O Conversion Module provides for the conversion of (1) 1771, 32 point I/O modules to be converted
to (2) 1756, 16 point I/O module and consists of the following:
(1) 1771 Module (32pt) to (2) 1756 Modules (16pt)
(1) Conversion Module: 1492-CM1771-LD013
(1) Cable: 1492-CONCAB005S3 or 1492- CONCAB005S4 (Table 2)
(1) Conversion Mounting Assembly: 1492-MUA… (Table 1)
This conversion is accomplished without the removal of any field wires from the existing 1771 Swing Arm. The
existing 1771 Swing Arm fits directly onto the edge connector of the 1492 Conversion Module. On one end of
the 1492 Cable is (1) connector for the Conversion Module. On the other end are (2) Removable Terminal
Blocks (RTBs) for the (2) 1756 I/O modules, as shown in the photo below. The I/O signals are routed through
the 1492 Conversion Module and the 1492 Cable to the appropriate terminals on the (2) 1756 I/O modules per
the Wiring Diagrams in Section V. As standard, the 1492 Cables are 0.5M long, but we also offer a 1.0M cable
length. Refer to the footnotes in Table 2 for further details.

II. Installation
The 1492 Conversion Modules must be installed in a 1492 Conversion Mounting Assembly (see Table 1 below). A
complete System Installation Manual ships with the 1492 Conversion Mounting Assembly.
1) Determine the quantity of each type of 1771 I/O modules used in the 1771 I/O Chassis to be converted.
2) Select the applicable 1492 Conversion Modules from Table 2, Section III.
3) Review the Max Slots for I/O and Chassis Width data from the Table 1 below.
4) Select a 1756 I/O Chassis which has enough I/O Slots.
NOTE: (2) I/O slots are required in the 1756 Chassis for conversions where (1) 1771 I/O module converts to (2) 1756 I/O
modules.
5) Select the 1492 Conversion Mounting Assembly which has enough Conversion Module slots.
NOTE: (2) Conversion Module slots are required in the 1492 Conversion Mounting Assembly for conversions where (2)
1771 I/O module convert to (1) 1756 I/O modules.
NOTE: The 1492 Conversion Mounting Assembly has the same Height & Width foot-print as the 1771 Chassis and is
designed to use the same mounting hardware. The combined Depth of the 1492 Conversion Mounting Assembly with the
1756 Chassis mounted on top is 10.25 inches (Controller w/key) or 10.0 inches (Controller w/o key). Dimension drawings
are included in the System Installation Manual that ships with the 1492 Conversion Mounting Assembly.

oot Notes
1771-A3B is not listed as it is used for 19 inch wide instrumentation panels.
Notice that the 1756 Chassis Width sometimes exceeds the 1771 Chassis Width, with or without the Power Supply. The
Cover-Plate of the 1492 Conversion Mounting Assembly allows the 1756 Chassis to be Left justified, Right justified or
Centered. A complete System Installation Manual ships with the 1492 Conversion Mounting Assembly.
