This Digital I/O Conversion system provides for the conversion of (1) 1771, 8 point I/O module to (1) 1756, 8 point I/O
module OR (2) 1771, 8 point I/O modules to (1) 1756, 16 point I/O module and consists of the following:
This conversion is accomplished without the removal of any field wires from the existing 1771 Swing Arms. The existing
1771 Swing Arms fit directly onto the edge connectors of the 1492 Conversion Modules. On one end of the 1492 Cables
are (1) or (2) connectors for the Conversion Modules. On the other end is the Removable Terminal Block (RTB) for the
1756 I/O module, 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 1756 I/O module per the Wiring Diagrams in Section IV. 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, Section III 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.
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.
