Important User Information

Solid-state equipment has operational characteristics differing from those of electromechanical equipment. Safety Guidelines for the Application, Installation and Maintenance of Solid State Controls (Publication SGI-1.1 available from your local Rockwell Automation sales office or online at http://www.rockwellautomation.com/literature/) describes some important differences between solid-state equipment and hard-wired electromechanical devices. Because of this difference, and also because of the wide variety of uses for solid-state equipment, all persons responsible for applying this equipment must satisfy themselves that each intended application of this equipment is acceptable.

In no event will Rockwell Automation, Inc. be responsible or liable for indirect or consequential damages resulting from the use or application of this equipment.

POINT I/O Output Module 3

Environment and Enclosure

ATTENTION: This equipment is intended for use in a Pollution Degree 2 industrial environment, in overvoltage Category II applications (as defined in IEC 60664-1), at altitudes up to 2000 m (6562 ft) without derating.

This equipment is considered Group 1, Class A industrial equipment according to IEC/CISPR 11. Without appropriate precautions, there may be difficulties with electromagnetic compatibility in residential and other environments due to conducted and radiated disturbances.

This equipment is supplied as open-type equipment. It must be mounted within an enclosure that is suitably designed for those specific environmental conditions that will be present and appropriately designed to prevent personal injury resulting from accessibility to live parts. The enclosure must have suitable flame-retardant properties to prevent or minimize the spread of flame, complying with a flame spread rating of 5VA, V2, V1, V0 (or equivalent) if nonmetallic. The interior of the enclosure must be accessible only by the use of a tool. Subsequent sections of this publication may contain additional information regarding specific enclosure type ratings that are required to comply with certain product safety certifications.

In addition to this publication, see:

•Industrial Automation Wiring and Grounding Guidelines, publication 1770-IN041, for additional installation requirements.

•NEMA Standard 250 and IEC 60529, as applicable, for explanations of the degrees of protection provided by enclosures.

Preventing Electrostatic Discharge

ATTENTION: This equipment is sensitive to electrostatic discharge, which can cause internal damage and affect normal operation. Follow these guidelines when you handle this equipment:

•Touch a grounded object to discharge potential static.

•Wear an approved grounding wriststrap.

•Do not touch connectors or pins on component boards.

•Do not touch circuit components inside the equipment.

•Use a static-safe workstation, if available.

•Store the equipment in appropriate static-safe packaging when not in use.

POINT I/O Output Module 7

Install the Mounting Base

To install the mounting base on the DIN rail, proceed as follows:

ATTENTION: This product is grounded through the DIN rail to chassis ground. Use zinc plated yellow-chromate steel DIN rail to assure proper grounding. The use of other DIN rail materials (for example, aluminum or plastic) that can corrode, oxidize, or are poor conductors, can result in improper or intermittent grounding. Secure DIN rail to mounting surface approximately every 200 mm (7.8 in.) and use end-anchors appropriately.

1.Position the mounting base vertically above the installed units (adapter, power supply or existing module).

2.Slide the mounting base down allowing the interlocking side pieces to engage the adjacent module or adapter.

3.Press firmly to seat the mounting base on the DIN rail. The mounting base snaps into place.

4.To remove the mounting base from the DIN rail, remove the module and use a small bladed screwdriver to rotate the base locking screw to a vertical position. This releases the locking mechanism. Then lift straight up to remove.

8 POINT I/O Output Module

Install the Module

The module can be installed before or after base installation. Make sure that the mounting base is correctly keyed before installing the module into the mounting base. In addition, make sure the mounting base locking screw is positioned horizontal referenced to the base.

WARNING: When you insert or remove the module while backplane power is on, an electrical arc can occur. This could cause an explosion in hazardous location installations.

Be sure that power is removed or the area is nonhazardous before proceeding. Repeated electrical arcing causes excessive wear to contacts on both the module and its mating connector. Worn contacts may create electrical resistance that can affect module operation.

1.Using a bladed screwdriver, rotate the keyswitch on the mounting base clockwise until the number required for the type of module being installed aligns with the notch in the base.

2.Make certain the DIN rail locking screw is in the horizontal position. You cannot insert the module if the locking mechanism is unlocked.

3.Insert the module straight down into the mounting base.

4.Press to secure. The module locks into place.

ATTENTION: Do not remove or replace an Adapter Module while power is applied. Interruption of the backplane can result in unintentional operation or machine motion.
