GuardPLC 1753-IF8XOF4 Analog I/O Module 7
Wire the Module
Ground the Module
You must provide an acceptable grounding path for each device in your
application. For more information on proper grounding guidelines, refer to the
Industrial Automation Wiring and Grounding Guidelines, publication number
1770-4.1.
The I/O module is functionally grounded through its DIN rail connection. A
protective earth ground connection is required and is provided by a separate
grounding screw, located on the upper left of the housing and marked with the
grounding symbol .
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 (e.g. aluminum,
plastic, etc.) that can corrode, oxidize, or are poor conductors,
can result in improper or intermittent grounding.
Connections for Safety-Related Communications
Ethernet Switch
The module has two 10/100BaseT, RJ-45 connectors, located on the bottom of the
unit, that provide communications to the GuardPLC controller via GuardPLC
Ethernet. Because this is an Ethernet switch, you can daisy-chain connections from
the GuardPLC to other distributed I/O blocks. The switch is auto-detect. Either
cross-over or straight-through shielded Ethernet cabling can be used.
Star or line configurations are available. Make sure that a network loop is not
generated. Data packets must only be able to reach a node via a single path. Ring
topology is not supported.
MAC Address
The Media Access Control (MAC) Address of the module can be found on the label
positioned over both lower RJ-45 connections.

Connect the Voltage Supply
The 24V dc voltage supply must feature galvanic isolation (in accordance with EN
60950 or UL 1950) since inputs and outputs are not electrically isolated from the
internal processor. In order to comply with CE Low Voltage Directives (LVD), you
must use either a NEC Class 2, a Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) or a Protected
Extra Low Voltage (PELV) power supply to power this module. A SELV supply
cannot exceed 30V rms, 42.4V peak or 60V dc under normal conditions and under
single fault conditions. A PELV supply has the same rating and is connected to
protected earth.
IMPORTANT
The supply voltage is connected via a 4-pin connector.. You only need to connect
one wire to L+ and one wire to L-. Both L+ and L- terminals are internally
connected, so you can daisy-chain 24V dc power from the GuardPLC to other
devices in the panel using the remaining terminal. See the wire size and terminal
torque specifications on page 16
ATTENTION
Protect the module with a 10 A slow-blow fuse.
Do not reverse the L+ and L- terminals or damage to the module
will result. There is no reverse polarity protection.
Safety Analog Inputs
The module has 8 analog inputs with sensor supplies for the unipolar measurement
of voltages from 0 to 10V. A 10 kΩ shunt is used for single-ended voltage signals.
With a 500 Ω shunt resistor, currents from 0 to 20 mA can also be measured.
Publication 1753-IN013A-EN-P - September 2005
GuardPLC 1753-IF8XOF4 Analog I/O Module 9
Analog cabling should be no more than 300 m (984 ft) in length and must be
shielded, twisted-pair cables for each measurement input. The shields must be
connected at one end.
IMPORTANT
Short-circuit unused input channels to the reference pole by
connecting wire jumpers.

Voltage Measurment
If an open-circuit fault occurs during voltage measurement, unpredictable input
signals are received on the high resistance inputs. Values resulting from this
fluctuating input voltage are not reliable. Because the module does not feature
circuit monitoring, you must terminate input channels with a 10 kΩ resistor when
measuring voltage. Consider the internal resistance of the source as well.
Current Measurement
To measure current, connect a 500 Ω external shunt in parallel to the input.
Accuracy of the shunt must be included in accuracy calculations of the input signal.
Terminating resistors are not required for current measurement with the external
shunt connected in parallel.

Connect the Wires
See the wire size and terminal block torque specifications on page 16. The cables
are connected to the front plate of the module using pluggable terminals. Shielded
cabling is fed in from below so that the shielding can be connected to the shield
contact plate using a clip. Remove about 2 cm (3/4 in) of the outer cable insulation
so that the mesh is exposed at the point where the cable is clipped to the plate.

You can use the reset button if you forget the password for connecting the
programming software. The pushbutton is accessible through a small round hole at
the top of the housing, approximately 4 to 5 cm (1.6 to 2.0 in.) from the left rim and
recessed approximately 9.5 mm (0.375 in.).
IMPORTANT
To reset, press and hold the pushbutton for 20 seconds while rebooting the device
by cycling power. Pressing the Reset pushbutton during operation has no affect.
With activation of the reset button:
• All accounts are deleted except for the default account.
• IP address and system ID (SRS) are set to default values.
At the next power cycle, these settings will be restored to the last values stored into
Flash. This means that either:
• the settings prior to the reset will be restored, or
• if any settings were changed after the reset, these new settings will still be in
effect.
Activate the reset pushbutton using an insulated pin to prevent
short-circuits.
