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 publication 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 as well as 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
non-metallic. 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, Rockwell
Automation publication 1770-4.1
• NEMA 250 and IEC 60529, as applicable, for explanations of the degrees of
protection provided by different types of enclosure.
, for additional installation requirements.
Install the Module
Follow these steps to install the module.
1. Mount the module to a DIN rail.
2. Ground the module.
3. Wire the module.
4. Make connections for safety-related communication.
This publication describes these steps in detail.

Mount the Module
GuardPLC Digital Output Module 5
IMPORTANT
For effective cooling, mount the module following these guidelines.
• Mount the module horizontally.
• Provide a gap of at least 100 mm (3.94 in.) above and below the module.
• Select a location where air flows freely or use an additional fan.
• Do not mount the module over a heating device.
The module cannot be panel-mounted. Mount the module to a DIN rail by following these
steps.
1. Hook the top slot over the DIN rail.
2. Insert a flathead screwdriver into the gap
between the housing and the latch and pull
the latch downward.
3. Hold the latch down as you push the housing
back onto the DIN rail.
4. Release the latch to lock the module onto the
rail.
TIP
To remove the module from the DIN rail, insert a flathead screwdriver into
the gap between the housing and the latch and pull the latch downward as
you lift the module off of the rail.

Ground the Module
The module is functionally grounded through its DIN rail connection. A protective earth
ground connection is required and is provided through a separate grounding screw on the upper
left of the housing and marked with the grounding symbol .
You must also 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 1770-4.1
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.

Wire the Module
The following sections describe how to connect the voltage supply and connect the inputs and
outputs.
Connect the Voltage Supply
To comply with CE Low Voltage Directives (LVD) and UL restrictions, you must use either 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 that accommodates wire sizes up to
2
2.5 mm
L- terminals are internally connected, so you can daisy-chain 24V DC power from the module to
other devices in the panel by using the remaining terminal.
(14 AWG). You need to connect only one wire to L+ and one wire to L-. Both L+ and
Protect the module with a 10 A slow-blow fuse.
ATTENTION: Do not reverse the L+ and L- terminals or damage to the module
will result. There is no reverse polarity protection.
Operating Voltage Supply
Eight channels comprise one group, with each group having its own operating voltage supply.
Both group 1 and group 2 must be connected to the voltage supply. In addition, both L-/L- and
L+1/L+1 must be connected when using group 1 and both L-/L- and L+2/L+2 must be
connected when using group 2. A jumper will suffice.
IMPORTANT
GroupSupply TerminalsOutput Channels
24V DC - 1: L-, L-, L+1, L+1 DO1: 1, 2, 3, 4 and 9, 10, 11, 12
24V DC - 2: L-, L-, L+2, L+2DO2: 5, 6, 7, 8 and 13, 14, 15, 16
The total current consumption of each group must not exceed 8 A. If the total
current exceeds 8 A, the group is shut down and then reconnected cyclically.
Rockwell Automation Publication 1753-IN005B-EN-P - June 2010
GuardPLC Digital Output Module 7
Safety-related Digital Outputs
The module has 16 digital outputs (DO1…DO16) whose status is indicated via status indicators.
An output is in a safe state when it is de-energized. If a fault occurs, all outputs are turned off.
Each of the 16 outputs can have a load of 1 A at the ambient temperature of 60 °C (140 °F) or up
to 2 A at a maximum temperature of 40 °C (104 °F). Because of heat dissipation concerns,
Rockwell Automation recommends loading only every other output at 2 A.
When an overload occurs, the overloaded outputs are turned off. When the overload is
eliminated, the outputs are activated again according to the specified value.
Although the external line of an output is not monitored, a short-circuit will be indicated.

Inductive loads can be connected without a protection diode on the load.
However, Rockwell Automation strongly recommends that a protection
diode be fitted directly to the load to suppress any interference voltage. A
1N4004 diode is recommended.

GuardPLC Digital Output Module 9
Make Connections for Safety-Related Communication
The module has two 10/100BaseT, RJ45 connectors on the bottom of the unit, that provide
communication to the GuardPLC controller via GuardPLC Ethernet protocol. Because this is
an Ethernet switch, you can daisy-chain connections from the GuardPLC module to other
distributed I/O modules. The switch is auto-detect. Either crossover or straight-through cabling
can be used. Star or line configurations are available. Make sure that a network loop is not
generated. Data packets must be able to reach a node only via a single path.
The media access control (MAC) address of the module can be found on the label positioned
over both lower RJ45 connections.
A transparent label shipped with the module can be used to note the IP address and system
ID (SRS).
IMPORTANT
If you attach the label to the module, make sure you do not cover any of the
ventilation slots.
Reset Push Button
The module is equipped with a reset push button. Reset via the push button is necessary under
the following conditions.
• You forget the password to go online via the programming software.
• You are unable to determine the IP address and SRS of the controller.
The push button is accessible through a small round hole at the top of the housing,
approximately 4…5 cm (1.6…2.0 in.) from the left rim and recessed approximately 9.5 mm
(0.375 in.).
IMPORTANT
To reset, press and hold the push button for 20 seconds while rebooting the device by cycling
power. Pressing the Reset push button 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 their default values.
The next time you cycle power, these settings will be restored to the last values stored into
nonvolatile memory. This means that either the settings prior to the reset will be restored, or if
any settings were changed after the reset, those new settings will still be in effect.
Activate the reset push button using an insulated pin to prevent short-circuits.
