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 relay 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 adapter. 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
(14 AWG). You need to connect only one wire to L+ and one wire to L-. Both L+ and
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.
Rockwell Automation Publication 1753-IN012C-EN-P - June 2010
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.

GuardPLC Relay Output Module 7
Connect Safety-related Relay Outputs
The module has eight relay outputs whose status is indicated via status indicators.
An output is in a safety state when it is de-energized. When an internal (non-communication)
fault occurs, all outputs are switched off.
Each output of the module is fitted with two safety relays with positively guided contacts and
one MSR-type relay.
Relay outputs are connected to these terminals. See the wire size and terminal torque
specifications on page 11

.
The output contacts are connected in pairs via terminal connectors (numbered terminals). The
terminal pins on the front plate of the module have the same numbering sequence to help
prevent miswiring.
For the connection of higher voltages (110/220V AC) besides SELV or PELV, suitable cables
must be used with double or reinforced insulation.
Internal non-replaceable fuses are used to limit the switching current of the relay contact circuits
to 60% of the maximum admissible AC switching current. For DC switching, the relay contact
circuits must be additionally equipped with an external fuse rated no higher than the maximum
admissible DC switching capacity.
Errors in one or more channels are indicated by the FAULT status indicator. In addition, the
system status can be evaluated in the user program.

Make Safety-related Communication Connections
The module has two 10/100BaseT, RJ45 connectors on the bottom side of the unit to provide
communication to the GuardPLC controller via GuardPLC Ethernet protocol. Because this is
an Ethernet switch, you can daisy-chain connections from the GuardPLC controller to other
distributed I/O modules. The switch is auto-detect. Use either crossover or straight-through
shielded Ethernet cabling.
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. Ring topology is not supported.
IMPORTANT
In the event of a communication fault between the GuardPLC controller and
the 1753-OW8 module, the relay outputs will be set to their initial value. The
initial value is configured during signal creation in the hardware management
window of RSLogix Guard PLUS! software.
TIP
Rockwell Automation Publication 1753-IN012C-EN-P - June 2010
The media access control (MAC) address of the module is printed on the label
positioned over both lower RJ45 connections.

Reset Push Button
The module is equipped with a reset pushbutton. 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:
Activate the reset push button using an insulated pin to prevent short-circuits.
• 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.
