ATTENTION
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
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, for additional
• NEMA Standards 250 and IEC 60529, as applicable, for explanations of
the degrees of protection provided by different types of enclosure.
To comply with the CE Low Voltage Directive (LVD), all connections to this
equipment must be powered from a source compliant with safety extra low
voltage (SELV) or protected extra low voltage (PELV).

Before You Begin
Before you install the linking device, read and complete the following
sections.
WARNING
This product contains a ControlNet daughtercard (CAM) that is not intended for
removal. Any attempt to remove this CAM or to operate the CAM release
mechanism may cause irreparable damage. If you insert or remove the CAM
while host 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.
Software Requirements
The following software is compatible with this revision of the linking device:
• RSFieldbus software, version 2.03 or later
• RSLinx Classic software, version 2.52 or later
• RSNetWorx for ControlNet software, version 8.00 or later
• Logix5000 Clock Update tool
• RSLogix 5000 programming software, version 16.03 or later
IMPORTANT
You must upgrade your linking device to RSLogix 5000 programming
software version 17 to program unscheduled Class 1 connections on the
ControlNet network. The upgrade is required if your system is running
RSLogix 5000 software version 16 without redundancy. If you are using
RSLogix 5000 software version 16 with redundancy, unscheduled Class 1
connections are not available on the ControlNet network.

WARNING
Use a small screwdriver to set the module’s ControlNet node address
switches.
Example shows ControlNet node
address switches set to 15.
TIP
When you change switch settings while power is on, an electrical arc can
occur. This could cause an explosion in hazardous location installations.

Install the Linking Device
Install the linking device by using the following instructions.
Mount the Linking Device
Most applications require installation in an industrial enclosure (Pollution
Degree 2) to reduce the effects of electrical interference (Over Voltage
Category II) and environmental exposure. Locate your linking device as far as
possible from power lines, load lines, and other sources of electrical noise
such as hard-contact switches, relays, and AC motor drives. For more
information on proper grounding guidelines, see the Industrial Automation
Wiring and Grounding Guidelines, publication 1770-4.1
.
ATTENTION
We do not recommend vertical mounting due to heat build-up considerations.
Be careful of metal chips when drilling mounting holes for your linking device
or other equipment within the enclosure or panel. Drilled fragments that fall
into the unit could cause damage.

Mount on a DIN Rail
The linking device DIN-rail latch locks in the open position so that the
linking device can be easily attached to or removed from the DIN rail. The
maximum extension of the latch is 15 mm (0.67 in.) in the open position. You
need a screwdriver to remove the linking device. The linking device can be
mounted to 35 x 7.5 or 35 x 15 DIN rails (EN 50 022). See page 12
for DIN-rail mounting dimensions.
ATTENTION
Publication
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 the mounting surface approximately every
200 mm (7.8 in.) and use end-anchors appropriately.
