Environment and Enclosure
WARNI NG: 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 meters (6562 ft) without derating.
This equipment is considered Group 1, Class A industrial equipment according to IEC/CISPR
Publication 11. Without appropriate precautions, there may be potential difficulties ensuring
electromagnetic compatibility in other environments due to conducted as well as radiated
disturbance.
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 produc t safety certifications.
In addition to this publication, see the following:
• Industrial Automation Wiring and Grounding Guidelines, Allen-Bradley® publication 1770-4.1,
for additional installation requirements
• NEMA Standards publication 250 and IEC publication 60529, as applicable, for explanations of
the degrees of protection provided by different types of enclosure

Prevent Electrostatic Discharge
WARNI NG: 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 wrist-strap.
• 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.

IMPORTANT
Verify Compatibility
The series B controllers are compatible only with the controller firmware and the RSLogix 5000
software versions as indicated in the table below.
Attempti ng to use controllers with incompatibl e software and firmware revisions can result in
the following:
• An inability to connect to the series B controller in RSLogix 5000 software
• Unsuccessful firmware upgrades in ControlFLASH™ or AutoFlash utilities
This table shows the compatible pairs of RSLogix 5000 software versions and controller
firmware revisions.

Before You Begin
This section contains information you should understand before installing the CompactLogix
packaged controller.
Restrictions
The maximum amount of expansion modules that can be used with the packaged controllers is
two. Within that limit, the number of expansion I/O modules that can be attached to the
packaged controller depends on the bus current draw of the modules being attached.
Each packaged controller has a specified amount of available bus current as shown in this table.
Packaged Controller Bus Current and Expansion Module Limits
Cat. No. Total Available 5V DC Bus Current
1769-L23E-QB1B 1 A (1000 mA)
1769-L23E-QBFC1B 450 mA
1769-L23-QBFC1B 800 mA
To determine the number of expansion I/O modules you can add, total the bus current draw
(maximum) of your planned expansion I/O modules and the end cap. If your result is less than
Rockwell Automation Publication 1769-IN082C-EN-P - February 2013
Compac tLogix Controller 7
the packaged controller’s maximum available bus current, you are within the expansion I/O limit
of your packaged controller.
Example of Expansion I/O Calculation
In this example, these expansion I/O modules and bus current draws are planned for use with the
1769-L23E-QBFC1B packaged controller.
Planned Expansion I/O Module Bus Current Draw, max
1769-OV16 Sink Output Module 200 mA
1769-IF4 Analog Input Module 105 mA
1769-ECR End Cap 5 mA
Total Bus Current Draw 310 mA
(1) The maximum bus current draw specification for each Compact I/O™ module is available in the Compact I/ O Selection Guide, publication
. This publication also provides further explanation of and a table for the calculation of Compact I/O power supply requirements.
1769-SG002
(1)
The total bus current draw of the Compact I/O modules (310 mA) is less than the total available
bus current of the packaged controller (450 mA). These planned expansion I/O modules are
within the limits of the 1769-L23E-QBFC1B packaged controller.

Minimum Spacing Requirements
When using any of the CompactLogix packaged controllers, maintain spacing from enclosure
walls, wireways, and adjacent equipment. Allow 50 mm (1.97 in.) of space on all sides, as shown.
This provides ventilation and electrical isolation.
Install the Battery
Complete these steps to install the battery on your packaged controller.
WARNI NG: When you connect or disconnect the battery an electrical arc can occur. This could
cause an explosion in hazardous location installations. Be sure that the area is nonhazardous
before proceeding.
For Safety information on the handling of lithium batteries, including handling and disposal of
leaking batteries, see Guidelines for Handling Lithium Batteries, publication AG 5-4.
1. Open the battery door on the left side of the packaged controller.
2. Carefully attach the battery connector to the port located inside the packaged controller.
3. Insert the battery, wires down, in the slot on the battery door.
Rockwell Automation Publication 1769-IN082C-EN-P - February 2013

4. Close the battery door.
Connect Expansion Modules (optional)
If using expansion modules with your packaged controller, complete these steps to attach the
modules.
1. Remove the end cap by unlocking it and sliding it forward.
2. Align the tongue-and-groove slots of the expansion module with those on the right end
of the packaged controller.
3. Slide the module onto the packaged controller.

14 CompactLogix Controller
Panel Mount the System
To mount your system to a panel, complete these steps.
1. Using the assembled system as a template, carefully mark the center of all mounting holes
on the panel.
2. Remove the system and drill and tap the mounting holes for the recommended M4 or #8
screws.
3. Place the grounding panel (if used) and CompactLogix system on the panel to check for
proper hole alignment.
4. Insert the recommended screws into the mounting tabs on the packaged controller and
expansion modules (if used) and tighten.
DIN-rail Mount the System
To mount your system on a DIN rail, complete these steps.
The packaged controller can be mounted on these DIN rails:
• EN 50 022 - 35 x 7.5 mm (1.38 x 0.30 in.)
• EN 50 022 - 35 x 15 mm (1.38 x 0.59 in.)
ATTENTION: When 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.
