Environment and Enclosure

WARNING: 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 product 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

WARNING: 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.

Verify Compatibility

IMPORTANT The series B controllers are compatible only with the controller firmware and the RSLogix 5000 software versions as indicated in the table below.

Attempting to use controllers with incompatible 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.

		Controller	RSLogix 5000 Software Version or Later	Controller Firmware Revision or Later
		1769-L23E-QB1B,	16.00.00	16.023
		1769-L23E-QBFC1B,
			17.01.02	17.012

			20.01.00	20.013

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

CompactLogix 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(1)
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 1769-SG002. This publication also provides further explanation of and a table for the calculation of Compact I/O power supply requirements.

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.

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.
