Remove Power
ATTENTION
!
Electrostatic discharge can damage integrated circuits or
semiconductors if you touch bus connector pins. Follow these
guidelines when you handle the module:
• Touch a grounded object to discharge static potential.
• Wear an approved wrist-strap grounding device.
• Do not touch the bus connector or connector pins.
• Do not touch circuit components inside the module.
• If available, use a static-safe work station.
• When not in use, keep the module in its static-shield box.
Remove power before removing or inserting this module. When
you remove or insert a module with power applied, an
electrical arc may occur. An electrical arc can cause personal
injury or property damage by:
• sending an erroneous signal to your system’s field devices,
causing unintended machine motion
• causing an explosion in a hazardous environment
Electrical arcing causes excessive wear to contacts on both the
module and its mating connector. Worn contacts may create
electrical resistance.
(1) Pollution Degree 2 is an environment where, normally, only non-conductive pollution occurs except that occasionally a
temporary conductivity caused by condensation shall be expected.
(2) Over Voltage Category II is the load level section of the electrical distribution system. At this level transient voltages are
controlled and do not exceed the impulse voltage capability of the product’s insulation.
(3) Pollution Degree 2 and Over Voltage Category II are International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) designations.
The module can be attached to the controller or an adjacent I/O module before or
after mounting. For mounting instructions, see "Panel Mounting" on page 6, or "DIN
Rail Mounting" on page 7. To work with a system that is already mounted, see
"Replacing a Single Module within a System" on page 7.
The following procedure shows you how to assemble the Compact I/O system.

1. Disconnect power.
2. Check that the bus lever of the module to be installed is in the unlocked
(fully right) position.
3. Use the upper and lower tongue-and-groove slots (1) to secure the modules
together (or to a controller).
4. Move the module back along the tongue-and-groove slots until the bus
connectors (2) line up with each other.
5. Push the bus lever back slightly to clear the bus locking tab (3). Use your
6. To allow communication between the controller and module, move the bus
lever fully to the left (4) until it clicks. Ensure it locks firmly into the bus
locking tab.
ATTENTION
When attaching I/O modules, it is very important that the
bus connectors are securely locked together to ensure
proper electrical connection.
!
7. Attach an end cap terminator (5) to the last module in the system by using
the tongue-and-groove slots as before.
8. Lock the end cap bus terminator (6).
IMPORTANT
A 1769-ECR or 1769-ECL right or left end cap must be used to
terminate the end of the serial communication bus.
Mounting Expansion I/O
ATTENTION
During panel or DIN rail mounting of all devices, be sure that
all debris (metal chips, wire strands, etc.) is kept from falling
into the module. Debris that falls into the module could cause
damage on power up.
!
Minimum Spacing
Maintain spacing from
enclosure walls,
wireways, adjacent
equipment, etc. Allow 50
mm (2 in.) of space on all
sides for adequate
ventilation, as shown:
Mount the module to a panel using two screws per module. Use M4 or #8 panhead
screws. Mounting screws are required on every module.
Panel Mounting Using the Dimensional Template
For more than 2 modules: (number of modules - 1) x 35 mm (1.38 in.)
Refer to host controller documentation for this dimension.
Note: All dimensions are in mm (inches).
Hole spacing tolerance: ±0.4 mm (0.016 in.).

Panel Mounting Procedure Using Modules as a Template
The following procedure allows you to use the assembled modules as a template
for drilling holes in the panel. If you have sophisticated panel mounting equipment,
you can use the dimensional template provided on page 6. Due to module
mounting hole tolerance, it is important to follow these procedures:
Compact I/O
28.5
(1.12)
End Cap
1. On a clean work surface, assemble no more than three modules.
2. Using the assembled modules as a template, carefully mark the center of all
module-mounting holes on the panel.
3. Return the assembled modules to the clean work surface, including any
previously mounted modules.
4. Drill and tap the mounting holes for the recommended M4 or #8 screw.
5. Place the modules back on the panel, and check for proper hole alignment.
6. Attach the modules to the panel using the mounting screws.
TIP
If mounting more modules, mount only the last one of
this group and put the others aside. This reduces
remounting time during drilling and tapping of the next
group.
The module can be mounted using the following DIN rails: 35 x 7.5 mm (EN 50 022
- 35 x 7.5) or 35 x 15 mm (EN 50 022 - 35 x 15).
Before mounting the module on a DIN rail, close the DIN rail latches. Press the DIN
rail mounting area of the module against the DIN rail. The latches will momentarily
open and lock into place.
Replacing a Single Module within a System
The module can be replaced while the system is mounted to a panel (or DIN rail).
Follow these steps in order:
1. Remove power. See important note on page 3.
2. On the module to be removed, remove the upper and lower mounting
screws from the module (or open the DIN latches using a flat-blade or
phillips style screwdriver).
3. Move the bus lever to the right to disconnect (unlock) the bus.
4. On the right-side adjacent module, move its bus lever to the right (unlock)
to disconnect it from the module to be removed.
5. Gently slide the disconnected module forward. If you feel excessive
resistance, check that the module has been disconnected from the bus, and
that both mounting screws have been removed (or DIN latches opened).
TIP
6. Before installing the replacement module, be sure that the bus lever on the
module to be installed, and on the right-side adjacent module are in the
unlocked (fully right) position.
7. Slide the replacement module into the open slot.
8. Connect the modules together by locking (fully left) the bus levers on the
replacement module and the right-side adjacent module.
9. Replace the mounting screws (or snap the module onto the DIN rail).
It may be necessary to rock the module slightly from
front to back to remove it, or, in a panel-mounted
system, to loosen the screws of adjacent modules.
This product is intended to be mounted to a well-grounded mounting surface such
as a metal panel. Additional grounding connections from the module’s mounting
tabs or DIN rail (if used), are not required unless the mounting surface cannot be
grounded. Refer to Industrial Automation Wiring and Grounding Guidelines,
Allen-Bradley publication 1770-4.1, for additional information.

Removing the Finger-Safe Terminal Block
When wiring field devices to the module, it is not necessary to remove the terminal
block. If you remove the terminal block, use the write-on label on the side of the
terminal block to identify the module slot lcation and type.
To remove the terminal block, loosen the upper and lower retaining screws. The
terminal block will back away from the module as you remove the screws. When
replacing the terminal block, torque the retaining screws to 0.46 Nm (4.1 in-lbs).

When wiring the terminal block, keep the finger-safe cover in place.
2. Route the wire under the terminal pressure plate. You can use the bare wire
or a spade lug. The terminals will accept a 6.35 mm (0.25 in.) spade lug.
TIP
3. Tighten the terminal screw making sure the pressure plate secures the wire.
Recommended torque when tightening terminal screws is 0.68 Nm (6 in-lbs).
TIP
The terminal screws are non-captive. Therefore, it is
possible to use a ring lug [maximum 1/4 inch o.d. with
a 0.139 inch minimum i.d. (M3.5)] with the module.
If you need to remove the finger-safe cover, insert a
screwdriver into one of the square, wiring holes and
gently pry the cover off. If you wire the terminal block
with the finger-safe cover removed, you will not be
able to put it back on the terminal block because the
wires will be in the way.

Output Module’s Input Data File
For each module, slot x, input data file word 0 contains the state of the module’s
output data (output data echo) file word 0. During normal operation, these input
bits represent the logic state that the outputs are directed to by the control program.
They are also dependent upon the:
• Program Mode configuration (if supported by the controller)
• The Fault Mode configuration (if supported by the controller)
For the 1769-OW8I, bits 8 to 15 are not used.

IMPORTANT
The output module’s input data file reflects the output data echo
of the module, not the electrical state of the output terminals. It
does not reflect shorted or open outputs.
It is important to use this input word if the controller adapter
supports the Program Mode or Fault Mode function, and if it is
configured to use them.
The read/writable configuration data file allows the setup of the hold last state and
user-defined safe state conditions.
The manipulation of the bits from this file is normally done with programming
software (e.g. RSLogix 500, RSNetworx for DeviceNet, etc.) during initial
configuration of the system. In that case, graphical screens are provided via the
programmer to simplify configuration. However, some systems (e.g. 1769-ADN
DeviceNet Adapter) also allow the bits to be altered as part of the control program
using communication rungs. In that case, it is necessary to understand the bit
arrangment.
