ATTENTION: The 1771-ID16GM isolated input
module is designed specifically for General Motors
Corporation use only. This module has specific input
current requirements as outlined in the specifications at
the end of this installation instruction.
For proper circuit operation:
• maximum input voltage is limited to 120V ac
• all inductive or solenoid input loads must provide
external surge suppression
In addition, this module has been qualified for Bulletin
700P style 120V relay circuits only.
Use this module in a series B or later I/O chassis. The
1771-ID16GM is not compatible with the 1771-AL
local I/O adapter.

ac (120V) Isolated Input Module2
Publication 1771-IN001A–EN–P – May 2000
This module contains customer-selectable input filtering to limit the
effects of voltage transients caused by contact bounce and/or radiated
electrical noise. The delay due to filtering is 9.0 or 18.0ms for
turning ac inputs on to off, and 1.0ms for turning ac inputs off to on.
The filter time is factory set to 9.0ms.
If this product has the CE mark it is approved for installation within
the European Union and EEA regions. It has been designed and
tested to meet the following directives.
EMC Directive
This product is tested to meet Council Directive 89/336/EEC
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) and the following standards,
in whole or in part, documented in a technical construction file:
• EN 50081-2EMC – Generic Emission Standard,
Part 2 – Industrial Environment
• EN 50082-2EMC – Generic Immunity Standard,
Part 2 – Industrial Environment
This product is intended for use in an industrial environment.
Low Voltage Directive
This product is tested to meet Council Directive 73/23/EEC
Low Voltage, by applying the safety requirements of EN 61131–2
Programmable Controllers, Part 2 – Equipment Requirements and
Tests.
For specific information required by EN 61131-2, see the appropriate
sections in this publication, as well as “Industrial Automation Wiring
and Grounding Guidelines,” Allen-Bradley publication 1770-4.1
Open style devices must be provided with environmental and safety
protection by proper mounting in enclosures designed for specific
application conditions. See NEMA Standards publication 250 and
IEC publication 529, as applicable, for explanations of the degrees of
protection provided by different types of enclosure.
Your module receives its power through the 1771 I/O chassis
backplane from the chassis power supply. The module requires
75mA from the output of this supply. Add this to the requirements of
all other modules in the I/O chassis to prevent overloading the
chassis backplane and/or backplane power supply.

ac (120V) Isolated Input Module 3
Publication 1771-IN001A–EN–P – May 2000
The isolated input module is shipped in a static-shielded bag to guard
against electrostatic discharge damage. Observe the following
precautions when handling the module.
Electrostatic Discharge Damage
!
ATTENTION: Under some conditions, electrostatic
discharge can degrade performance or damage the
module. Observe the following precautions to guard
against electrostatic damage.
• Wear an approved wrist strap grounding device, or touch a
grounded object to discharge yourself before handling the
module.
• Do not touch the backplane connector or connector pins.
• If you configure or replace internal components, do not touch
other circuit components inside the module. If available, use a
static-free work station.
• When not in use, keep the module in a static-shielded bag.
The input module has 2 customer-selectable input filter time
jumpers. Jumper JPR 1 sets the input filter time for inputs 00 through
07, and jumper JPR 2 sets the input filter time for inputs 10 through
17. These filter times apply when the input is cycling from ON to
OFF. The OFF to ON filter time is fixed at 0.57ms. Refer to the
figure on page 4 for filter times and jumper settings.
Important: Half cycle dropout protection is dependent upon the
position of the jumpers. With the jumpers at the 9.0ms
position (Fast), half cycle protection may not be
guaranteed. If half cycle dropout protection is required,
position the jumpers in the 18.0ms position (Norm).
Maximum and minimum filter times are shown in
Table A.

To set the filtering time, proceed as follows:
1. Remove the side covers from the module circuit board by
removing the four screws securing the covers to the module and
remove the circuit board.
2. Position the jumpers as required to provide the filter time you
require (see below). Use your fingers to pull the jumper up and
position over the 2 pins corresponding to your selection (Fast or
Norm).

Place your module in any slot in the chassis
except the leftmost slot which is reserved for
processors or adapters.
ATTENTION: Observe the following
precautions when inserting or removing
keys:
• insert or remove keys with your fingers
• make sure that key placement is correct
Incorrect keying or the use of a tool can
result in damage to the backplane
connector and possible system faults.
!
Position the keying bands in the backplane connectors to correspond to
the key slots on the module.
Place the keying bands:
between 22 and 24
between 26 and 28
You can change the position of these bands if
subsequent system design and rewiring makes
insertion of a different type of module necessary.

I/O chassis
!
ATTENTION: Remove power from the 1771 I/O
chassis backplane and field wiring arm before
removing or installing an I/O module.
• Failure to remove power from the backplane or wir-
ing arm could cause module damage, degradation of
performance, or injury.
• Failure to remove power from the backplane could
cause injury or equipment damage due to possible
unexpected operation.
Swing the chassis locking bar down into place to secure
the modules. Make sure the locking pins engage.

1. Make certain all power is removed from the module before
making wiring connections.
2. Swing the wiring arm up into position on the front of the module.
The locking tab on the module will secure it into place.
3. Make your connections to the field wiring arm as shown in the
following figure. (Use the label on the front of the wiring arm to
identify your wiring.)
Note: A shorting bar may be used to connect the commons if
channel-to-channel isolation is not required.
