Because of the variety of uses for the products described in this
publication, those responsible for the application and use of these
products must satisfy themselves that all necessary steps have been
taken to assure that each application and use meets all performance
and safety requirements, including any applicable laws, regulations,
codes and standards. In no event will Rockwell Automation be
responsible or liable for indirect or consequential damage resulting
from the use or application of these products.

Any illustrations, charts, sample programs, and layout examples
shown in this publication are intended solely for purposes of
example. Since there are many variables and requirements associated
with any particular installation, Rockwell Automation does not
assume responsibility or liability (to include intellectual property
liability) for actual use based upon the examples shown in this
publication.

Allen–Bradley publication SGI–1.1, Safety Guidelines for
Application, Installation, and Maintenance of Solid–State Control
(available from your local Rockwell Automation office), describes
some important differences between solid–state equipment and
electromechanical devices that should be taken into consideration
when applying products such as those described in this publication.

Environment and Enclosure

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 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 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.

See NEMA Standards publication 250 and IEC
publication 60529, as applicable, for explanations
of the degrees of protection provided by different
types of enclosures. Also, see the appropriate
sections in this publication, as well as the
Allen–Bradley publication 1770–4.1, (“Industrial
Automation Wiring and Grounding Guidelines”),
for additional installation requirements pertaining
to this equipment.

Pre-installation
Considerations

Calculate Power
Requirements

Determine Module
Placement

An output can drive an Allen–Bradley Size 5 motor starter, provided
its supply voltage does not drop below 92V ac. The maximum load
current the module can deliver is 2A per channel, not to exceed 6A
total per module.

ATTENTION

!

The output module is powered by the power supply connected to the
I/O chassis backplane. The module requires a maximum current of
210mA from the +5V dc output of this supply. Total the current
requirements of this module with the other modules in the I/O
chassis to avoid overloading the supply or the I/O chassis backplane.

Group your modules to minimize adverse effects from radiated
electrical noise and/or heat. We recommend the following:

When using a remote I/O system with a PLC
processor, use only the 1771-AS or 1771-AR
remote I/O adapter module which is series B or
later. These remote I/O adapters add additional
capability for shorted data bus detection. Failure
to use series B or later remote I/O adapters may
result in damage to equipment and/or personal
injury.

• Group analog input and low voltage dc modules away from ac

modules or high voltage dc modules to minimize electrical noise
interference.

• Place analog input modules and other I/O modules sensitive to

heat away from slot power supplies and rack controllers to
minimize adverse heat effects.

The 1771–OP module is a modular component of the 1771 I/O
system requiring a properly installed system chassis. Refer to
publication 1771–IN075 for detailed information on acceptable
chassis, proper installation and grounding requirements. Limit the
maximum adjacent slot power dissipation to 10W maximum.
