Important User Information

Solid state equipment has operational characteristics differing from those of electromechanical equipment. Safety Guidelines for the Application, Installation and Maintenance of Solid State Controls (Publication SGI-1.1, available from your local Rockwell Automation sales office or online at http://www.literature.rockwellautomation.com) describes some important differences between solid state equipment and hard-wired electromechanical devices. Because of this difference, and also because of the wide variety of uses for solid state equipment, all persons responsible for applying this equipment must satisfy themselves that each intended application of this equipment is acceptable.

In no event will Rockwell Automation, Inc. be responsible or liable for indirect or consequential damages resulting from the use or application of this equipment.

The examples and diagrams in this manual are included solely for illustrative purposes. Because of the many variables and requirements associated with any particular installation, Rockwell Automation, Inc. cannot assume responsibility or liability for actual use based on the examples and diagrams.

	ATTENTION	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.

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

ATTENTION			Prevent Electrostatic Discharge
			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 wriststrap

∙ 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.

WARNING

When used in a Class I, Division 2, hazardous location, this equipment must be mounted in a suitable enclosure with proper wiring method that complies with the governing electrical codes.

If you connect or disconnect the ControlNet cable with power applied to this module or any device on the network, an electrical arc can occur. This could cause an explosion in hazardous location installations.

Be sure that power is removed or the area is nonhazardous before proceeding.

After you have installed the card, you can connect it:

∙directly to a ControlNet network, which requires a tap (page 1-9).

∙to a device already connected to the ControlNet network (page 1-10).

See Figure 1.1 on page 1-8 for the connectors and indicators.
