Preventing 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.
• If available, use a static-safe workstation.
• When not in use, store the equipment in
appropriate static-safe packaging.

ATTENTION
!
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.
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 Allen-Bradley publication 1770-4.1
("Industrial Automation Wiring and Grounding
Guidelines"), for additional installation
requirements pertaining to this equipment.

Installing CompactBlock LDX I/O
Follow these steps to install the base block:
1. Set the station address on the base block.
2. Mount the base block.
3. Mount the optional expansion blocks.
4. Wire the terminal blocks.
5. Connect the PROFIBUS connector.
6. Connect power to the block.
These steps are explained in detail in the following
procedures.
Set the Station Address on the Base Block
To set the station address, adjust the switches on the front of
the base block. The two switches are most significant digit
(MSD) and least significant digit (LSD). The switches can be
set between 00 and 99.
The base block reads the rotary switches at power-up only
Example: Station
Address is set at 11

WARNING
!
Mount the Base Block
You can mount the base block to a panel or DIN rail. We
recommend that you ground the panel or DIN rail before
mounting the base block.
When used in a Class I, Division 2, hazardous
location, this equipment must be mounted in a
suitable enclosure with the proper wiring
method that complies with the governing
electrical codes.
Panel Mounting
1. Place the base block against the panel where you want
to mount it.
2. Gently pull and position the expansion cover to the left.
3. Place a center punch, nail or similar device through the
mounting holes in the base block and make two marks
on the panel (lower left and upper right corners of the
base block).
4. Remove the base block and drill two holes in the panel
to accommodate each of the mounting screws.
Publication 1790-IN009B-EN-P - April 2003

5. Replace the base block on the panel and place a screw
through each of the two mounting holes. Tighten the
screws until the base block is firmly in place.

DIN Rail Mounting
1. Hook the top slot of the base block over the DIN Rail.
2. Pull down on the locking lever while pressing the base
block against the rail.

Mount the Optional Expansion Blocks
IMPORTANT
The analog base blocks can accommodate a
maximum of two discrete expansion blocks.
The RTD and thermocouple base blocks do
not support any expansion blocks.
Mount the expansion block by connecting it to a
previously-installed CompactBlock LDX I/O base or expansion
block.
Beginning with the base block, you can mount your
expansion blocks either horizontally or vertically:
• horizontally (left to right) - add expansion blocks in an
end-to-end configuration
• vertically (up or down) - add expansion blocks either up or
down in a back-to-back configuration. In this configuration,
you must use the optional 15cm ribbon cable
(1790-15CMCBL) and alternately position the blocks in a
right-side up, upside-down fashion.

WARNING
!
Wire and Connect the PROFIBUS DP Terminal Connector
Follow these procedures when connecting the PROFIBUS DP
terminal connector to the base block.
If you connect or disconnect the PROFIBUS
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.
The required PROFIBUS female 9-pin D-sub connector is not
supplied with the base block; you must purchase it separately.
Before you connect the female 9-pin D-sub connector to the
base block, make sure it is wired correctly, as shown in the
following table.
