The block I/O module has an equipment grounding stud on the lower left side of
the module. Connect this grounding stud to your equipment ground. Torque the
nut to 15 in-lbs maximum when connecting to your equipment ground.
ATTENTION: Do not overtighten the nut on the grounding stud
when connecting the wire. Damage to the module could result.
Refer to “Programmable Controller Wiring and Grounding Guidelines”
(1770-4.1) for further information.

ATTENTION: Cycle power to the module after
setting the switches.
Only block I/O modules with all inputs or
all outputs can use complementary I/O.
NOTE: Set switch SW2–3 to 0 if this rack will have a
unique address (not complemented). If this rack
address is a duplicate of another I/O block or
chassis, set the switch to 1 for primary or 0 for
complementary. Refer to Table C for the
complementary I/O rack address.
Series A block I/O modules do not support
complementary I/O. If using series A
modules, set switch SW2–3 to 0.
Rack address 77 is an illegal configuration.

The SLC 500 controllers communicate with the block I/O using an I/O Scanner
module (cat. no. 1747-SN series A). Refer to the user manual for the 1747-SN/A
Scanner module for more information.
Note: This block I/O module is not compatible with the 1747-DSN Distributed
I/O Scanner module.
