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 “Industrial Automation Wiring and Grounding Guidelines” (1770-4.1)
for further information.

NOTE:
Set switch SW2–3 to 0 if this rack

primary or 0 for complementary.
Refer to Table C for the

Installation Instructions
Block I/O
Cat. No. 1791-32A0 Series B
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.
Important: This block I/O module is not compatible with the 1747-DSN
Distributed I/O Scanner module.
Termination Resistor
A
termination resistor must be installed on the last block in a series. Connect the
ATTENTION: Devices that are operating at 230.4K baud must have
82 ohm terminators in place for proper operation.
