1791D CompactBlock™ I/O input/output expansion module is a
combination 4 channel input and 2 channel output module. This combination
module serves as an analog expansion I/O for 1791D (DeviceNet), 1791P
(PROFIBUS DP), and 1791R (RIO) CompactBlock I/O.
CompactBlock I/O modules must be installed in a secondary enclosure.

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 "enclosed" equipment. It
should not require additional system enclosure when
used in locations consistent with the enclosure type
ratings stated in the Specifications section of this
publication. Subsequent sections of this publication may
contain additional information regarding specific
enclosure type ratings, beyond what this product
provides, 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
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 I/O
Follow these steps to install the 1791D I/O analog expansion module:
1. Mount the module.
Publication
1791D-IN002A-EN-P - June 2003

ATTENTION
!
2. Connect the input/output wires.
3. Remove the terminal block.
4. Insert the terminal block.
5. Communicate with the CompactBlock base module.
These steps are explained in detail in the following procedures.
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.
Mount the Module
The base and expansion modules mount to a panel or DIN rail, which must
be grounded before installing the module(s). For instructions on how to
mount a base module, refer to the installation instructions for the specified
module (1791D, 1791P, or 1791R).

Module Mounting
You can install the CompactBlock module on a panel or DIN rail.
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.
Panel Mounting
1. Place the module against the panel where you want to mount it.
2. Drill holes in the panel that are aligned with mounting holes on the
module.
3. Place screws through each of the 2 mounting holes and tighten the
screws until the module is firmly in place.

Remove the Terminal Block
The CompactBlock I/O analog combination expansion module has a
removable terminal block. Follow the directions below to remove the
CompactBlock terminal block.
When you connect or disconnect the Removable
Terminal Block (RTB) with field side power applied,
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.
1. Unscrew the two retaining screws on the side of the terminal block.
2. Lift the terminal block out of the base.

Insert the Terminal Block
To insert the CompactBlock terminal block.
1. Insert the terminal block by aligning it and pushing it back until it
rests against the back of the module.
2. Tighten the screws on each side of the terminal block until the
terminal block is firmly in place.
