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 60664-1), at altitudes up to 2000 m (6562 ft) without
derating.
This equipment is considered Group 1, Class A industrial
equipment according to IEC/CISPR 11. Without appropriate
precautions, there may be difficulties with electromagnetic
compatibility in residential and other environments due to
conducted and radiated disturbances.
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 enclosure must have suitable
flame-retardant properties to prevent or minimize the spread of
flame, complying with a flame spread rating of 5VA, V2, V1, V0 (or
equivalent) if non-metallic. 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.
In addition to this publication, see:
Industrial Automation Wiring and Grounding Guidelines,
NEMA Standard 250 and IEC 60529, as applicable, for
explanations of the degrees of protection provided by
different types of enclosure.
When you insert or remove the module while backplane power is
on, or connect or disconnect the DeviceNet 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.
If you connect or disconnect wiring while the field side power is
on, 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.

If you connect or disconnect the communications cable with power
applied to this module or any device on the network, an electrical

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

FLEX I/O is grounded through the DIN rail to chassis ground. Use zinc
plated yellow-chromate steel DIN rail to assure proper grounding.
The use of other DIN rail materials (for example, aluminum or
plastic) that can corrode, oxidize, or are poor conductors, can result
in improper or intermittent grounding. Secure DIN rail to mounting
surface approximately every 200 mm (7.8 in.) and use end-anchors
appropriately.
Do not remove or replace an adapter while power is applied.
Interruption of the backplane can result in unintentional operation
or machine motion.

C
During mounting of all devices, be sure that all debris (metal chips,
wire strands, etc.) is kept from falling into the module. Debris that
falls into the module could cause damage on power up.
Push down and in at the same time to lock the adapter to the DIN
rail.
If the adapter does not lock in place, use a screwdriver or similar
device to move the locking tab down while pressing the adapter
flush onto the DIN rail, and release the locking tab to lock the
adapter module in place. If necessary, push up on the locking tab
to lock.

Mounting on a DIN rail before installing the Terminal Base Units
1. Position the DeviceNet adapter module (A) on an IEC standard,
(35 x 7.5 x 1 mm) top-hat DIN rail (B), at a slight angle.
2. Hook the lip on the rear of the adapter onto the top of the DIN
rail, and rotate the adapter onto the rail.
3. Press the adapter module down onto the DIN rail until flush.
Locking tab C will snap into position and lock the adapter to the
DIN rail.
4. If the adapter does not lock in place, use a screwdriver or similar
device to move the locking tab down while pressing the adapter
flush onto the DIN rail, and release the locking tab to lock the
adapter in place. If necessary, push up on the locking tab to lock.
5. Connect the adapter wiring as shown under “Connecting Wiring”
later in this document.
Panel/Wall Mounting
If mounting this adapter to a panel or wall, refer to publication 1794-2.13.
Mounting (or Replacing) the Adapter on an Existing System
1. Remove the DeviceNet plug-in connector from the front of the
adapter.
2. Disconnect any wiring jumpered to the adjacent terminal base.
3. Open the module latching mechanism and remove the module
from the base unit to which the adapter will be attached.
4. Push the flexbus connector toward the right side of the terminal
base to unplug the backplane connection.
5. Release the locking tab and remove the adapter module.
6. Before installing the new adapter, notice the notch on the right
rear of the adapter. This notch accepts the hook on the terminal
base unit. The notch is open at the bottom. The hook and adjacent
connection point keep the terminal base and the adapter tight
together, reducing the possibility of a break in communication
over the backplane.
When the adapter is locked onto the DIN rail, gently push the
flexbus connector into the adapter to complete the backplane
8. Reinstall the module in the adjacent terminal base unit.
9. Reconnect adapter wiring as described in “Connecting Wiring.)

Enhancements to Firmware 3.001
Firmware revision 3.001 provides the following functionality to the
1794-ADN DeviceNet adapter.
When you cycle power to the adapter in out-of-the-box mode (no rack configuration
stored in the adapter's memory), and there is a 32-point input or output module
(1794-IB32 or 1794-OB32) on the rail, the adapter will detect the 32-point module as a
2-word module and allocate I/O space appropriately for the network connection.
With firmware revision 3.001, when you cycle power to the adapter in out-of-the-box
mode, if a 1794-IB32 module is detected, it will allocate 2 input words, and no output
words, for the network connection. Similarly for the 1794-OB32, 2 output words, and no
input words, are allocated for the network connection.
Corrected Anomalies
Firmware revision 3.001 corrects these anomalies:
Input data issue in firmware revision 2.004
In firmware revision 2.003 or earlier, the 32-point I/O modules would have only one input
word and one output word allocated in the default out-of-the-box mode of operation for
each 32-point module.
If You Replace Firmware Revision 2.003 or Earlier Adapter With 1794-ADN
Series C
Take the following precautions when replacing a firmware revision 2.003
or earlier adapter with a firmware revision 3.001 or later adapter when the
FLEX rail contains any 32-point modules.
If out-of-the-box mode was used with the original adapter, the 32-point modules were
configured to act as if they were 16-point modules. After changing to the firmware
revision 3.001 adapter, it will not make a connection with the scanner because there will
be a mismatch in the I/O sizes. The scanner will report an error 77, indicating the I/O size
mismatch between the scanner and adapter.
To resolve this I/O size mismatch, two changes must be made:
– The scanner's scan list must be updated to reflect the new adapter's
I/O size.
In the case of each 1794-IB32 module, an extra input word must
be added and the output word deleted. Similarly with each
1794-OB32 module, an extra output word must be added and the
input word deleted.
– After the scanner's scan list has been updated to reflect the new I/O
sizes, the controller's I/O image will have to be adjusted, along
with the controller's ladder program, for any I/O that has shifted
due to I/O image changes.
If out-of-the-box mode was not used, and an RSNetWorx software-based configuration
was downloaded to the original adapter, there are two cases to consider:
– The original adapter's configuration is the same as the v3.001
adapter's out-of-the-box configuration.
In this case, the scanner will automatically make the I/O
connection with the firmware revision 3.001 adapter. Once
network setup is complete, downloading and saving the original
configuration to the adapter is recommended.
– The original adapter's configuration does not match the firmware
revision 3.001 adapter's out-of-the-box configuration.
In this case, the scanner will report an error 77, indicating an I/O
size mismatch.
To correct this issue, download the existing configuration to the
adapter.
The adapter will not accept any downloads that could change its
configuration while there is an active I/O connection between a
scanner and the adapter. It will be necessary to either remove the
scanner from the network or disable the scanlist entry in the scanner
to the adapter, using RSNetWorx software, before configuration
downloads can be done successfully to the adapter
