Important User Information
Solid state equipment has operational characteristics differing from those of
electromechanical equipment. Safety Guidelines for the Application, Installation
and Maintenance of Solid State Controls (Publication
local Rockwell Automation sales office or online at
http://www.rockwellautomation.com/literature/) describes some important
differences between solid state equipment and hard-wired electromechanical
devices. Because of this difference, and also because of the wide variety of uses for
solid state equipment, all persons responsible for applying this equipment must
satisfy themselves that each intended application of this equipment is acceptable.

Prevent 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.
• Use a static-safe workstation, if available.
• Store the equipment in appropriate static-safe packaging when
not in use.
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 nonmetallic. 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,
Rockwell Automation publication 1770-4.1, for additional
installation requirements.
• NEMA Standard 250 and IEC 60529, as applicable, for
explanations of the degrees of protection provided by different
types of enclosure.
Labels may be on or inside the equipment, for example, a drive or
motor, to alert people that surfaces may reach dangerous
temperatures.

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.

Install Your Adapter Module
Mount on a Panel or Wall
If mounting this adapter to a panel or wall, refer to publication 1794-TD013,
Panel Mounting Kit, Cat. No. 1794-NM1.
If you insert or remove the module while backplane 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.
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.
Mount or Replace the Adapter on an Existing System
1. Disconnect any wiring jumpered to the adjacent terminal base.
2. Remove the Ethernet connectors from the bottom of the adapter.
If you connect or disconnect the communication cable with power
applied to the adapter 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.
3. Disconnect any user power wiring connections to the adapter.
4. Open the module latching mechanism and remove the module from the
base unit to which the adapter will be attached.
5. Push the FlexBus connector toward the right side of the terminal base to
unplug the backplane connection.
Make certain the FlexBus connector is completely clear of the
adapter. The slide must be completely to the right and the raised spot
on the slide visible.
6. Release the locking tab and remove the adapter module.
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
During mounting of all devices, be sure that all debris (for example,
metal chips, wire strands) is kept from falling into the module. Debris
that falls into the module could cause damage on power up.
keep the terminal base and the adapter tight together, reducing the
possibility of a break in communication over the backplane.
Do not remove or replace an Adapter Module while power is
applied. Interruption of the backplane can result in unintentional
operation or machine motion.
7. Complete the adapter mounting as shown below.
Push down and in at the same time to lock the adapter to the DIN rail.
Mount on a DIN Rail
1. Position the adapter module (A) on an IEC standard (35 x 7.5 x 1 mm)
top-hat DIN rail (B) at a slight angle (DIN rail: Allen-Bradley part
number 199-DR1; 46277-3; EN50022).
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.
2. Hook the lip on the rear of the adapter onto the top of the DIN rail, and
rotate the adapter module onto the rail.
3. Press the adapter module down onto the DIN rail until flush. Locking
tab (C) snaps the adapter into position and locks it onto the DIN rail.
4. If the adapter module does not lock in place, use a screwdriver or similar
device to move the locking tab down while pressing the adapter module
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.
5. Connect the adapter wiring as shown in the Connect Wiring diagram.

8. Reinstall the module in the adjacent terminal base unit.
Connect Wiring
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.
1. Connect an Ethernet network cable to the RJ45 connector (A).
2. Connect the redundant Ethernet network cable to the RJ45
connector
(B).
The adapter reads the thumbwheel switches first to determine if the switches are
set to a valid number. You set the node address by using the three-position
thumbwheel switch. Press the + or - buttons to change the number. Valid settings
are 001…254.
When the switches are set to a valid number, the adapter’s IP address is
192.168.1.xxx (where xxx represents the number set on the switches). The
adapter subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 and the gateway address is set to 0.0.0.0.
The adapter does not have a host name assigned, or use any Domain Name
System when using the thumbwheel settings.
If you set the switches to an invalid number (such as 000, or a value greater than
254), the adapter checks to see if you enabled DHCP.
