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://literature.rockwellautomation.com) 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. In no event will Rockwell Automation, Inc. be responsible or liable for indirect or consequential damages resulting from the use or application of this equipment. The examples and diagrams in this manual are included solely for illustrative purposes. Because of the many variables and requirements associated with any particular installation, Rockwell Automation, Inc. cannot assume responsibility or liability for actual use based on the examples and diagrams. No patent liability is assumed by Rockwell Automation, Inc. with respect to use of information, circuits, equipment, or software described in this manual. Reproduction of the contents of this manual, in whole or in part, without written permission of Rockwell Automation, Inc. is prohibited.

WARNING

ATTENTION

When 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.

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.

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.

Personnel responsible for the application of safety-related Programmable Electronic Systems (PES) shall be aware of the safety requirements in the application of the system and shall be trained in using the system.

Do not remove or replace a Terminal Base unit while power is applied. Interruption of the backplane can result in unintentional operation or machine motion.

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 (6562 ft) 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 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, for

additional installation requirements, Allen-Bradley publication

1770-4.1

• NEMA Standards publication 250 and IEC publication 60529,

as applicable, for explanations of the degrees of protection provided by different types of enclosure.

WARNING

ATTENTION

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.

To comply with the CE Low Voltage Directive (LVD), all connections to this equipment must be powered from a source compliant with the following: Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) or Protected Extra Low Voltage (PELV).

Installing Your Digital Output Module

ATTENTION

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.

The module mounts on a 1794 terminal base.

1. Rotate the keyswitch (1) on the terminal base (2) clockwise to

position 2 as required for this type of module.

2. Make certain the flexbus connector (3) is pushed all the way to the left to connect with the neighboring terminal base/adapter. You

cannot install the module unless the connector is fully extended.

3. Make sure the pins on the bottom of the module are straight so

they will align properly with the connector in the terminal base.

4. Position the module (4) with its alignment bar (5) aligned with the groove (6) on the terminal base.

5. Press firmly and evenly to seat the module in the terminal base unit. The module is seated when the latching mechanism (7) is locked into the module.
