SGI-1.1 available from your local Rockwell
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 m (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,
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 enclosures.
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.
Use a static-safe workstation, if available.
Store the equipment in appropriate static-safe packaging when not
in use.
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.
Labels may be located on or inside the equipment (for example, drive or
motor) to alert people that surfaces may be dangerous temperatures.
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.
This product 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.
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.

Status Indicator
The OK status indicator is two-colored: red and green. The indicator flashes green
for one of three reasons:
1. The module configuration word is zero (for example, power up reset
condition).
2. The 24V DC user power is off.
3. The module is in configuration mode.
The indicator displays red to indicate that the module did not pass the initial
hardware test. Cycle power again.
After power up, if the status indicator is not flashing green or solid green, cycle
module power once more to verify a proper reset of the bus interface.
