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
SGI-1.1 available from your local Rockwell Automation sales office or online at
http://www.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.

Environment and Enclosure
Zone Control I/O Cards 3
ATTENTION
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 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
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.
NOTE: 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.

4 Zone Control I/O Cards
About the Cards
The 1799 Zone Control I/O cards are 20-point I/O cards that communicate via the
DeviceNet network. These cards are intended for material handling and other applications.
The cards also have Zone Interlocking Protocol (ZIP) capability, which lets the cards
communicate directly with each other without hard wiring them together and using a scanner.
These cards have 10 inputs and 10 outputs. Inputs are 24V dc sourcing (PNP) or sinking
(NPN). Outputs are self-protected 24V dc sourcing (1799-ZCIOB and
sinking (1799-ZCIOV and
-D10U10VZC
).

Install the Card
To install the card:
• Set the node address
• Mount the card (brackets, mounting plate)
• Connect the card (DeviceNet network, auxiliary power, I/O)
• Communicate with your card
• Configure the parameters
More detailed information about each of these steps is in the following procedures.
Prevent Electrostatic Discharge
ATTENTION
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.
Set the Node Address
Valid node addresses are 00 to 63.
Set the node address using the rotary switches or a DeviceNet configuration tool such as
RSNetWorx for DeviceNet software. Setting the switches between 64 and 99 lets the software
have address control.
IMPORTANT
You must use RSNetWorx for DeviceNet software, revision 3.21 or later
with the Zone Control I/O cards.
Publication 1799-IN007D-EN-P - October 2005
6 Zone Control I/O Cards
Each card is shipped with the node address set to 63 in the card’s memory. The rotary
switches are set for position 99 at shipment. The switches are located near the center of the
card. The two switches are:
• MSD (most significant digit)
• LSD (least significant digit)
To reset the node address, use a small blade screwdriver to rotate the switches. Line up the
small arrow on the switch with the number setting you wish to use.
The rotary switches are read only when you apply power to the card. Settings between 64 and
99 cause the card to use the last valid node address stored in the card’s memory.
For example, the last setting in memory is 40. If a change is made to 68, and then you apply
power to the card, the address will default to 40.
LSD (S1)
The LSD (S2)
and MSD (S1)
switches are

The card is equipped with AutoBaud detect. AutoBaud lets the card detect the
communication rate on your DeviceNet network and automatically adjusts to that rate.
The card is shipped with AutoBaud enabled.

Auxiliary Power Specifications
The power source used to supply the auxiliary power to the outputs must be one of the
following:
• a 10 to 30V dc Class 2 power supply, or
• a 10 to 30V dc UL Listed or recognized power supply with isolated outputs limited to
200VA in each ungrounded output line.
This condition requires that the card and power source be mounted in a suitable,
ultimate enclosure with proper spacings maintained.

The 1799-ZCIOB, 1799-D10U10BZC, 1799-ZCIOV, and 1799-D10U10VZC cards have
universal inputs that provide operation with either sourcing or sinking input devices. The
universal feature lets you configure the inputs as either all sinking or all sourcing. Use the
following wiring diagrams to connect the inputs on the cards.
IMPORTANT
All field input devices in each group of eight must be of the same type,
either sinking or sourcing. The card will not operate if the types are mixed.

This card exchanges I/O with the master on the DeviceNet network through a cyclic, polled,
or change-of-state connection.
The card consumes and produces I/O data as follows:
I/O Connection TypeConsumesProduces
Cyclic2 Bytes7 Bytes
Polled2 Bytes7 Bytes
Change-of-state2 Bytes7 Bytes
Publication 1799-IN007D-EN-P - October 2005
14 Zone Control I/O Cards
Cyclic — the card produces and consumes its I/O cyclically at the rate configured by the
master on the DeviceNet network.
Polled — the master initiates communication by sending its polled I/O message to the card.
The card consumes the message, updates any outputs, and produces a response containing
the input data.
Change-of-state — a production occurs when an input changes. A heartbeat production
occurs if no input condition change occurs within the expected packet rate. This heartbeat
production tells the master that the card is ready to communicate. Consumption occurs when
data changes and the master produces new output data to the card.
Refer to the following table for the word and bit definitions:
The Zone Control cards have 42 parameters that are configurable through a DeviceNet
configuration tool such as RSNetWorx for DeviceNet software. The DeviceNet
configuration tools require an Electronic Data Sheet (EDS) for the Zone Control cards to
configure the card’s parameters. Find the EDS file can be found at http://www.odva.org.
