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
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.

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

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

).

Zone Control I/O Cards 5

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
shown in the
63 position.

MSD (S2)

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.
