devices:
• Momentary push buttons, illuminated
• Maintained push buttons, illuminated
• Flush head or extended head operators
• 2 position selector switches
• 2 position key switches
800EP/EM (22.5mm)
Push Button Modules
1–2
RediPANEL 800EP/EM Modules support Bulletin 800EP and 800EM
22.5mm devices. Table 1.A lists NEMA ratings for 800EP/EM devices.
• Flush head, extended head, or 40mm mushroom head operators
• Pilot lights
• 2 position selector switches, illuminated/non-illuminated
• 3 position selector switches, illuminated/non-illuminated
• Hole closing plugs
3 position devices use two RediPANEL inputs leaving an unused hole on the
front panel (hole plug 800E-N2).
Unpopulated Configuration
You can order an unpopulated 800EM/EP RediPANEL Module. The
unpopulated configuration consists of the enclosure and electronics without
the 800EM or 800EP devices. Each 800EM/EP device is ordered separately.
ATTENTION: Only install Allen-Bradley 800EM or 800EP
devices in the RediPANEL module. Using operators from other
!
manufacturers voids the warranty.

Overview
800T/H (30mm)
Push Button Modules
RediPANEL 800T/800H Modules support Bulletin 800T and 800H 30mm
120 VAC, Class 1, Div. 2 Groups A, B, C, and D devices only. The 800T
devices have a NEMA Type 12/13 rating for applications requiring
protection from oil and dust. The stainless steel faceplate of 800H devices is
designed for NEMA Type 4, 4X applications (hosedown or corrosive
environments).
RediPANEL 800T/H modules are available in 3 configurations:
• standard
• custom
• unpopulated
Standard Configuration
Standard configurations support 16 or 32 illuminated 800T/H push buttons.
Custom Configuration
Custom configurations support any 16 or 32 of the following 800T or 800H
devices:
• Flush head, extended head or mushroom head operators
• Pilot lights
• 2 position selector switches, illuminated/non-illuminated
• 3 position selector switches, illuminated/non-illuminated
• 4 position selector switches
• Hole closing plugs
3 or 4 position devices use 2 RediPANEL inputs (and 2 connector cables),
leaving a physical location with an output bit only. You can either:
1. Reduce the total number of push button devices by one for each 3 or 4
position device. Use a hole plug (Catalog No. 800T-N1B) to cover the
unused hole.
For example, a 16 button module that includes a 3 or 4 position device
can have a maximum of 14 additional push buttons.
2. Use a pilot light adapter cable (Catalog 800T-N309) to install a 3 or 4
position pilot light instead of the hole plug.
The above example would then support an additional pilot light for a total
of 16 devices.

DIP Switches2–3
Setting Switch Bank 12–4
Setting Switch Bank 22–6
Input and Output Image Tables2–8
DIP Switches on the RediPANEL are used to set Input/Output (I/O)
requirements. On a Remote I/O network, I/O is measured in terms of racks.
The smallest unit is a 1/4 rack.
Rack size determines the amount of space the module uses in the Input and
Output Image tables. When you select a rack size (using DIP switches),
space is reserved in the Input and Output Image Tables of your processor.
Three factors determine rack size:
• Input/Output size
• Flashing functions
• Handshaking functions
Input/Output Size
Input/Output Size directly relates to the number of push buttons on the
RediPANEL module. A 16 push button module has 16 inputs and 16
outputs. A 32 push button module has 32 inputs and 32 outputs.
Flashing Function
The flashing function causes the RediPANEL outputs to flash without
additional PLC programming. If flashing is enabled, the processor allocates
additional memory in the I/O Image Table. By branching the RediPANEL
output bits with the corresponding flashing bits, the RediPANEL outputs
blink at a 0.5 second rate.
A 16 push button module requires 16 additional outputs. A 32 push button
module requires 32 additional outputs to enable the flashing function.
Handshake
The handshake function latches an input bit until it is acknowledged by the
processor. Handshaking requires an additional output bit in the Output
Image Table.

• 115.2K for links up to 5,000 feet (1,500 meters)
• 230.4K for links up to 2,500 feet (750 meters)
When enabled, the Module uses the built-in flash feature to flash the lamps inside the
push button at a 0.5 sec. rate. Programming ON/OFF Timers is not necessary,
• Halt stops all push button operations when a fault is detected using the Push-to-Test
button. Communications with the PLC is disabled, the COMM LED turns off, and the
FAULT LED illuminates.
• Continue forces all associated input image table bits to the released state. The rest of
the push buttons continue to operate while the faulted button remains inoperable.
• Last tells the controller that the RediPANEL module is the last device in that logical rack,
not necessarily the last remote rack on the I/O link.
The Last setting is not a terminator resistor for the remote I/O link.
• Not Last specifies that the RediPANEL module is not the last device in the logical rack.
• Full configures the module as a full rack (regardless of the I/O requirements in Table
2.A).
The Full setting is required when connecting RediPANEL modules directly to
PLC-5/15 (Series B Revision G or earlier) or PLC-5/25 (Series A Revision C
or earlier) controllers.
• Table configures the rack size of the module using Table 2.A.
• When enabled, handshaking allows the use of the handshake bit. Any push button
depression is held ON until the controller verifies that it has received the signal.
The controller’s ladder logic must contain a handshake rung or the
RediPANEL module will not function properly.
See page 4–21 for details on using the Handshake Mode.
• When disabled, handshaking holds any push button depression ON for 100
milliseconds.
• If Last State is enabled, when communications is lost, the module stops sending signals
and the COMM LED turns off. Any output signals that were on when communication
was lost return to that state when communications is regained. The module locks up
and ignores any push button depressions. Lamps remain in their last state.
• If Last State is disabled, the module turns off any lamps that were on when
communications is lost. When communications is regained, the module updates itself
and resumes operations.

Electrical Precautions
Grounding
Install the Bulletin 2705 Push Button Module using publication NFPA 70E,
Electrical Safety Requirements for Employee Workplaces.
ATTENTION: Do not program any of the devices on the Push
Button Module as emergency stop switches. Emergency stop
!
switches must be hardwired to the master control relay of the
system to turn off all machine power completely.
Additional guidelines to follow include:
• Careful wire routing helps cut down on electrical noise. Route incoming
power to the module by a separate path from the communication cables.
Do not run communications wiring and power wiring in the same
conduit!
• Where wire paths must cross, make their intersection perpendicular.
• Grounding helps to limit the effects of noise due to electromagnetic
interference (EMI). To avoid EMI, use shielded cables.
Grounding is an important safety measure in electrical installations. As
mentioned previously, with solid state systems grounding helps to limit the
effect of noise from EMI (electromagnetic interference).
An authoritative source on grounding requirements is the National ElectricalCode published by the National Fire Protection Association of Boston,
Massachusetts. Refer to an article of the Code that discusses the types and
sizes of wire conductors and safe methods of grounding electrical equipment
and components.

Wiring and Installation
Power Requirements
Connecting Power
RediPANEL Modules operate with different power sources.
The AC power supplies for the 800A and Membrane Modules have an
automatic over voltage shutdown. Automatic shutdown occurs if the output
voltage of the 5V supply rises by 25% or the 12V supply rises by 20%. To
reset the RediPANEL after an automatic shutdown, disconnect AC power as
follows:
For :Disconnect a AC power for:
120V AC Sourceminimum of 30 seconds
240V AC Sourceminimum of 60 seconds
Connect power lines to the module as shown below:
Terminal BlockConnection
GNDGround Wire
L2/NNeutral Wire
L1Power Wire
(–)DC 0 Volts
(+)DC +24 Volts
ATTENTION: Do not apply power to the module until all
electrical connections, including communications lines, have
!
been connected.
ATTENTION: The ground terminal (GND) must be connected
to a reliable low impedance earth ground to protect the display
!
against electrical noise. The ground will also help protect
personnel from electrical shock if a voltage is shorted to the
enclosure.
1. Connect ground wire to the GND terminal on the terminal block.
2. Connect the power lines, L1 and L2/N , or (–) and (+DC). Do not apply
power until all connections have been made.

3. Connect the communications lines as described on page 3-16.
4. Apply power and verify power up operation.
Chapter 3
Wiring and Installation
Enclosures
You must use an enclosure to protect the electronics of the Push Button
Module from atmospheric contamination. Standards established by the
National Electrical Manufacturer’s Association (NEMA) define enclosure
types based on the degree of protection an enclosure will provide.
Heat Dissipation
Within the enclosure, the Push Button Module (or Modules) requires room
for convection cooling.
In some applications, other equipment inside (or outside) the enclosure may
produce too much heat. Place blower fans inside the enclosure to circulate
air to reduce hot spots near components. In extreme cases, use air
conditioning to prevent heat build-up.
ATTENTION: Do not use unfiltered outside air. It could
contain contaminants or dirt harmful to the components.
