Important Pre-Installation
ConsiderationsThis module must be used with a 1771 Series B (or later) I/O chassis.
This module contains input filtering to limit the effects of voltage transients
caused by contact bounce and/or radiated electrical noise. This filtering cannot
be turned off. The delay due to filtering is:
• Off to On11 ± 6 ms for AC
3 ± 2 ms for DC
• On to Off29 ± 8 ms for AC
30 ± 7 ms for DC
This module is designed to operate with input devices such as limit switches,
float switches, selector switches, push-buttons, and proximity switches. A
simplified schematic for this module appears in Figure 1.

The module is shipped in a static-shielded container to guard against electrostatic
discharge damage. Observe the following precautions when handling the module:
CAUTION
!
ELECTROSTATICALLY SENSITIVE COMPONENTS
Observe the following precautions to guard against electrostatic damage:
¥Wear an approved wrist strap grounding device, or touch a grounded
object to discharge yourself before handling the module.
¥Do not touch the gold backplane connector or connector pins.
¥If available, use a static-free work station.
¥Keep the module in a static-shielded bag when not in use or during
shipment.
Failure to observe these precautions can degrade performance or damage the
module.
Power Supply RequirementsYour module receives its power from the chassis power supply through the
1771 I/0 chassis backplane. The module requires 100 mA, maximum, from the
output of this supply. Add this to the requirements of all other modules in the
I/O chassis to prevent overloading of the chassis backplane and/or backplane
power supply.
Installing The ModuleIn this section, we tell you how to key your I/O chassis, install your module,
and connect your wiring.
Keying Your I/O Chassis
Use the plastic keying bands, shipped with each I/O chassis, to key the I/O slots
to accept only this type of module.
The module circuit board is slotted in three places on the rear edge. The position
of the keying bands on the backplane connector must correspond to these slots
in order to insert your module. You can key any connector in an I/0 chassis to
receive this module except for the left-most connector, which is reserved for
adapter or processor modules.
Place keying bands between the following numbers labeled on the backplane
connector:
• Between 2 and 4
• Between 12 and 14
You can change the position of these keys if system redesign and rewiring
makes inserting a different module necessary.
Installing The Module In Your Chassis
To install the 1771sc-IMI16 in your 1771 I/0 chassis, follow these steps:
WARNING
!
POSSIBLE EQUIPMENT DAMAGE AND OPERATION
Always remove power from the 1771 I/0 chassis backplane and wiring arm
before removing or installing an I/O module.
¥Failure to remove power from the backplane or wiring arm can cause module
damage, degraded performance, or injury.
¥Failure to remove power from the backplane can also cause injury or equipment
2. Place the module in the plastic tracks on the top and bottom of the slot that
guides the module into position.
3. Do not force the module into its backplane connector. Apply firm, even
pressure on the module to seat it properly.
4. Snap the chassis latch over the top of the module to secure its position.
5. Connect the wiring arm to the module, as detailed below.
Connecting Wiring to the Input Module
Connections to the input module are made to the 40-terminal field wiring arm
(cat. no. 1771-WN) shipped with the module (Figure 2). Attach the wiring arm
to the pivot bar on the bottom of the I/O chassis. The wiring arm pivots upward
and connects with the module so you can install or remove the module without
disconnecting the wires.
Connect your input wiring to the field wiring arm as shown in Figure 2. Each
input channel has a positive and negative terminal. Connect only one wire to
a terminal. When multiple connections to a terminal are required, use an auxiliary
terminal strip.
CE Compliance Requirements
For installations requiring CE compliance, you must do the following:
• Use a minimum wire size of 16 AWG.
• Observe the grounding guidelines provided in Allen-Bradley’s 1771 Universal
I/O Chassis Installation Data Sheet.
• Hard wire or permanently connect the PLC to the power main, or provide
a pin and sleeve (IEC 309) connector for connection to the power main.
This equipment is intended for use in over-voltage category II installation (see
IEC 364-4-443), where the rated mains supply voltage does not exceed 1 kVac
(50/60 Hz) or 1.5 kVdc. If the input power is rated above these levels, ensure
that your system is isolated from the power main by an isolation transformer
(or equivalent over-voltage device) that has CE approval or approval from a
European test agency.
You must also protect against electrical shock by installing the I/O chassis in
an enclosure with an IP20 to IP29 rating per IEC 529. The enclosure should
have warning labels (hazard symbol 417-IEC-5036) and/or a mechanical
disconnect to minimize the risk of accidental shock during maintenance. Use
an enclosure that can only be opened with a key or tool.
For Troubleshooting The front panel of your module contains one green module active indicator and
16 red channel active indicators (Figure 4). After successfully communicating
with the PLC, the module will illuminate the green module active indicator.
The 16 red status indicators illuminate when the associated input channel is
active (on).
This module contains no user-serviceable parts, and should be returned to the
factory for repair if necessary.
Note that these modules contain components which are susceptible to damage
from electrostatic discharge (ESD). An electrostatic charge can accumulate on
the surface of ordinary plastic wrapping or cushioning material. In the unlikely
event that a module should need to be returned to Spectrum Controls,
please ensure that the unit is enclosed in approved ESD packaging (such
as a static-shielding / metallized bag or black conductive container).
Spectrum Controls reserves the right to void the warranty on any unit that is
improperly packaged for shipment.
For further information or assistance, please contact your local distributor, or
call the Spectrum Controls Customer Satisfaction department at (425) 7469481 from 8:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. Pacific Time.
