Installation Guidelines

  • Ensure power to the ControlLogix chassis is disconnected prior to installing or removing the module.
  • Mount the unit into any available slot of a 1756 ControlLogix chassis.
  • Maintain adequate panel ventilation to keep ambient temperatures within 0 to 60 degC during operation.
  • Use 1756-CP3 or 1747-CP3 serial cables for direct serial interface connectivity.
  • Maintain proper ground connection on the chassis backplane to mitigate EMI/RFI interference.
  • Install a fresh 1756-BA1 or 1756-BATM lithium battery to retain volatile memory when the module is powered down.
