Installation Guidelines

• Chassis Mounting: Ensure the controller is fully seated into any available slot of a compatible ControlLogix chassis before applying power.
• Energy Storage Module: Install the required 1756-ESMCAP energy storage capacitor module to maintain memory backup functionality without traditional batteries.
• Local USB Port Connection: The front panel USB port is provided for temporary local programming, configuration, and firmware updates only.
• Grounding & Power: Verify that the chassis and power supply are properly grounded according to standard industrial wiring and grounding guidelines to mitigate EMI/RFI noise.
