I/O Modules
The 1769 Compact I/O modules can be used with a CompactLogix controller, as well
as for expansion I/O in a MicroLogix 1500 controller assembly or in an assembly
with a 1769-ADN DeviceNet I/O adapter module. Unless connected to a MicroLogix
1500 base, each bank of I/O modules must include its own power supply.

Install the I/O modules on a panel with two mounting screws or on a DIN rail. The
modules mechanically lock together by means of a tongue-and-groove design and
have an integrated communication bus that is connected from module to module by
a moveable bus connector.

Each I/O module includes a built-in removable terminal block with finger-safe cover
for connections to I/O sensors and actuators. The terminal block is behind a door at
the front of the module. I/O wiring can be routed from beneath the module to the I/O
terminals.

About power supply distance ratings

Check each module’s specification table for the power supply distance rating. This
indicates how many slot positions the module can be from the power supply.

Type of Module Description

An input module responds to an input signal in the following manner:

y Input filtering limits the effect of voltage transients caused by contact bounce and/or electrical noise.
If not filtered, voltage transients could produce false data. All input modules use input filtering.
input module
y Optical isolation shields logic circuits from possible damage due to electrical transients.
y Logic circuits process the signal.
y An input LED turns on or off indicating the status of the corresponding input device.
An output module controls the output signal in the following manner:
y Logic circuits determine the output status.
output module y An output LED indicates the status of the output signal.
y Optical isolation separates module logic and bus circuits from field power.
y The output driver turns the corresponding output on or off.

Most output modules have built-in surge suppression to reduce the effects of high-
voltage transients. Use an additional suppression device if an output is being used to
control inductive devices, such as relays, motor starters, solenoids, or motors.
Additional suppression is especially important if your inductive device is in series with
or parallel to hard contacts, such as push buttons or selector switches.

Add a suppression device directly across the coil of an inductive device to reduce the
effects of voltage transients caused by interrupting the current to that device and to
prolong the life of the switch contacts.

1769-IT6 thermocouple input module

The module contains a removable terminal block. Channels are wired as differential
inputs. Two cold junction compensation (CJC) sensors are attached to the terminal
block to enable accurate readings from each channel. These sensors compensate for
offset voltages introduced into the input signal as a result of the cold-junction where
the thermocouple wires are connected to the module.

Important: For proper operation, the CJC sensors must be installed on the
thermocouple module.

1769-IR6 RTD input module

Each channel is individually configurable via software for 2- or 3-wire RTD or direct
resistance input devices. Channels are compatible with 4-wire sensors, but the fourth
sense wire is not used. Two programmable excitation current values (0.5 mA and 1.0
mA) are provided, to limit RTD self-heating.

Important: The module accepts input from RTDs with up to 3 wires. If your
application requires a 4-wire RTD, one of the two lead compensation wires is not
used, and the RTD is treated like a 3-wire sensor. The third wire provides lead wire
compensation.

When configured for RTD inputs, the module can convert the RTD readings into
linearized digital temperature readings in °C or °F. When configured for resistance
analog inputs, the module can convert voltages into linearized resistance values in
ohms. The module assumes that the direct resistance input signal is linear prior to
input to the module.

Description Connecting to Allen-Bradley I/O is convenient with Allen-Bradley Interface Modules

and Cables. Unlike conventional terminal blocks, they connect through pre-wired
cables to digital and analog I/O for the Bulletin 1746 SLC, Bulletin 1756 ControlLogix,
Bulletin 1769 Compact I/O for CompactLogix and MicroLogix 1500, and Bulletin
1771/PLC-5 platforms. The interface modules are mounted onto a standard DIN #3
Rail. Pre-printed adhesive label cards containing field-wiring information are
available for each interface module and I/O module combination. Wiring systems are
available for over 100 different I/O modules and over 50 analog modules. In addition,
we offer a custom wiring system program for those applications that do not meet your
system requirements.

Benefits Reduced Wiring Time

Wiring is completed in a fraction of the time when wiring systems are used as
compared with the traditional method of wiring each point to the I/O swing arm and
field-side terminal blocks. Pre-wired cables are factory-wired to the I/O wiring arm on
one end and a connector for the Interface Module (IFM) on the other. IFMs enhance
the capability of the I/O systems with added terminations, field-side LED status
indicators, isolation circuits, overcurrent protection, and higher amp outputs. Both
standard and specific build-to-order length cables are available, providing the correct
length for any panel in a neat, space-efficient wiring solution.

Reduced Wiring Errors

Wiring system cables are pre-tested to ensure 100% accurate connections and
eliminate the need for point-to-point checking of wiring. No more crossed wires and
loose connections between the I/O module and the terminal block. Even one error in
wiring 128 I/O points in a point-to-point system may require a complete check of the
wiring. Wiring errors can take several minutes to track down and correct before the
panel is ready for startup. When IFMs and cables are snapped in place, they fit every
time — no need to find the wrong or loose connection, resulting in a much higher
rate of success at system startup.

Faster Troubleshooting and Easier Maintenance

Normal terminal blocks can’t offer the benefits of IFMs, such as LED indication on
each I/O point. Wiring systems improve system startup and ease troubleshooting and
maintenance. Diagnostic capabilities in the form of fuses, blown fuse indication, and
field-side ON-State LEDs — in a reduced space — allow maintenance personnel to
quickly locate faults, reduce downtime, and improve overall productivity.

Publication 1769-SG002D-EN-P — May 2005

60

Increased Volume and Productivity

Cable interconnections for a wiring system can be up to 30 times faster to install than
traditional point-to-point wiring, enabling OEMs and panel builders using wiring
systems to build panels faster and produce more machines.

Reduced Wire Preparation and Routing

Pre-wired cables eliminate the time and costs associated with stripping and cutting
wires. Routing wires is much easier with wiring systems, since engineers only have to
worry about routing one pre-wired cable versus the 20 or 40 wires needed in the
traditional wiring method.

Labeling and Marking

Pre-printed, I/O-specific adhesive label strips for quick marking of IFM terminals save
labor compared with point-to-point wiring that requires labor intensive wire markers.
Pre-wired cables require no wire labels. Pre-printed I/O-specific labels ensure neat,
easy-to-read identification of wires and I/O points for all users.
The marking of traditional terminal blocks has even caused some OEMs to move
toward a high-tech approach of plotting markers, requiring additional equipment in
the form of a plotter system and a PC to run the plotter software.

Simplified Design
Design engineers can simplify their panel drawings by calling out an IFM and pre-
wired cable instead of having to detail every single wire and terminal block on their
drawings. Simplified panel drawings aid not only the installer, but also the end
customer who receives the panel.

Increased DIN Rail Density

An increasing trend in the industry is to pack more products into the same DIN Rail
space. Wiring systems support this trend, as they require less DIN Rail space than
traditional terminal blocks. For example, if an OEM were to use a 40-point IFM in
place of 40 terminal blocks, DIN Rail space can be reduced by more than 50%.
All IFMs have terminals for connecting the I/O field wiring. In addition, extra
terminal, sensor, fusible IFMs, and relay IFMs contain common terminals that are
used as power busses for sensor and actuators. No additional terminal blocks are
needed to provide power to the sensors/actuators — saving valuable panel/DIN Rail
space.
To further reduce panel space, narrow IFMs (i.e., Cat. No. 1492-IFM20FN) have been
designed. They require 45% less space than the standard length IFMs, making them
well-suited for tightly packed enclosures. The high density narrow IFMs have two
rows of 10 field-wiring terminals with an overall length of 60 mm (2.36 in.)

Publication 1769-SG002D-EN-P — May 2005

 61

Quality-Looking Panels
The pre-wired cables and IFMs organize the wiring in your panel and provide a
consistent look. Pre-printed adhesive labels for the terminals neatly identify field-
wiring connections, which correspond to the I/O module address. A large marking
area is also available for identifying I/O information on the IFM.

Fewer Parts, Less Inventory and Lower Carrying

Cost
A wiring system involves an IFM and the cable, versus the block, barrier, jumper,
markers, wires, and swing arms associated with traditional hardwired systems.
Therefore, it requires fewer components and, in turn, less inventory and lower
carrying costs.

Design Flexibility
To develop a cost-effective system, the hardware components must meet the needs of
the design engineer. Rockwell Automation provides the broadest range of digital and
analog systems in the industry. Allen-Bradley Wiring Systems deliver a lower life-cycle
cost.

Digital Interface Digital IFMs are available with either a 20- or 40-pin cable connector. This is
determined by the number of connections required for the I/O module.
Modules (IFMs)

40-pin Connection Interface Module

The number of terminals varies with the type of IFM — from one to four terminals
per I/O point.
Standard terminal IFMs provide one field-side wiring terminal per programmable

power connections. The standard terminals are ideal for applications where the I/O
device commons are terminated in the field or remotely from the I/O panel.

Standard Terminal Interface Module

Extra terminal IFMs provide two or four field-side terminals per input or output
point. Non-isolated IFMs have two terminals per input or output point. Isolated IFMs
have two or four terminals per input or output.

Isolated IFMs have terminals isolated into 8 or 16 groups, which allows each group
of I/O devices to reference a different power source. The extra terminal IFMs are
beneficial in applications where the I/O devices are terminated within the same panel
as the I/O modules — eliminating the need for many additional terminal blocks.

Extra Terminal Interface Module

Sensor IFMs provide three field-side terminals per input point. The middle and lower
rows of the terminals are commoned together in groups of 18, and serve as power
busses for 3-wire sensor types of devices — eliminating additional terminals, blocks,
and jumpering systems.

LED-Indicating Voltage-indicating LEDs are available on standard, extra terminal, and sensor IFMs.
The LEDs provide field-side troubleshooting diagnostics: the on/off status of an input
Digital Interface device or the on/off status of the programmable controller output circuit. When used
Modules in conjunction with the logic-side programmable controller LEDs, the IFM LEDs can
help determine whether a problem resides in the I/O module or in the field
device/wiring. LED IFMs are available in both Isolated (Cat. No. 1492-IFM20DS24-4)
and non-Isolated (Cat. No. 1492-IFM20D120) versions for 24V, 120V, and 240V

Fusible Digital IFMs Fusible modules provide a convenient method of adding overcurrent protections into
your programmable controller wiring. These modules have 5 x 20 fuse holders on-
board and are available with and without blown fuse indication. The 24V, 120V, and
240V blown fuse indicators reduce the troubleshooting time to locate and replace a
blown fuse on the IFM. Fusible modules have an easy-to-remove, transparent
Plexiglass cover that prevents objects from contacting fuse circuitry under normal
operation. Removal of fuses from the standard fuse holder is aided by fuse pullers
(fuses not provided). The fusible modules also have two or four terminals per I/O
point to create a power bus for input and output load connections. Fusible modules
are available in both isolated (Cat. No. 1492-IFM20F-FS24-2) and nonisolated (Cat.
No.1492-IFM20F-F24-2) versions. There are a select number of fusible IFMs available
for input modules.

Fusible Analog Fusible analog interface input modules provide a convenient method to fuse the input
power source on the field-side. The field-side power source is distributed through
Interface Modules individual on-board 5 x 20 fuse holders. The AIFMs have a 24V DC blown fuse
indicators to reduce the troubleshooting time required to locate and replace a blown
fuse. Fusible modules have an easy-to-remove transparent Plexiglass cover to prevent
objects from contacting fuse circuitry under normal operation. Standard fuse holders
reside in the IFM, aiding in the removal of a fuse with a fuse puller (fuses are not
included). Isolation switch plugs, or “dummy fuses”, are also available to isolate an
input circuit once power is removed. In addition, once the circuit has been isolated
and power restored, the input loop current can be measured in 2-wire transmitter
applications. The fusible modules also have three or five terminals per I/O analog
input point to create a power bus for device shield and power connections.
Analog fusible modules have an on-board DIP switch to easily connect unused inputs
to the module common — reducing wiring on the field side. You no longer need
extra jumper wires to properly terminate unused inputs as is recommended in
Bulletins 1746, 1756, 1769, and 1771 I/O. Inputs are jumped via a DIP switch on a
per channel basis.

Analog Pre-wired Bulletin 1492 Pre-wired Cables are designed to minimize control wiring in a panel.
Pre-wired cables, when used with an Analog IFM, replace the pointto- point wiring
Cables between Allen-Bradley programmable controller I/O modules and individual terminal
blocks. The pre-wired cables have a removable terminal block or wiring arm from the
PLC on one end of the cable and a D-Shell connector with a slide-locking mechanism
on the other to connect to the IFM. Most pre-wired cables use twisted pairs and all
have shield to aid noise immunity of the low-level analog signals. Most cables have a
prepared drain wire with a ring lug at the I/O module end of the cable for convenient
grounding of the cable shield to the chassis. They are 100% tested for continuity to
make a perfect connection every time. The analog pre-wired cables are offered in four
standard lengths of 0.5, 1.0, 2.5, and 5.0 m to fit a variety of applications. Other
length cables are also available as build-to-order products. Pre-wired analog cables
are available for many of the Bulletin 1746 SLC I/O, Bulletin 1756 ControlLogix I/O,
Bulletin 1769 Compact I/O for MicroLogix 1500, and Bulletin 1771 PLC-5 I/O
modules.

Relay and Expandable Modules

Relay and Expandable Interface Modules (XIM) were developed to maximize the
effectiveness of users’ applications that require output contact ratings greater than 2
A. Driving large loads up to 10 A for applications such as motor starters is now
possible with Bulletin 1492 Wiring Systems. In addition, the Relay Modules provide a
means to isolate output points.
The Relay and Expandable product line consists of a Relay Master module and
Expander Module(s) with expander cable. The Relay Master modules provide the
connection for the 20- or 40-pin cable connectors for the pre-wired cable. There are
five types of expander XIMs: eight-channel relay, sixteen-channel relay, eight-channel
fused, sixteen-channel relay with fusing, and eight-channel feed-through.
Expander Module capabilities are offered in eight-channel and sixteen-channel
increments. After using 8 or 16 channels of I/O for relays (master relay module),
design engineers can use expander modules for the other I/O point needs. The
flexibility means that they work with relays, fuses, and feed-through modules. In
addition, the expander modules can be added when system expansion is required.

Select expansion cables

How you orient I/O banks determines which expansion cables you need to connect
the I/O banks:
If you add a: And connect the chassis: Use this cable:✶
right to left 1769-CRLx
second bank
right to right 1769-CRRx
right to left 1769-CRLx
third bank right to right 1769CRRx
left to left 1769-CLLx
✶Where x = 1 for 1 ft. (305 mm) or 3 for 3.28 ft. (1 m)

MicroLogix 1500 Packaged Controllers

Use the 1764 MicroLogix 1500 packaged controller when Compact I/O is the
modular expansion I/O (8 modules maximum) for the base I/O. You can have up to
16 modules when you use the MicroLogix 1500 Series C processor with a Series B
base and RSLogix 500 (version 5.0 or greater).

If the power capacity of the embedded MicroLogix 1500 power supply is insufficient
to drive all the I/O modules in the system, a 1769 power supply can be used.

A maximum of one 1769 power supply and one communication cable can be used in
a MicroLogix 1500 system, allowing for two banks of I/O modules (one connected
directly to the controller, and the other connected via the cable). The local bank
(bank 0, which includes the controller) supports 8 modules and the expansion bank
supports 8 modules, for a maximum total of 16 I/O modules in one system. Each I/O
bank requires its own power supply (bank 0 uses the controller’s embedded power
supply.

Publication 1769-SG002D-EN-P — May 2005

86

Important: The expansion power supply cannot be connected directly to a controller

that has an embedded power supply, such as the MicroLogix 1500. It must be
connected using one of the expansion cables. Only one power supply (embedded or
expansion) may be used on an I/O bank. Exceeding these limitations may damage the
power supply and result in unexpected operation.

Checking the MicroLogix firmware revision

To use a MicroLogix 1500 controller with a 1769 Expansion I/O Power Supply, verify
that you have the following:

y MicroLogix 1500 Processor Catalog Number 1764-LSP, Series A, Revision C and

higher
y Operating System Version: Firmware Revision Number (FRN) 3 and higher

You can check the FRN by looking at word S: 59 (Operating System Firmware Revision
Number) in the status file.

Important: If your processor is at an older revision, you must upgrade the operating
system to FRN 3 or higher to use an expansion cable and power supply. On the
Internet, go to:

http://www.ab.com/plclogic/prodinfo/plcweb/products/mlogix/ABMicroIndex.html

to download the operating system upgrade. Enter MicroLogix 1500 and go to Tools
and Tips.

1769-ADN DeviceNet Adapter Module

Use the 1769-ADN DeviceNet adapter module when Compact I/O is the primary I/O
for the adapter (30 modules maximum). The 1769-ADN allows 1769 Compact I/O to
be used with a DeviceNet Master
Category Guidelines

y The 1769-ADN adapter can communicate with up to 30 Compact I/O modules on a single
DeviceNet node.

y You can have a maximum of three banks1 of I/O connected with up to two communication
expansion cables.

y The adapter supports a total of:

Capacity
180 words of input data from the I/O modules

180 words of output data to the I/O modules

724 words of configuration data for the I/O modules

y A typical 16-point input module uses one input word, and a typical 16-point output uses one
input and output word.
y The adapter must be the first and left-most module in the system (the first module of bank 1).

y I/O banks must be connected using a bus communication cable (e.g. 1769-CRL1).

y Each bank of I/O must have its own power supply.

y Each module type has its own distance rating (the number of modules from the power
supply). Each module must be within its distance rating. The 1769-ADN adapter has a distance
rating of four, therefore the adapter must be within four modules of the power supply.

y I/O modules are not required between either the adapter and an end cap or, between the
Configuration power supply and an end cap.

y An end cap terminator (e.g. 1769-ECR or 1769-ECL) must be used on the last I/O bank.

y Address slots contiguously left-to-right within each bank. (Power supplies, cables, and end
caps do not use an address.)

y A bank of I/O can have a maximum of 16 modules with a maximum of eight on either side of
the power supply, depending upon module loading of the power supply. The maximum
amount of current each bank supports in one direction (either side of the power supply) is:
2A at 5V dc and 1A at 24V dc.

Considerations for system expansion using power supplies and cables:

y Expansion power supplies must be used with the expansion cables.

y Only one power supply may be used on an I/O bank, with a maximum of 16
modules per bank.
y Using an expansion power supply on the same I/O bank as your MicroLogix 1500
controller or two expansion power supplies on the same bank may damage a power
supply and may result in unexpected I/O operation.

Validating system power

1. After you calculate the current consumed by your system, use the graphs on page
60 to verify that your power supply has adequate capacity for its bank of I/O modules.
Compare the graphs to your calculated totals for the following:

y total 5V dc

y total 24V dc

y total 24V dc sensor power (1769-PA2 only)

2. If your power supply load is at or near the limits of the allowable ranges shown in
the graphs on page 60, you must add an additional I/O bank.

Important: The additional I/O bank must include a power supply. An end
cap/terminator (1769-ECR or -ECL) must also be used if the I/O bank is the last in the
system.

Calculate system power requirements

Compact I/O power supplies distribute power from either side of the power supply.
For example, a 2A at 5V dc power supply (1769-PA2, -PB2) can provide 1A to the
right side of the power supply and 1A to the left. A 4A at 5V dc power supply (1769-
PA4, -PB4) can provide 2A to the right side of the power supply and 2A to the left.

DIn rails based on the number of
modules and the physical You can panel mount or DIN-rail mount a CompactLogix system. The CompactLogix
system must be mounted so that the modules are horizontal to each other.
y one end cap per controller system
If you separate modules into multiple banks, the banks can be vertical or horizontal
to each other.

If you decide to use a DIN rail, use steel, 35 x 7.55mm DIN rails (A-B part number
199-DR1; 46277-3; EN 50022). The DIN rails for all CompactLogix system
components must be mounted on a common, conductive surface to ensure proper
electromagnetic interference (EMI) performance.

Grounding the system

You can ground a Compact I/O system through the:

y non-coated, steel DIN rail

y panel-mount screw hole containing the ground strap

Dividing I/O modules into separate banks

If you divide the modules into multiple banks:

y the controller or adapter must be in the leftmost position of the first bank
y each bank needs its own power supply
y use expansion cables to connect the banks
y the last I/O bank requires an end cap

If you add a: And connect the chassis from: Use this cable:✶

✶Where x = 1 for 1 ft. (305 mm) or 3 for 3.28 ft. (1 m)

Add end caps

The controller or adapter is the leftmost module in the Compact I/O system. The
controller or adapter has built-in termination, so the leftmost end of the system is
terminated.

The final I/O bank in the Compact I/O system needs an end cap on the end without the
expansion cable.

Power supply distance rating

Modules can be placed to the left and the right of the power supply. As many as eight
I/O modules can be placed on each side of the power supply.

Each 1769 module also has a power supply distance rating (the number of modules
from the power supply). Each module must be located within its distance rating. See
the specifications for the module to determine its distance rating.

The CompactLogix controller has a power supply distance rating of 4 modules. The
controller must be the leftmost module in the first bank of the system. The maximum
configuration for the first bank of a CompactLogix controller is the controller and 3
I/O modules to the left of the power supply and 8 I/O modules to the right of the
power supply.
