Prevent Electrostatic Discharge

ATTENTION: This equipment is sensitive to electrostatic discharge, which can cause internal damage and affect normal operation. Follow these guidelines when you handle this equipment:

•  Touch a grounded object to discharge potential static.
• Wear an approved grounding wriststrap.
• Do not touch connectors or pins on component boards.
• Do not touch circuit components inside the equipment.
• Use a static-safe workstation, if available.
• Store the equipment in appropriate static-safe packaging when not in use.

ATTENTION: This equipment is not resistant to sunlight or other sources of UV radiation.

Removal and Insertion Under Power

WARNING: When you insert or remove the module while backplane power is on, an electrical arc can occur. This could cause an explosion in hazardous location installations.

Be sure that power is removed or the area is nonhazardous before proceeding. Repeated electrical arcing causes excessive wear to contacts on both the module and its mating connector. Worn contacts may create electrical resistance that can affect module operation.
Identify the Module Components
You received the following components with your order:

You received the following components with your order

• ControlLogix isolated contact module
• Removable terminal block (RTB) door label

If you did not receive these components, contact your local distributor Rockwell Automation sales office.
This module mounts in a 1756 chassis and uses a separately ordered RTB(a) to connect all field-side wiring. This module uses one of the following RTBs:

• 1756-TBCH 36-position cage-clamp RTB
• 1756-TBS6H 36-position spring-clamp RTB

Use an extended-depth cover (1756-TBE) for applications with heavy gauge wiring or requiring additional routing space.

IMPORTANT Before you install your module, you should install and ground a 1756 chassis and power supply, then order and receive an RTB and its components, for your application.

Power Requirements

This module receives power from the 1756 chassis power supply and requires two sources of power from the ControlLogix backplane:

• 100 mA at 5.1V DC
• 100 mA at 24V DC

Add this current/power value (2.9 W) to the requirements of all other modules in the chassis to prevent overloading the power supply. Field output supply power should be limited to 10KVA available short circuit power.

• The ControlLogix system has been agency-certified using only the ControlLogix RTBs (1756-TBCH,1756-TBNH, 1756-TBSH, and 1756-TBS6H). Any application that requires agency certification of theControlLogix system using other wiring termination methods may require application-specific approval by the certifying agency.

Install the Module

You can install or remove the module while chassis power is applied.

WARNING: When you insert or remove the module while backplane power is on, an electrical arc can occur. This could cause an explosion in a hazardous location installation.

Be sure that power is removed or the area is nonhazardous before proceeding. Repeated electrical arcing causes excessive wear to contacts on both the module and its mating connector. Worn contacts may create electrical resistance that can affect module operation.

1. Align the circuit board with the top and bottom chassis guides.
2. Slide the module into the chassis until the module locking tabs click.

Key the Module and Removable Terminal Block or Interface Module
Use the wedge-shaped keying tabs and U-shaped keying bands to prevent connecting the wrong wires to your module. Key positions on the module correspond to unkeyed positions on the RTB. For example, if you key the first position on the module, leave the first position on the RTB unkeyed.

1.  To key the module, insert the U-shaped band, as shown.
2. Push the band until it snaps in place.
3. To key the RTB, insert the wedge-shaped tab with a rounded edge first, as shown.
4. Push the tab until it stops.
5. Reposition the tabs to rekey future module applications.

Wire the Removable Terminal Block
Wire the RTB with a 1/8 inch (3.2 mm) maximum flat-bladed screwdriver before installing it onto the module.

WARNING: When you connect or disconnect the removable terminal block (RTB) while field-side power is on, an electrical arc can occur. This could cause an explosion in hazardous location installations.

Be sure that power is removed or the area is nonhazardous before proceeding.

Spring Clamp RTB

1. Strip 7/16 inch (11mm) maximum length of wire.
2. Insert the screwdriver into the inner hole of the RTB.
3. Insert the wire into the open terminal and remove the screwdriver.

Cage Clamp RTB

1. Strip 3/8 inch (9.5mm) maximum length of wire.
2. Insert the wire into the open terminal.
3. Turn the screw clockwise to close the terminal on the wire.

Wire the Module

You can connect wiring to your module with only an RTB. 1756-OX8I

ASSEMBLY

Assemble the Removable Terminal Block and the Housing

1.  Align the grooves at the bottom of the housing with the side edges of the RTB.
2. Slide the RTB into the housing until it snaps into place.

Install the Removable Terminal Block onto the Module

WARNING: If you connect or disconnect the removable terminal block (RTB) with field-side power applied, an electrical arc can occur. This could cause an explosion in hazardous location installations.

Before proceeding with RTB installation, make certain:

• power is removed or the area is nonhazardous.
• field-side wiring of the RTB has been completed.
• the RTB housing is snapped in place on the RTB.
• the RTB housing is closed.
• the locking tab at the top of the module is unlocked.

1. Align the side, top, and bottom guides.
2. Press quickly and evenly to seat the RTB until the latches snap into place.
3. Slide the locking tab down.

Check the Indicators
The indicators show individual I/O status (yellow) for each point and a bi- colored LED for module “OK” (red/green).

During powerup, an indicator test is done and the following occurs:

• OK’ indicator turns red for 1 second and then turns to flashing green if it has passed the self-test.
• I/O status indicators turn ON for a maximum of 2 seconds and then turn OFF

Status Indicators

Remove the Removable Terminal Block from the Module
If you need to remove the module, you must first remove the RTB.

WARNING: When you insert or remove the module while backplane power is on, an electrical arc can occur. This could cause an explosion in hazardous location installations. Be sure that power is removed or the area is nonhazardous before proceeding
