Install the Analog Output Module
Maintain spacing from enclosure walls, wireways and adjacent equipment. Allow
50.8 mm (2 in.) of space on all sides for adequate ventilation, as shown:
Figure 2 Module Spacing
Mount the Module on a DIN Rail
The module can be mounted using the following DIN rails: 35 x 7.5 mm
(1.38 x 0.30 in.) (EN 50 022 - 35 x 7.5)
or 35 x 15 mm (1.38 x 0.60 in.) (EN 50 022 - 35 x 15).
ATTENTION Do not remove protective debris strip until after the module and
all other equipment near the module is mounted and wiring is
complete. Once wiring is complete and the module is free of
debris, carefully remove protective debris strip. Failure to remove
strip before operating can cause overheating.
TIP 1762 expansion I/O is only mounted horizontally.
ATTENTION During panel or DIN rail mounting of all devices, be sure that all
debris (for example, metal chips and wire strands) is kept from
falling into the module. Debris that falls into the module could
cause damage when power is applied to the module.

Before mounting the module on a DIN rail, close the DIN rail latch. Press the DIN
rail mounting area of the module against the DIN rail. The latch will momentarily
open and lock into place.
Use DIN rail end anchors (Allen-Bradley part number 1492-EA35 or 1492-EAH35)
for environments with vibration or shock concerns.
Figure 3 DIN Rail Mount
Mount the Module on a Panel
Use the dimensional template to mount the module. The preferred mounting
method is to use two M4 or #8 panhead screws per module. M3.5 or #6 panhead
screws may also be used, but a washer may be needed to ensure a good ground
contact. Mounting screws are required on every module.
TIP For environments with extreme vibration and shock concerns, use
the panel mounting method described below, instead of DIN rail
mounting.

Wire the Analog Output Module
The output type selection, current or voltage, is made by wiring to the appropriate
terminals, Iout or Vout, and by the type/range selection bits in the Configuration
Data File (see page 14).
Consider the following when wiring your system:
•The analog common (COM) is not connected to earth ground inside the
module. All terminals are electrically isolated from the system.
•Channels are not isolated from each other.
•Use Belden 8761, or equivalent, shielded wire.
•Under normal conditions, the drain wire (shield) should be connected to the
metal mounting panel (earth ground). Keep shield connection to earth
ground as short as possible.
•To ensure optimum accuracy for voltage type outputs, limit overall cable
impedance by keeping all analog cables as short as possible. Locate the I/O
system as close to your voltage type sensors or actuators as possible.
ATTENTION Analog outputs may fluctuate for less than a second when power
is applied or removed. This characteristic is common to most
analog outputs. While the majority of loads will not recognize this
short signal, it is recommended that preventive measures be taken
to ensure that connected equipment is not affected.

Ground the Module
This product is intended to be mounted to a well-grounded mounting surface such
as a metal panel. Additional grounding connections from the module’s mounting
tabs or DIN rail (if used) are not required unless the mounting surface cannot be
TIP Grounding the cable shield at the module end only usually
provides sufficient noise immunity. However, for best cable shield
performance, earth ground the shield at both ends, using a 0.01
µF capacitor at one end to block AC power ground currents, if
necessary.

Wire the Finger-safe Terminal Block
When wiring the terminal block, keep the finger-safe cover in place.
Figure 7 Finger-safe Terminal Block
To wire the terminal block:
1. Route the wire under the terminal pressure plate.
You can use the stripped end of the wire or a spade lug. The terminals will
accept a 6.35 mm (0.25 in.) spade lug.
2. Tighten the terminal screw making sure the pressure plate secures the wire.
Recommended torque when tightening terminal screws is 0.904 Nm
(8 in-lbs).
3. After wiring is complete, remove the debris shield.
TIP If you need to remove the finger-safe cover, insert a screw driver
into one of the square wiring holes and gently pry the cover off.
If you wire the terminal block with the finger-safe cover removed,
you will not be able to put it back on the terminal block because
the wires will be in the way.

I/O Memory Mapping
The addressing scheme for 1762-OF4 is shown below.
(1) I/O located on the controller (embedded I/O) is slot 0. I/O added to the controller (expansion I/O) begins with slot 1.
Input Data File
For each module, slot x, words 0 and 1 contain the analog output module status
data for use in the control program.
The bits are defined as follows:
•SOx = General status bits for output channels 0 through 3. This bit is set
when an error (over- or under-range) exists for that channel, or there is a
general module hardware error.
•OOx = Over-range flag bits for output channels 0 through 3. These bits
indicate an input signal above the user range and can be used in the control
program for error detection. The module continues to convert analog data to
the maximum full range value while this bit is set (1). The bit is reset (0)
when the error clears.
•UOx = Under-range flag bits for output channels 0 through 3. These bits
indicate an input signal below the user range. They can be used in the
control program for error detection. The module continues to convert analog
data to the minimum full range value while this bit is set (1). The bit is reset
(0) when the error clears.
