Dimensional Details:
Mounting Module to MLC CPU Base or Expansion:
The MLE I/O modules are connected in series to a MLC1-E, MLC2-
E, or MLC3-E CPU base- up to a maximum of sixteen MLE I/O
modules.
Each IO module is designated a slot number (nn = 1-16) based
upon its location in relation to the MLC CPU base (i.e. the IO
module connected directly to the MLC base is Slot 1, the IO
module to the right is Slot 2, and so on.)
Each MLE I/O module is attached to the MLC CPU base or another
I/O module with a 20pin I/O interconnect plug located on the left
side of each module. In turn, the MLC CPU base or I/O module
has an interconnect jack located on the right side of the module
(remove the protective sticker).
To attach a MLE I/O expansion module, perform the following
steps:
1. Locate the two small white lock connectors above the
interconnect jack on the right side of the MLC CPU base
(or I/O expansion module).
2. Slide each lock connector out, along the length of the module.
3. Align the interconnect plug (on the MLE expansion module) and
insert into the jack of the MLC CPU base. Carefully compress
the two units until the interconnect plug is fully connected to the
jack.
4. Slide each lock connector back in (towards the module) until it
‘snaps’ into place.

Additional Resources:
Detailed instructions on the operation and installation of the MLC
Series are available in the MLC Series PLC Programming Manual
(P/N 1010-1054) and the I/O Module Guide for the PLC Series (P/N
1010-1055) that is included with the MAPware-7000 conguration
software.
MAPware-7000 also includes help les that provide detailed
information on using the conguration software.
This equipment is suitable for use in Class I, Division 2, Groups A,
B, C and D or non-hazardous locations only.
WARNING – EXPLOSION HAZARD – Do not disconnect
equipment unless power has been removed or the area is known
to be non-hazardous.
WARNING – EXPLOSION HAZARD - Substitution of
components may impair suitability for Class I, Division 2.
It is recommended that the user periodically inspect the sealed
devices used, check for any degradation of properties, and
replace as necessary.
Wiring Diagram for Analog Inputs:
Conguration:
Use MAPware-7000 to congure the expansion port, in which the
module is installed, using the module's model number.
The input (X and XW), outputs (Y and YW), and conguration (M
and MW) memory addresses are used to interact with the module.
These addresses are created according to the slot location of the
module, where nn refers to the slot number (ex. 01...16):

To congure the expansion module in your MAPware-7000
project:
1. Start a new project.
2. In the Select Product dialog box, select your MLC
base CPU model.
3. In the Project Information Window, expand the IO Allocation
folder, then click on the Expansion folder to display the current
IO Slot conguration table. Double-click one of the slots to
display the IO Allocation window:
Select the MLE model.
1. Check the “Add tags for XW, YW, and MW used for expansion
modules” option. The tags for the selected IO module are added to
the Tags database when you press the OK button.
2. Some MLE modules (ex. MLE-0808NH) have additional settings (i.e.
HSC or PWM) that can be congured by pressing the Congure
button.
Note: if the selected MLE module has no additional options, the
Congure button will not be present.
3. Check the “Download Conguration Settings” option. Any changes
that were made using the Congure button will be sent to the MLC
the next time you download your project.
In the Project Information Window, click on the Tags folder to view
the assigned tags for the selected MLE module, according to slot

The Input Conversion Enable is used to notify the MLC of any
changes to the conguration of the input channels. After using a
MW register to congure the operating mode, write a value of ‘1’
to this register.
Note: Reference the table listed above, when conguring each
Conguration Register (MWnn08-MWnn36).
