Important User Information
Solid state equipment has operational characteristics differing from those of
electromechanical equipment. Safety Guidelines for the Application,
Installation and Maintenance of Solid State Controls (publication SGI-1.1
available from your local Rockwell Automation sales office or online at
http://literature.rockwellautomation.com) describes some important
differences between solid state equipment and hard-wired electromechanical
devices. Because of this difference, and also because of the wide variety of uses
for solid state equipment, all persons responsible for applying this equipment
must satisfy themselves that each intended application of this equipment is
acceptable.
In no event will Rockwell Automation, Inc. be responsible or liable for indirect

10 Module Operation
About the 1769-BOOLEAN
Module
The 1769-BOOLEAN module is a 24V dc combination input/output module.
The module outputs can be either directly controlled from your program or
independently controlled by the module using configured Boolean
expressions. These Boolean expressions are simple, logical combinations of
the module hardware input states and soft inputs controlled by your program.
When controlled by Boolean expression, the 1769-BOOLEAN module output
states can be conditioned using configured delay and duration settings. The
1769-BOOLEAN module supports interrupts to the system controller on
both input and output change of states(1).
The Compact I/O system is suitable for use in an industrial environment
when installed in accordance with these instructions. Specifically, this
equipment is intended for use in clean, dry environments (Pollution degree
2(2)) and to circuits not exceeding Over Voltage Category II(3) (IEC
60664-1)(4).
(1) Interrupts from the module to the controller may not be supported by all controllers. Refer to your controller's
user manual for more information.
(2) Pollution Degree 2 is an environment where, normally, only nonconductive pollution occurs except that occasionally a
temporary conductivity caused by condensation is expected.
(3) Over Voltage Category II is the load-level section of the electrical distribution system. At this level, transient voltages are
controlled and do not exceed the impulse voltage capability of the product’s insulation.
(4) Pollution Degree 2and Over Voltage Category II are International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) designations.
