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 or consequential damages
resulting from the use or application of this equipment.
The examples and diagrams in this manual are included solely for illustrative purposes. Because of the many
variables and requirements associated with any particular installation, Rockwell Automation, Inc. cannot
assume responsibility or liability for actual use based on the examples and diagrams.
No patent liability is assumed by Rockwell Automation, Inc. with respect to use of information, circuits,
equipment, or software described in this manual.
Reproduction of the contents of this manual, in whole or in part, without written permission of Rockwell
Automation, Inc., is prohibited.
Throughout this manual, when necessary, we use notes to make you aware of safety considerations.

North American Hazardous Location Approval
Environment and Enclosure
The following information applies when operating
this equipment in hazardous locations. Informations sur l’utilisation de cet équipement en environnements dangereux.
Products marked "CL I, DIV 2, GP A, B, C, D" are suitable for use in
Class I Division 2 Groups A, B, C, D, Hazardous Locations and
nonhazardous locations only. Each product is supplied with
markings on the rating nameplate indicating the hazardous
location temperature code. When combining products within a
system, the most adverse temperature code (lowest "T" number)
may be used to help determine the overall temperature code of
the system. Combinations of equipment in your system are subject
to investigation by the local Authority Having Jurisdiction at the
time of installation.
Les produits marqués "CL I, DIV 2, GP A, B, C, D" ne conviennent
qu'à une utilisation en environnements de Classe I Division 2
Groupes A, B, C, D dangereux et non dangereux. Chaque produit
est livré avec des marquages sur sa plaque d'identification qui
indiquent le code de température pour les environnements
dangereux. Lorsque plusieurs produits sont combinés dans un
système, le code de température le plus défavorable (code de
température le plus faible) peut être utilisé pour déterminer le
code de température global du système. Les combinaisons
d'équipements dans le système sont sujettes à inspection par les
autorités locales qualifiées au moment de l'installation.
WARNING EXPLOSION HAZARD -
• Do not disconnect equipment
unless power has been removed
or the area is known to be
nonhazardous.
• Do not disconnect connections to
this equipment unless power has
been removed or the area is
known to be nonhazardous.
Secure any external connections
that mate to this equipment by
using screws, sliding latches,
threaded connectors, or other
means provided with this product.
• Substitution of components may
impair suitability for Class I,
Division 2.
• If this product contains batteries,
they must only be changed in an
area known to be nonhazardous.
AVERTISSEMENT RISQUE D’EXPLOSION –
• Couper le courant ou s'assurer
que l'environnement est classé
non dangereux avant de
débrancher l'équipement.
• Couper le courant ou s'assurer
que l'environnement est classé
non dangereux avant de
débrancher les connecteurs. Fixer
tous les connecteurs externes
reliés à cet équipement à l'aide
de vis, loquets coulissants,
connecteurs filetés ou autres
moyens fournis avec ce produit.
• La substitution de composants
peut rendre cet équipement
inadapté à une utilisation en
environnement de Classe I,
Division 2.
• S'assurer que l'environnement est
classé non dangereux avant de
changer les piles.
ATTENTION This equipment is intended for use in a Pollution Degree 2 industrial environment, in overvoltage
Category II applications (as defined in IEC publication 60664-1), at altitudes up to 2000 m (6562 ft)
without derating.
This equipment is considered Group 1, Class A industrial equipment according to IEC/CISPR Publication
11. Without appropriate precautions, there may be potential difficulties ensuring electromagnetic
compatibility in other environments due to conducted as well as radiated disturbance.
This equipment is supplied as open-type equipment. It must be mounted within an enclosure that is
suitably designed for those specific environmental conditions that will be present and appropriately
designed to prevent personal injury resulting from accessibility to live parts. The enclosure must have
suitable flame-retardant properties to prevent orminimize the spread of flame, complying with a flame
spread rating of 5VA, V2, V1, V0 (or equivalent) if non-metallic. The interior of the enclosure must be
accessible only by the use of a tool. Subsequent sections of this publication may contain additional
information regarding specific enclosure type ratings that are required to comply with certain product
safety certifications.
In addition to this publication, see:
•Industrial Automation Wiring and Grounding Guidelines, publication 1770-4.1, for additional
installation requirements.
•NEMA Standards publication 250 and IEC publication 60529, as applicable, for explanations of the
degrees of protection provided by different types of enclosure.

Prevent Electrostatic Discharge
Before You Begin
This section contains information you should understand before installing the
CompactLogix packaged controller.
Restrictions
The maximum amount of expansion modules that can be used with the packaged
controllers is two. Within that limit, the number of expansion I/O modules that can
be attached to the packaged controller depends on the bus current draw of the
modules being attached.
Each packaged controller has a specified amount of available bus current as shown
in this table.
To determine the number of expansion I/O modules you can add, total the bus
current draw (maximum) of your planned expansion I/O modules and the end cap.
If your result is less than the packaged controller’s maximum available bus current,
you are within the expansion I/O limit of your packaged controller.
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.

Publication 1769-IN082A-EN-P - July 2008
Example of Expansion I/O Calculation:
In this example, these expansion I/O modules and bus current draws are planned
for use with the 1769-L23E-QBFC1B packaged controller.
The total bus current draw of the Compact I/O modules (310 mA) is less than the
total available bus current of the packaged controller (450 mA). These planned
expansion I/O modules are within the limits of the 1769-L23E-QBFC1B packaged
controller.
Parts (included with the packaged controller)
These components are included with your CompactLogix packaged controller.
Parts (optional, not included with the packaged controller)
In addition to the parts included with the packaged controller, you may choose to

Planned Expansion I/O Module Bus Current Draw, max(1)
(1) The maximum bus current draw specification for each Compact I/O module is available in the Compact I/O Selection Guide,
publication 1769-SG002. This publication also provides further explanation of and a table for the calculation of Compact I/O
power supply requirements.
