50 mm (2 in.) of space on all sides for adequate ventilation.
Panel Mounting
Mount the module to a panel by using two screws per module. Use M4 or #8
panhead screws. Mounting screws are required on every module.
IMPORTANT
A 1769-ECR or 1769-ECL right or left end cap must be used to terminate
the end of the serial communication bus.
ATTENTION: During panel or DIN rail mounting of all devices, be sure
that all debris, such as metal chips and wire strands, is kept from falling
into the module. Debris that falls into the module could cause damage on
powerup.

Panel Mounting Using the Dimensional Template
Panel Mounting Procedure Using Modules as a Template
The following procedure lets you use the assembled modules as a template for
drilling holes in the panel. If you have sophisticated panel mounting equipment,
you can use the dimensional template provided on page 16. Due to module
mounting hole tolerance, it is important to follow these procedures.
1. On a clean work surface, assemble no more than three modules.
2. Using the assembled modules as a template, carefully mark the center of all
module-mounting holes on the panel.
3. Return the assembled modules to the clean work surface, including any
previously mounted modules.
4. Drill and tap the mounting holes for the recommended M4 or #8 screw.
5. Place the modules back on the panel, and check for proper hole alignment.
6. Attach the modules to the panel using the mounting screws.
7. Repeat steps 1…6 for any remaining modules.
DIN Rail Mounting
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)
•35 x 15 mm (1.38 x 0.59 in.; EN 50 022 - 35 x 15)
Before mounting the module on a DIN rail, close the DIN rail latches. Press the
DIN rail mounting area of the module against the DIN rail. The latches will
momentarily open and lock into place.
Spacing for single-wide modules 35mm (1.378 in.)
Spacing for one-and-a half-wide modules 52.5mm (2.067 in.)
Refer to host controller documentation for this dimension.

TIP
If you are mounting more modules, mount only the last one of this group
and put the others aside. This reduces remounting time during drilling
and tapping of the next group.

Replace a Module
To replace the module while the system is mounted to a panel or DIN rail, follow
these steps.
1. Remove power.
2. On the module to be removed, use a screwdriver to remove the upper and
lower mounting screws from the module or open the DIN latches.
3. Move the bus lever to the right to disconnect or unlock the bus.
4. On the right-side adjacent module, move its bus lever to the right to
disconnect it from the module to be removed.
5. Gently slide the disconnected module forward.
If you feel excessive resistance, check that the module has been
disconnected from the bus, and that both mounting screws have been
removed or DIN latches have been opened.
6. Before installing the replacement module, be sure that the bus lever on the
module to be installed and the bus lever on the right-side adjacent module
are in the unlocked (fully right) position.
7. Slide the replacement module into the open slot.
8. Connect the modules together by locking (fully left) the bus levers on the
replacement module and the right-side adjacent module.
9. Replace the mounting screws or snap the module onto the DIN rail.
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 are not required unless the mounting surface cannot
be grounded. Refer to the Industrial Automation Wiring and Grounding
Guidelines, publication 1770-4.1, for additional information.
TIP
It may be necessary to rock the module slightly from front to back to
remove it, or, in a panel-mounted system, to loosen the screws of
adjacent modules.

Wire the Module
Consider the following when wiring your system:
•Channels are isolated from each other.
•Use Belden 8761, or equivalent, shielded wire.
•Under normal conditions, the drain wire and shield junction must be
connected to earth ground with a panel or DIN rail mounting screw at the
analog I/O module end. Keep the shield connection to ground as short as
possible.
•For optimum accuracy, limit overall cable impedance by keeping your cable
as short as possible. Locate the I/O system as close to your sensors or
actuators as your application will permit.
•Load resistance for each voltage output channel must be equal to or greater
than 2K Ω..
Refer to Appendix 2 for wiring diagrams of each module.
Label Terminals
A removable, write-on label is provided with the module. Remove the label from
the door, mark the identification of each terminal with permanent ink, and slide
the label back into the door. Your markings (ID tag) will be visible when the
module door is closed.
TIP
In environments where high frequency noise may be present, it may be
necessary to ground the shield via a 0.1 µF capacitor at the load end and
also ground the module end without a capacitor.
ATTENTION: Miswiring of the module to an AC/DC source will damage
the module.
Be careful when stripping wires. Wire fragments that fall into a module
could cause damage at powerup. Once wiring is complete, make sure the
module is free of all metal fragments.

Remove the Terminal Block
To remove the terminal block, loosen the upper and lower retaining screws. The
terminal block will back away from the module as you remove the screws. When
replacing the terminal block, torque the retaining screws to 0.46 N•m (4.1 lb•in).
Wire the Terminal Block
When wiring the terminal block, keep the finger-safe cover in place.
1. Loosen the terminal screws to be wired.
2. Route the wire under the terminal pressure plate.
You can use the bare wire or a spade lug. The terminals will accept a 6.35
mm (0.25 in.) spade lug.
3. Tighten the terminal screw making sure the pressure plate secures the wire.
Recommended torque when tightening terminal screws is 0.68 N•m
(6 lb•in).

TIP
The terminal screws are non-captive. You can use a ring lug [maximum
6.35 mm (0.25 in.) o.d. with a 3.53 mm (0.139 in.) minimum i.d. (M3.5)]
with the module.
TIP
If you need to remove the finger-safe cover, insert a screwdriver 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.
