Compact 5000 I/O Serial Module Overview
The Compact 5000™ I/O serial module provides two independent channels
that function as network interface via RS232C, RS422 or RS485 to serial
devices communicating on Generic ASCII, Modbus RTU/ASCII, DF1 or
DH-485 protocol.
The module has two channels that are independent of each other. The channels
can transmit data to and receive data from serial devices using the following
communication mode:
• Generic ASCII
• Modbus RTU/ASCII (Master/Slave)
•DF1
• DH-485
The serial module can reside locally in a CompactLogix™ 5380, Compact
GuardLogix® 5380, or CompactLogix™ 5480 system. The module can also reside
in a remote Compact 5000 I/O system accessible via an EtherNet/IP™ network.

Local I/O or Remote
I/O Modules
You can use Compact 5000 I/O modules as local or remote
I/O modules, with some restrictions that are based on the module and controller
type. Compatibility requirements apply and are described in Controller and
Software Compatibility on page 10.
Local I/O Modules
When Compact 5000 I/O Serial module resides in the same system as the
controller, it is a local I/O module. Local I/O modules are installed to the right of
the controller and exchange data with the controller over the system backplane.

Remote I/O Module
When a Compact 5000 I/O Serial module resides in a separate location from the
controller, it is a remote I/O module. Remote Compact 5000 I/O modules are
accessible over an EtherNet/IP network via a Compact 5000 EtherNet/IP
adapter.
Remote Compact 5000 I/O modules are installed to the right of the adapter and
exchange data across the remote system backplane. The data is exchanged with
the controller over the EtherNet/IP network.

Compact 5000 I/O Serial Module Operation
Ownership Every I/O module in a Logix 5000™ control system must be owned by a
controller, also known as the owner-controller. When the Compact 5000 I/O
modules are used in a Logix 5000 control system, the owner-controller performs
the following:
• Stores configuration data for every module that it owns.
• Can reside in a location that differs from the Compact 5000 I/O modules.
• Sends the I/O module configuration data to define module behavior and
begin operation in the control system.
Each Compact 5000 I/O serial module must continuously maintain
communication with its owner-controller during normal operation.

Chapter 2 Compact 5000 I/O Serial Module Operation
Construct a System Before you use your serial module, you must complete tasks based on whether the
modules are local or remote I/O modules:
Local I/O modules
Complete the following steps.
1. Install a CompactLogix™5380, CompactLogix 5480, or
Compact GuardLogix®5380 controller.
2. Install the modules to the right of the controller.
3. Install the end cap on the last module in the system.
IMPORTANT You must use a Compact GuardLogix 5380 controller if the
local Compact 5000 I/O modules include safety modules.
For more information on controller compatibility,
see Controller and Software Compatibility on page 10.
IMPORTANT The end cap in a CompactLogix 5380, CompactLogix 5480, or
Compact GuardLogix 5380 control system covers the exposed
interconnection on the last module on the DIN rail.
If you do not install an end cap on the last module on the DIN rail,
equipment damage or injury can occur.

Remote I/O modules
Complete the following:
1. Install a controller that is compatible with the remote Compact 5000
I/O modules.
2. Install an EtherNet/IP™ network.
3. Connect the controller to the network.
4. Install a Compact 5000 EtherNet/IP adapter.
5. Connect the adapter to the network.
6. Install the Compact 5000 I/O modules to the right of the adapter.
7. Install the end cap on the last module in the system.
IMPORTANT Remember, you must use a Compact GuardLogix 5380
controller or GuardLogix 5580 controller if the set of remote
Compact 5000 I/O modules include safety modules.
For more information on controller compatibility,
see Controller and Software Compatibility on page 10.

Chapter 2 Compact 5000 I/O Serial Module Operation
5069-ARM Address
Reserve Module
Every Compact 5000 I/O module has a unique node address in a system. As
modules are installed, the node addresses increment. The Logix Designer
application project includes modules in the I/O Configuration that correspond
to the physical modules.
If a module is not available during initial system installation and operation, you
can use a 5069-ARM address reserve module to reserve the slot in the system.
That is, you install the 5069-ARM address reserve module to reserve the node
address. The address reserve module remains installed until the I/O module is
available.
When you install the address reserve module, you also make sure that the
subsequently-installed modules are at the correct node address.
You use the corresponding entry in the Logix Designer application project to
reserve the node address. That is, when you add modules to the I/O
Configuration tree in the project, you add an address reserve module at the node
address that matches the physical module location.

Compact 5000 I/O Serial Module Operation Chapter 2
Power the Module Compact 5000 I/O modules receive the following power types from first
component in the system, that is, the controller or adapter:
• System-side Power - Powers the system and lets modules transfer data and
execute logic.
System-side power is provided through the Module (MOD) Power
connector and is passed to each module as it is added to the system.
System-side power is also known as MOD power.
• Field-side Power - Powers field-side devices that are connected to some
Compact 5000 I/O modules.
Field-side power is provided through the Sensor/Actuator (SA) Power
connector and is passed to each module as it is added to the system.
Field-side power is also known as SA power.
Power begins at the left-most device in the system and passes across the Compact
5000 I/O module internal circuitry via power buses, that is, a MOD power bus.
The left-most device is either a controller or an EtherNet/IP adapter, depending
on whether the Serial module is a local or remote I/O module.
For more information on how to power local Compact 5000 I/O modules, see
the following:
• CompactLogix 5380 and Compact GuardLogix 5380 Controllers User
Manual, publication 5069-UM001
• CompactLogix 5480 Controller User Manual, publication 5069-UM002
For more information on how to power remote Compact 5000 I/O
modules, see the Compact 5000 EtherNet/IP Adapters User Manual,
publication 5069-UM007.
IMPORTANT The Compact 5000 I/O Serial Module does not use SA power.
However, verify that the module is installed in a position where
SA power uses DC voltage.
IMPORTANT Remember the following:
• A system uses only one MOD power bus that starts at a
controller or adapter and passes across all modules that are
installed in the system.
• A system can use multiple SA power bus.The first SA power bus
typically starts at the controller or adapter, and
5069-FPD field potential distributors let you establish new SA
power buses in the same system.

Chapter 2 Compact 5000 I/O Serial Module Operation
5069-FPD Field
Potential Distributor
The controller or adapter, based on whether the module is a local or
remote I/O module, is the primary source of field-side power, that is, SA power,
in the system. However, you can use a 5069-FPD field potential distributor to
break field-side power distribution in a system and establish a new SA power bus.
Field-side power passes across the internal circuitry of the Compact 5000 I/O
modules beginning with the controller or the adapter. The field potential
distributor blocks the passage of field-side power from the left and functions as a
new field-side power source for the modules to the right.
