Environment and Enclosure
Prevent Electrostatic Discharge
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 meters (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 or minimize 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, for additional
installation requirements, Allen-Bradley publication 1770-4.1.
• NEMA Standards publication 250 and IEC publication 60529, as
applicable, for explanations of the degrees of protection provided by
different types of enclosure.
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.

EDS File Requirements
Current functionality of CompactBlock LDX I/O blocks require current modular EDS
file for RSNetWorx for DeviceNet™ version 3.0 or later software.
These files are easy to install and are available online at:
www.ab.com/networks/eds/
EDS files for blocks with matching catalog numbers (for both D-Shell and terminal block
versions) are the same. Thus, on the website and in RSNetWorx for DeviceNet, there is
only one EDS file for both versions of the blocks. For example, if you want the EDS file for
1790D-T8BV8B, use the EDS file labeled 1790D-8BV8B.
The following information applies when
operating this equipment in hazardous
locations:

Publication 1790-IN011C-EN-P - January 2015
Install the CompactBlock LDX I/O
Follow these steps to install the block:
• set the node address on the base block.
• mount the base block.
• wire the terminal blocks.
•connectfieldwiring.
• connect the DeviceNet cable.
These steps are explained in detail in the following procedures.
Set the Node Address on the Base Block
Each base block comes with its internal program set for node address 63. To reset the node
address, adjust the switches on the front of the block. The two switches are most
significant digit (MSD) and least significant digit (LSD). The switches can be set between
00 and 63.
The base block reads the rotary switches at power up only. Switch settings between 64 and
99 cause the block to use the last valid node address stored internally.
Node Address Example
The node address may also be set through RSNetWorx for DeviceNet or a similar
configuration tool. When software configuration is used for the node address, the switches
must be set between 64 and 99.
Example: Node
Address is set at 11

Mount the Base Module
You can mount the base block to a panel or DIN rail. We recommend that you ground the
panel or DIN rail before mounting the block.
Dimensions
Mount on a Panel
For panel mounting, use these steps.
1. Place the block against the panel where you want it mounted.
2. Gently pull and position the expansion cover to the left.
3. Place a center punch, nail, or similar device through the mounting holes in the
block and make two marks on the panel at the lower-left and upper-right corners
of the module.
IMPORTANT
The RTD and thermocouple base blocks do not support any expansion
blocks.
WARNING: When used in a Class I, Division 2, hazardous location, this
equipment must be mounted in a suitable enclosure with the proper wiring
method that complies with the governing electrical codes.

System Wiring Guidelines
Follow these guidelines when wiring your system:
• use shielded, twisted pair wire to ensure proper operation and high immunity to
electrical noise
• to limit noise, locate RTD and resistance device signal wires as far away as possible
from power lines, load lines and other sources of electrical noise, such as
hard-contact switches, relays and AC motor drives
• under normal conditions, the drain wire and shield junction should be connected
to earth ground, via a panel or DIN rail mounting screw at the block end
• keep shield connection to ground as short as possible
• to ensure optimum accuracy, limit overall cable impedance by keeping the cable as
short as possible. Locate the I/O system as close to your field devices as your
application will permit.
RTD Wiring Guidelines
Since the operating principle of the RTD module is based on the measurement of
resistance, give special consideration when selecting the input cable. For 2-wire or 3-wire
configurations, select a cable that has consistent impedance throughout its entire length.

10 DeviceNet Base RTD and Thermocouple CompactBlock LDX I/O
Publication 1790-IN011C-EN-P - January 2015
When using a 3-wire configuration, the block compensates for resistance error due to lead
wire length. For example, in a 3-wire configuration, the block reads the resistance due to
the length of the wires and assumes that the resistance of the other wire is equal. If the
resistance of the individual lead wires are much different, an error may exist. The closer the
resistance values are to each other, the greater the amount of error is eliminated.
To ensure that the lead values match as closely as possible:
• keep lead resistance as small as possible and less than 25 
• use quality cable that has a small tolerance impedance rating
• use a heavy-gauge lead wire which has less resistance per foot
RTD Wiring Configurations
Three configurations of RTDs can be connected to the blocks:
• 2-wire RTD, which is composed of an RTD EXC (excitation) lead wire and a
RTN (return) wire
• 3-wire RTD, which is composed of a Sense and 2 RTD lead wires (RTD EXC
and RTN)
• 4-wire RTD, which is composed of a Sense and 2 RTD lead wires (RTD EXC
and RTN). The second sense wire of a 4-wire RTD is left open.
IMPORTANT
The RTD block requires three wires to compensate for lead resistance error.
We recommend that you do not use 2-wire RTDs if long cable runs are
required, as it reduces the accuracy of the system.
However, if a 2-wire configuration is required, reduce the effect of the lead
wire resistance by using a lower-gauge wire for the cable (for example, use
AWG #16 instead of AWG #24). The block’s terminal strip accepts
AWG #14 gauge wire.
IMPORTANT
To ensure temperature or resistance value accuracy, the resistance
difference of the cable lead wires must be equal to or less than 0.01 .

Connect the DeviceNet Cable
Follow these procedures when connecting the DeviceNet cable to the base block.
The required DeviceNet connector is not supplied with the block - you must purchase it
separately. There are three types of connectors that you can order directly from Rockwell
Automation or your local distributor:
•1799-DNETCON – 5-position open style connector
•1799-DNETSCON – 5-position open style connector with locking screws
•1799-DNC5MMS – 5-position open style to 5-pin micro male connector with
locking screws
1. Connect the DeviceNet wiring (drop line) to one of the DeviceNet connectors as
shown in the figure, noting that a color-coded wiring diagram is printed next to
the connector on the left side of the base block.
1. Attach the connector to the base block once you have properly wired
the drop line to the connector.
2. Use the locking screws on the connector to fasten it to the base block,
if applicable.
WARNING: If you connect or disconnect the DeviceNet cable with power
applied to this module or any device on the network, an electrical arc can
occur. This could cause an explosion in hazardous location installations.
Be sure that power is removed or the area is nonhazardous before proceeding.
