See the figures to familiarize yourself with major parts of the module, noting that the wiring base assembly is one of the following: • 1734-TB or 1734-TBS POINT I/O two-piece terminal base, which includes the 1734-RTB removable terminal block and 1734-MB mounting base.
Chapter 2: Installation and Wiring 2.4.2 Install Mounting Base During panel or DIN rail mounting of all devices, be sure that all debris WARNING (metal chips, wire strands, etc.) is kept from falling into the module. Debris that falls into the module could cause damage when power is applied to the module.
Chapter 2: Installation and Wiring 1. Using a bladed screwdriver, rotate the key switch on the mounting base clockwise until the number required for the type of module being installed aligns with the notch in the base. 2. Make certain the DIN rail locking screw is in the horizontal position. (You cannot insert the module if the locking mechanism is unlocked.) 3.
This releases the locking mechanism. 7. Lift straight up to remove. 2.4.6 Install a 1734-TOPS Base 1. Position the base vertically above the installed units, such as an adapter, power supply, or existing module. 2. Slide the base down, allowing the interlocking side pieces to engage the adjacent installed unit.
