POINT I/O 5V DC and 24V DC Very High Speed Counter Module WARNING: For 1734-RTBS and 1734-RTB3S, to latch and unlatch the wire, insert a bladed screwdriver (catalog number 1492-N90 – 3 mm diameter blade) into the opening at approximately 73° (blade surface is parallel with top surface of the opening) and push up gently.
14 POINT I/O 5V DC and 24V DC Very High Speed Counter Module Remove a Mounting Base To remove a mounting base, you must remove any installed module, and the module installed in the base to the right. Remove the removable terminal block, if wired. WARNING: When you insert or remove the module while backplane power is on, an electrical arc can occur.
POINT I/O 5V DC and 24V DC Very High Speed Counter Module Wire the Module WARNING: If you connect or disconnect wiring while the field-side power is on, an electrical arc can occur. This could cause an explosion in hazardous location installations.
16 POINT I/O 5V DC and 24V DC Very High Speed Counter Module Communicate with the Module POINT I/O modules send (consume) and receive (produce) I/O data (messages). You map these data onto the processor’s memory. These modules produce 6 or 10 Bytes of input data (scanner Rx) and fault status data. These modules consume 2 or 4 bytes of I/O data (scanner Tx).
