Chapter Installing the Controller This chapter shows you how to install the DataSite controller. The only tool you require is a Phillips head screwdriver. Agency Certifications • UL Listed Industrial Control Equipment for use in Class I, Division 2, Hazardous Locations, Groups A, B, C, D •...
Installing the Controller Locate your controller as far as possible from power lines, load lines, and other sources of electrical noise such as hard-contact switches, relays, and AC motor drives. For more information on proper grounding guidelines, see the Industrial Automation Wiring and Grounding Guidelines, publication 1770-4.1.
Installing the Controller Use only the following communication cables in Class I, Division 2 hazardous locations. Communication Cables for Class I, Division 2 Hazardous Locations Description Catalog No. This 3.96 m (12 ft) cable has two 9-pin DTE connectors and is used 1747-CP3 to connect the RS232 channel (Channel 1 or 2) on the DataSite controller to a serial port on a personal computer.
Installing the Controller Disconnecting Main Power Explosion Hazard WARNING Do not replace components, connect equipment, or disconnect equipment unless power has been switched off. The main power disconnect switch should be located where operators and maintenance personnel have quick and easy access to it. In addition to disconnecting electrical power, all other sources of power (pneumatic and hydraulic) should be de-energized before working on a machine or process controlled by a controller.
Installing the Controller Power Distribution There are some points about power distribution that you should know: • The master control relay must be able to inhibit all machine motion by removing power to the machine I/O devices when the relay is de-energized.
Installing the Controller Input States on Power Down The power supply hold-up time as described above is generally longer than the turn-on and turn-off times of the inputs. Because of this, the input state change from On to Off that occurs when power is removed may be recorded by the processor before the power supply shuts down the system.
Installing the Controller Master Control Relay A hard-wired master control relay (MCR) provides a reliable means for emergency machine shutdown. Since the master control relay allows the placement of several emergency-stop switches in different locations, its installation is important from a safety standpoint. Overtravel limit switches or mushroom-head push buttons are wired in series so that when any of them opens, the master control relay is de-energized.
The DataSite controller is equipped with a non-replaceable lithium battery that is fixed onto a battery seat on the circuit board. Contact your local Rockwell Automation representative to IMPORTANT arrange for a battery replacement if the battery needs to be replaced.

Chapter Wiring the Controller This chapter describes how to wire the DataSite controller. Connectors on the DataSite The connecting terminal of the DataSite controller can be divided into three parts: Controller • Power supply input terminal • I/O signal wire connecting terminal, such as AI, DI, DO, AO, PI, Wake up, and HART.
Wiring the Controller Upper Board 38 39 P12 PI AOV+ AOV- AO0 AOV- AO1 AOV- 44625 Wiring Requirements This section contains recommendations and instructions for wiring the controller. Wiring Recommendation Before you install and wire any device, disconnect power to the ATTENTION controller system.
Wiring the Controller • Allow for at least 50 mm. (2 in.) between I/O wiring ducts or terminal strips and the controller. • Route incoming power to the controller by a path separate from the device wiring. Where paths must cross, their intersection should be perpendicular.
Wiring the Controller Screw-cage clamp terminal block 44756 Using Surge Suppressors Because of the potentially high current surges that occur when switching inductive load devices, such as motor starters and solenoids, the use of some type of surge suppression to protect and extend the operating life of the controllers output field effect transistors (FETs) or contacts is required.
Page 27
Wiring the Controller If the outputs are DC, we recommend that you use an 1N4004 diode for surge suppression, as shown below. For inductive DC load devices, a diode is suitable. A 1N4004 diode is acceptable for most applications. A surge suppressor can also be used.
Wiring the Controller Recommended Surge Suppressors Use the Allen-Bradley surge suppressors shown in the following table for use with relays, contactors, and starters.

Wiring the Controller Grounding the Controller In solid-state control systems, grounding and wire routing helps limit the effects of noise due to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Run the ground connection from the ground terminal of the controller to the ground bus prior to connecting any devices.
Wiring the Controller I/O Wiring For the orifice plate metering (AGA3), the input signals are differential pressure, static pressure, and temperature. For the turbine metering (AGA7), the input signals are pulse counting, static pressure, and temperature. The Datasite controller has 8-analog input channels (two channels also provide a HART point-to-point interface), a 13 device HART multi-point interface, and 3-channel pulse counting (PI) acquisition channels.
Wiring the Controller Wiring for Analog Input (AI) The analog input circuits are equipped with overvoltage and overcurrent protection to avoid damage due to false field connection. The field connection can be divided into two-wire system and three-wire system. There are two types of adjustable input ranges for analog inputs, 0…10V for the 1758-FLO301 and 1758-RTU201 controllers, and 4…20 mA for the 1758-FLO302 and 1758-RTU202 controllers.
Wiring the Controller Minimizing Electrical Noise on Analog Channels Inputs on analog channels employ digital high-frequency filters that significantly reduce the effects of electrical noise on input signals. However, because of the variety of applications and environments where analog controllers are installed and operated, it is impossible to ensure that all environmental noise is removed by the input filters.
Wiring the Controller Wiring for Digital Input (DI) Keep the DI effective high level input voltage range within 12…24V DC. The DI signal can be used to measure digital quantity such as the on/off state. DICOM DI0 12…24 V DC 44693 Publication 1758-UM001D-EN-P - June 2011...
