Compact I/O Expansion Power Supplies Before You Begin 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. We recommend that the controller remains powered even when the master control relay is de-energized.

Assemble the System 1769 Compact I/O power supplies distribute power from either side of the power supply. A 2 amp at 5V DC power supply (1769-PA2, 1769-PB2) can provide 1 amp to the right side EXAMPLE of the power supply and 1 amp to the left. A 4 amp at 5V DC power supply (1769-PA4, 1769-PB4) can provide 2 amps to the right side of the power supply and 2 amps to the left.

Compact I/O Expansion Power Supplies Follow these steps to assemble the Compact I/O system. 1. Disconnect your line power. The power supply does not support removal or insertion of modules under power. If you connect or disconnect wiring while the field-side power is on, an electrical arc can WARNING occur.
Compact I/O Expansion Power Supplies Mount an I/O Expansion Power Supply During panel or DIN rail mounting of all devices, be sure that all debris (for example, ATTENTION metal chips, wire strands) is kept from falling into the module. Debris that falls into the module could cause damage on power up.

Compact I/O Expansion Power Supplies Additional cooling provisions might be necessary when high ambient temperatures are encountered. Do not bring in unfiltered outside air. Place the Compact I/O system in an enclosure to protect it from a corrosive atmosphere. Harmful contaminants or dirt could cause improper operation or damage to components.

Compact I/O Expansion Power Supplies Mount a Power Supply on a DIN Rail The power supply can be mounted using the following DIN rails: • 35 x 7.5 mm (EN 50 022 - 35 x 7.5) • 35 x 15 mm (EN 50 022 - 35 x 15) 1.
• total 5V DC • total 24V DC • total 24V DC sensor power (1769-PA2 only) 3. If your power supply load is at or above the limits of the allowable ranges shown in the graphs, you must add an additional I/O bank.
Compact I/O Expansion Power Supplies Power Considerations The following sections explain power considerations for the Compact I/O system. Disconnect the Main Power Explosion Hazard - Do not replace components or disconnect equipment unless power WARNING has been switched off. If you connect or disconnect wiring while the field-side power is on, an electrical arc can occur.

Reload the user program following a power supply shutdown. To avoid unexpected operation due to 24V DC user power shutdown (1769-PA2 only), ATTENTION monitor the 24V DC user output with a 24V DC input channel.
Compact I/O Expansion Power Supplies Use a 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.
