2 1
1 5
1. Disconnect power.
2. Check that the bus lever of the module to be installed is in the unlocked
(fully right) position.
3. Use the upper and lower tongue-and-groove slots (1) to secure the modules
together or to a controller.
4. Move the module back along the tongue-and-groove slots until the bus
connectors (2) line up with each other.
5. Push the bus lever back slightly to clear the positioning tab (3).
Use your fingers or a small screwdriver.
6. To allow communication between the controller and module, move the bus
lever fully to the left (4) until it clicks, making sure it is locked firmly in
place.
ATTENTION When attaching I/O modules, it is very important that the bus connectors
are securely locked together to be sure of proper electrical connection.
Securely locking together the bus connectors is required for use in
hazardous locations.
For more information on hazardous locations see page 4.
7. Attach an end-cap terminator (5) to the last module in the system by using
the tongue-and-groove slots as before.

8. Lock the end-cap bus terminator (6).
IMPORTANT You must use a 1769-ECR or 1769-ECL right or left end cap to terminate
the end of the serial communication bus. An I/O configuration fault will
occur if an end cap is not used.
Replace a Single Module Within a System

The module can be replaced while the system is mounted to a panel or DIN rail.
1. Remove power.
See Remove Power on page 3.
2. Remove the upper and lower mounting screws from the module or open the
DIN latches using a flat-blade or Phillips screwdriver.
3. Move the bus lever to the right to disconnect or unlock the bus.
4. On the right-side adjacent module, move its bus lever to the right (unlock)
to disconnect it from the module to be removed.
5. Gently slide the disconnected module forward.

If you feel excessive resistance, check that the module is disconnected from
the bus and that both mounting screws are removed or DIN latches opened.
TIP It may be necessary to rock the module slightly from front to back
to remove it, or, in a panel-mounted system, to loosen the screws
of adjacent modules.
6. Be sure that the bus lever on the module and on the right-side adjacent
module are in the unlocked (fully right) position before installing the
replacement module.
7. Slide the replacement module into the open slot.
8. Connect the modules by locking (fully left) the bus levers on the
replacement module and the right-side adjacent module.
9. Replace the mounting screws or snap the module onto the DIN rail.

Mounting Expansion I/O
ATTENTION During panel or DIN rail mounting of all devices, be sure that all debris,
that is, metal chips or wire strands, is kept from falling into the module.
Debris that falls into the module could cause damage when cycling
power.
Minimum Spacing
Maintain spacing from enclosure walls, wireways, or adjacent equipment. Allow
50 mm (2 in.) of space on all sides for adequate ventilation, as shown.

Mount the Module to a Panel

Mount the module to a panel using two screws per module. Use M4 or #8 panhead
screws. Mounting screws are required on every module.

Use the Dimensional Template

Spacing for single-wide modules 35 mm (1.378 in.)
Spacing for one-and-a-half wide modules 52.5 mm (2.067 in.)
Refer to host controller documentation for this dimension.
NOTE: Overall spacing

tolerance ±0.44 mm (0.016 in.)
Locate holes every 17.5 mm (0.689 in.) to allow for a mix of single-wide and
one-and-a-half-wide modules (for example, the 1769-OA16 module).
Use Modules as a Template
This procedure lets you use the assembled modules as a template for drilling holes
in the panel. See Use the Dimensional Template if you have sophisticated panel
mounting equipment.
On a clean work surface, assemble no more than three modules.
Due to module-mounting hole tolerance, it is important to follow this procedure.
1. Using the assembled modules as a template, carefully mark the center of all
module-mounting holes on the panel.
2. Return the assembled modules to the clean work surface, including any
previously mounted modules.
3. Drill and tap the mounting holes for the recommended M4 or #8 screws.
4. Place the modules back on the panel, and check for proper hole alignment.
5. Attach the modules to the panel using the mounting screws.
TIP If you are mounting more modules, mount only the last one of this
group and put the others aside. This reduces the remounting time
during drilling and tapping of the next group.
6. Repeat steps 1…6 for any remaining modules.

Mount the Module to a DIN Rail

The module can be mounted using these DIN rails:
• 35 x 7.5 mm (EN 50 022 - 35 x 7.5)
• 35 x 15 mm (EN 50 022 - 35 x 15)
To mount the module on a DIN rail, follow these steps.
1. Close the DIN rail latches.
2. Press the DIN rail mounting area of the module against the DIN rail.
The latches will momentarily open and lock into place.
Making Field Wiring Connections

Use the information in this section to wire the module.
• Grounding the module
• System wiring guidelines
• Input sensors/transmitters wiring
• Terminal labels
• Finger-safe terminal block wiring and removal
• Wire size and terminal screw torque
Grounding the Module

This product is intended to be mounted to a well-grounded mounting surface such
as a metal panel. Additional grounding connections from the module’s mounting
tabs or DIN rail, if used, are not required unless the mounting surface cannot be
grounded. Refer to Industrial Automation Wiring and Grounding Guidelines,
publication 1770-4.1, for additional information.

System Wiring Guidelines

Consider the following when wiring your system:
• All module commons (COM) are connected in the analog module.
• The analog common (COM) is not connected to earth ground inside the
module.
• Channels are not isolated from each other.
• Use Belden 8761, or equivalent, shielded wire.
• Under normal conditions, the drain wire and shield junction must be
connected to earth ground via a panel or DIN rail mounting screw at the
analog I/O module end. Keep the shield connection to ground as short as
possible.(1)
• To ensure optimum accuracy, limit overall cable impedance by keeping your
cable as short as possible. Locate the I/O system as close to your sensors or
actuators as your application will permit.(2)
• If multiple power supplies are used with analog inputs, the power supply
commons must be connected.
• The 1769-IF16C module does not provide loop power for analog inputs. Use
a Class 2-rated power supply that matches the input transmitter
specifications.
• Voltages on the IN+ terminals of the 1769-IF16C module must be within
+/-10V DC of analog common.
ATTENTION Be careful when stripping wires. Wire fragments that fall into a
module could cause damage at power up. Once wiring is complete,
ensure the module is free of all metal fragments.
(1) In environments where high-frequency noise may be present, it may be necessary to directly ground cable shields to earth
at the module end and via a 0.1 µF capacitor at the sensor end.
(2) Cable length over 50 m (164 ft) may impact accuracy. For details, refer to the Compact High-Density Analog Input Modules
User Manual, publication 1769-UM018.

Label the Terminals

A removable, write-on label is provided with the module. Remove the label from
the door, mark the identification of each terminal with permanent ink, and slide the
label back into the door. Your markings (ID tag) will be visible when the module
door is closed.
Remove the Finger-safe Terminal Block

When wiring field devices to the module, it is not necessary to remove the terminal
block. If you remove the terminal block, use the write-on label on the side of the
terminal block to identify the module slot location and type.
R SLOT # ____ L
MODULE TYPE _____ RoHS
To remove the terminal block, loosen the upper and lower retaining screws. The
terminal block will back away from the module as you remove the screws. When
replacing the terminal block, torque the retaining screws to 0.46 N•m (4.1 in•lbs).

Wire the Finger-safe Terminal Block
Upper Retaining Screw
Lower Retaining Screw
When wiring the terminal block, keep the finger-safe cover in place.
1. Loosen the terminal screws to be wired.
2. Route the wire under the terminal pressure plate.

You can use the bare wire or a spade lug. The terminals will accept a
6.35 mm (0.25 in.) spade lug.
TIP The terminal screws are non-captive. Therefore, it is possible

to use a ring lug [maximum 1/4 inch o.d. with a 0.139 inch
minimum i.d. (M3.5)] with the module.
3. Tighten the terminal screw making sure the pressure plate secures the wire.
Recommended torque when tightening terminal screws is 0.68 N•m
(6 in•lbs).
TIP If you need to remove the finger-safe cover, insert a screw

driver into one of the square wiring holes and gently pry the
cover off. If you wire the terminal block with the finger-safe
cover removed, you will not be able to put it back on the
terminal block because the wires will be in the way.
Wire Size and Terminal Screw Torque

Each terminal accepts two wires with the following restrictions:.
Wire Type Wire Size Terminal Screw Retaining Screw
Torque Torque
Solid Cu-90 °C (194 °F) #14…#22 AWG 0.68 N•m (6 in•lb) 0.46 N•m (4.1 in•lb)
Stranded Cu-90 °C (194 °F) #16…#22 AWG 0.68 N•m (6 in•lb) 0.46 N•m (4.1 in•lb)

during initial configuration of the system. In that case, graphical screens provided
by the programming software simplify configuration.
Some systems, like the 1769-ADN DeviceNet adapter system, also allow the bits to
be altered as part of the control program using communication rungs. In that case,
it is necessary to understand the bit arrangement.
