Overview

Distributed I/O
Overview
The Logix5550, PLC-5, SLC, and MicroLogix programmable
controllers all offer I/O that can be installed locally in the
same chassis as the processor. Thru the use of ControlNet,
DeviceNet, and Universal Remote I/O links for I/O
communication, this I/O in the ControlLogix, 1771, and 1746
platforms can also be distributed over a large area in
locations remote from the processor so that they can be
closer to sensors and actuators. Locating the I/O closer to
the sensors and actuators reduces wiring costs. If the
processor is capable of monitoring/controlling I/O located
remotely from it, at the end of the section on that platform you
are given information about what other kinds of I/O products
are compatible with that processor and what kind of I/O
communication link is needed to bring the processor and the
I/O together into a system.
Having the freedom to monitor and control I/O across an I/O
link means you can select I/O products from a variety of
platforms, not just from the local platform.
In addition to I/O in the ControlLogix, 1771, and 1746
platforms, Rockwell Automation also offers a wide selection
of more granular distributed I/O for use in your control
system. These range from simple 4-I/O blocks to 128-I/O
blocks and include intrinsically safe FLEX Ex I/O modules.
This section covers those additional Allen-Bradley I/O
selections. For I/O specific to a given control platform
system, see the section for that particular system.

Distributed I/O
1790 CompactBlock LDX, 1791D CompactBlock I/O Blocks
Advantages
A 1790 CompactBlock LDX or 1791D CompactBlock I/O
block is a compact unit for monitoring and controlling I/O in a
location remote from the processor.
• Compact design of hardware lets it fit into shallow
enclosures and confined areas.
• Locating I/O near sensors and actuators reduces wiring
costs and complexity.
• Distributed I/O at locations remote from the processor can
be connected across DeviceNet links.
• Node address switches and autobaud ease network
commissioning.
• Cyclic and change-of-state DeviceNet capability can
increase thru-put.
• Outputs have electronic fusing for which the outputs are
automatically reset as soon as the output load is reduced
to the specified range.
1790 Advantages
• A maximum of 48 digital I/O per node.
• Lower cost compared to 1791D I/O blocks (because of
lower specifications and functionality)
• Choice of D-shell connector or screw terminals for I/O
connections.
• Universal sink/source inputs.
1791D Advantages
• Selectable input filter times.
• Higher environmental specifications compared to 1790
I/O blocks.
• DeviceLogixt smart component technology provides
limited I/O logic decisions (including timers and counters)
for an intelligent I/O block. Because they don’t have to go
thru the I/O, scan the time for output response to input
change can be shorter, and can occur despite an I/O
communication fault.
Functional Design
A 1790 CompactBlock LDX or 1791D CompactBlock I/O
block contains a maximum of 16 digital I/O circuits. A base
block also contains a built-in power supply and a built-in
DeviceNet I/O adapter.
1790 Mechanical Design
The 1790 CompactBlock LDX I/O blocks can be mounted on
a panel or DIN rail in virtually any orientation. These I/O are
available in both base blocks and expansion blocks. An
expansion block cannot be used by itself; it can only be used
together with a base block. An expansion block does not
have a built-in power supply or built-in DeviceNet I/O
adapter; it must be connected thru a ribbon cable to a base
block. You can connect a maximum of two 1790 digital
expansion blocks to a 1790 base block. The 1790 I/O blocks
are available with either D-shell or screw terminal I/O
connectors.
1791D Mechanical Design
The 1791D CompactBlock I/O blocks can be mounted on a
panel or DIN rail in virtually any orientation. These I/O are
available in both base blocks and expansion blocks. An
expansion block cannot be used by itself; it can only be used
together with a base block. An expansion block does not
have a built-in power supply or built-in DeviceNet I/O
adapter; it must be connected thru a ribbon cable to a base
block. You can connect one 1791D expansion blocks to a
1791D base block. The 1790 I/O blocks are available with
screw terminal I/O connectors.
Communication
A base I/O block has a built-in DeviceNet I/O adapter port
that interfaces the I/O with a DeviceNet link to communicate
with a scanner port for a programmable controller processor.

1791 Standard I/O Blocks
Advantages
A 1791 standard I/O block is a compact unit for monitoring
and controlling I/O in a location remote from the processor.
• Compact design of hardware lets it fit into limited panel
space.
• Distributed I/O at locations remote from the processor can
be connected across Universal Remote I/O links.
• Locating I/O near sensors and actuators reduces wiring
costs and complexity.
• Replace 1791 standard I/O blocks without rewiring
connections
Functional Design
A 1791 standard I/O block contains digital or analog I/O
circuits, a built-in power supply, and a built-in Universal
Remote I/O adapter. I/O blocks are available in sizes of 16,
32, 64, and 128 I/O. Analog I/O blocks supply loop power for
analog-input current loops. Analog I/O blocks can be scaled
to engineering units. Analog I/O blocks are compatible with
Logix5550, PLC-5, and SLC processors.
Mechanical Design
The 1791 I/O blocks are designed for back-panel mounting.
Blocks of 16 and 32 I/O (except for relay contact outputs) can
be mounted vertically or horizontally on a panel or DIN rail.
Removable terminal strips on the standard I/O blocks make it
easy to replace an I/O block without rewiring.
Communication
A 1791 standard I/O block has a built-in Universal Remote
I/O adapter port that interfaces the I/O with a Universal
Remote I/O link to communicate with a scanner port for a
programmable controller processor.

Distributed I/O
1792 ArmorBlock I/O Blocks
Advantages
A 1792 ArmorBlock
I/O block is a compact unit for
monitoring and controlling I/O in a location remote from the
processor.
• Distributed I/O at locations remote from the processor can
be connected across DeviceNet I/O links.
• Locating I/O near sensors and actuators reduces wiring
costs and complexity.
• Eliminates enclosure cost because of sealed housing.
• Low installation cost and easy to replace without rewiring,
because industry-standard mini-connectors are used for
connection to the DeviceNet network and output-circuit
power supply; and micro-connectors are used for
connection to each sensor or actuator.
• Isolated auxiliary power maintains output power to the
block if main power fails so that you can have the option
of holding outputs in their last state.
• Outputs electronically protected from failing shorted with
option to auto-restart or latch off.
• Complies with Open DeviceNet Vendor Association, Inc.
(O.D.V.A.) conformance test software.
Functional Design
A 1792 I/O block contains digital I/O circuits, a built-in power
supply, and a built-in DeviceNet I/O adapter. I/O blocks are
available in sizes of 2, 4, 8, and 16 I/O. DeviceNet I/O
update period can be shortened by transferring I/O values
only when a change-of-state has occurred. Electronic fusing
provides protection for output load devices and easy
resetting.
Mechanical Design
The 1792 I/O blocks are designed for back-panel or machine
mounting. Blocks can be mounted vertically or horizontally.
Enclosure costs are eliminated because each block is
packaged in a sealed housing rated for IP67 and NEMA 4X
and 6P. The 1792 I/O blocks are available in three
mechanically different types of packaging: the original
standard ArmorBlock, the ArmorBlock-LP (low profile), and
the ArmorBlock MaXum.
The standard ArmorBlock I/O blocks are available with either
aluminum or stainless steel connector shells. Blocks with
stainless steel connector shells can be used in chemical and
food-processing environments.
Blocks with an LP (low-profile) suffix in their catalog number
are available in an even more compact size than the
standard blocks.
Blocks with catalog numbers starting with 1792D to
designate ArmorBlock MaXum also have a compact style
with a low profile; but each requires a separate base for
providing connection to a DeviceNet trunk or drop cable.
With the separate base, you have more choices of how to
connect to the network and the power source.
I/O Block
30780-M
Base
Communication
A 1792 I/O block has a built-in DeviceNet I/O adapter port
that interfaces the I/O with a DeviceNet link to communicate
with a scanner port for a programmable controller processor.
DeviceNet I/O update period can be shortened by
transferring I/O values only when a change-of-state has
occurred.

Distributed I/O
1734 POINT I/O Modules
Advantages
POINT I/O products provide a compact assembly containing
extremely modular I/O for a flexible physical configuration.
• Modularity of I/O and the backplane.
• Compact design of hardware lets it fit into limited panel
space.
• Distributed I/O at locations remote from the processor can
be connected across DeviceNet or PROFIBUS I/O links.
• Locating I/O near sensors and actuators reduces wiring
costs and complexity, and improves signal-to-noise ratio.
• Removal and insertion under backplane power of any
1734 I/O module without disruption of any other modules
in the system makes it possible to replace a failed module
while keeping the rest of the system running.
• Replace 1734 I/O modules without rewiring connections
because you can unplug the I/O module and its
removable terminal block (RTB) separately from the
separate base.
• The module assembly is suitable for either horizontal or
vertical mounting.
Functional Design
POINT I/O modules offer 2 or 4 I/O each. You can plug
together a maximum of 64 I/O modules into a POINT I/O
assembly, for a maximum of 256 I/O per assembly. The I/O
modules are interfaced to a network thru a communication
interface (CI) or I/O adapter module that also contains a
built-in power supply that converts incoming 24V dc power to
the 5V dc backplane power. The I/O modules receive power
from the power-supply thru the backplane.
Mechanical Design
POINT I/O products are packaged in a modular I/O
assembly. For each I/O module, you mount a base onto a
DIN rail. You plug the I/O module into the base. You also
plug a removable terminal block (RTB) onto the base below
the I/O module. Mechanical keying of each module to its
base guards against applying improper voltage to the
module.
I/O Module
30880-M
Removable Terminal
Block (RTB)
Base (providing
backplane) mounts
onto DIN rail
An I/O adapter/CI is always a modular component of the
assembly, on the left end of the assembly. You snap the I/O
adapter/CI onto a DIN rail and slide each succeeding base
into position along the side of the adapter/CI or preceding
base. Each adapter/CI is limited to providing backplane
power for a maximum of 12 I/O modules in tandem. With an
I/O adapter, you can place a 1734-EP24DC expansion power
unit to the right of the 12th I/O module to provide backplane
power for an additional 12 I/O modules. You can continue
adding 12 more I/O modules in this way until you reach the
limit of 64. The 1734-EP24DC is not compatible with a CI;
therefore, a CI is limited to 12 I/O modules total.
Also running thru the I/O adapter, CI, or 1734-EP24DC and
the bases is a bus for I/O circuit power. You connect the
power to the I/O adapter, CI, or 1734-EP24DC and it is
distributed to the I/O modules thru this bus. For the I/O
adapter or 1734-EP24DC, you must connect 24V dc; and
any I/O modules connected to the right of it must have 24V
dc I/O circuits. For the 1734-PDN CI you must connect the
appropriate power for the I/O circuits of the I/O module
connected to its right. For the other CI modules, you must
connect the power specified for the built-in I/O circuits of the
CI. If the I/O circuits of some I/O modules need a power
source different from that connected thru any I/O adapter,
you must install a 1734-FPD I/O power distribution/isolation
module to discontinue the I/O circuit power bus so you can
apply the second I/O circuit power source thru the 1734-FPD
to the I/O modules to its right.
Communication
A POINT I/O adapter/CI module provides an interface for
communication between the I/O modules and a scanner port
for a programmable controller across an I/O link. Each
POINT I/O adapter/CI module communicates with the I/O
modules across the modular backplane made up of bases.
The 1734-PDN CI is not a DeviceNet node; but each I/O
module connected on a CI backplane and each CI module
with built-in I/O is a DeviceNet node. The 1734-ADN I/O
adapter is a DeviceNet node; its I/O modules are part of a
sub net, not additional nodes. The 1734-APB is a
PROFIBUS I/O adapter.

Provides 8 built-in input circuits and 8 built-in output circuits, interfaces these built-in I/O and I/O modules
to the DeviceNet link, and converts 24V dc DeviceNet power (350mA max) to 5V dc backplane power
(1.0A max). This module is addressed as a DeviceNet node for its built-in I/O. Plus, each of its I/O
modules is addressed as a separate DeviceNet node. Included with this module are five 1734-RTB
screw-clamp RTBs. To one RTB you connect the I/O power source specified for the built-in I/O. This I/O
power is distributed from this module thru the bases along the I/O power bus to the I/O modules to the

When placed between I/O modules, it breaks the continuity of the I/O circuit power bus so that the I/O
circuits of the modules to the right are isolated from the I/O circuits of the modules to the left. If all the I/O
modules you connect in an assembly with an adapter require the same I/O power, you don’t need an I/O
power distribution/isolation module. However, to use I/O modules of two different I/O power
requirements, you must place the I/O power isolation module in the middle with the I/O modules with the
one I/O power requirement on the one side of it and I/O modules with the other I/O power requirement on
the other. Included with this module is a 1734-RTB screw-clamp RTB. To this RTB you connect the I/O
power source specified for the I/O module connected to the right. This module provides continuity for the
backplane signals and the 5V dc backplane power bus.
1734-FPD
DeviceNet I/O Adapter Module
Interfaces I/O modules to the DeviceNet link and converts 24V dc I/O circuit power to 5V dc backplane
power. This I/O adapter is addressed as a DeviceNet node. But its I/O modules are not addressed as
separate DeviceNet nodes. Included with this module is a 1734-RTB screw-clamp RTB. To this RTB you
connect the 24V-dc I/O power source which is also converted to 5V dc backplane power. The backplane
power from this module is distributed thru the bases along the backplane power bus to the I/O modules
(12 maximum) to the right until a 1734-EP24DC expansion power supply module breaks the continuity of
the backplane power bus. The 24V dc I/O power is distributed from this module thru the bases along the
I/O power bus to the I/O modules (12 maximum) to the right until a 1734-EP24DC expansion power
supply module or 1734-FPD distribution/isolation module breaks the continuity of the I/O power bus.
1734-ADN
PROFIBUS I/O Adapter
Module
Interfaces I/O modules to the PROFIBUS link and converts 24V dc I/O circuit power to 5V dc backplane
power. This I/O adapter is addressed as a PROFIBUS node. But its I/O modules are not addressed as
separate nodes. Included with this module is a 1734-RTB screw-clamp RTB. To this RTB you connect
the 24V-dc I/O power source which is also converted to 5V dc backplane power. The backplane power
from this module is distributed thru the bases along the backplane power bus to the I/O modules (12
maximum) to the right until a 1734-EP24DC expansion power supply module breaks the continuity of the
backplane power bus. The 24V dc I/O power is distributed from this module thru the bases along the I/O
power bus to the I/O modules (12 maximum) to the right until a 1734-EP24DC expansion power supply
module or 1734-FPD distribution/isolation module breaks the continuity of the I/O power bus.
1734-APB
Expansion Power Supply
Module
When placed between I/O modules to the right of a 1734-ADN adapter, it breaks the continuity of the I/O
circuit power bus so that the I/O circuits of the modules to the right are isolated from the I/O circuits of the
modules to the left. It also breaks the continuity of the backplane power bus and converts 24V dc I/O
circuit power (0.4A max) to 5V dc backplane power (1.0A max) for the I/O modules to its right. Included
with this module is a 1734-RTB screw-clamp RTB. To this RTB you connect the I/O power source for the
I/O module connected to the right. This module provides continuity for the backplane signals. With each
1734-EP24DC you install to the right of a 1734-ADN, you can install 12 additional I/O modules.
1734-EP24DC

Distributed I/O
1793 FLEX Integra and 1794 FLEX I/O
Advantages
FLEX Integra and FLEX I/O products provide a compact
modular I/O assembly that is flexible in its physical
configuration.
• Modularity of I/O and the backplane.
• Compact design of hardware lets it fit into limited panel
space.
• Distributed I/O at locations remote from the processor can
be connected across ControlNet, DeviceNet, or Universal
Remote I/O links.
• Locating I/O near sensors and actuators reduces wiring
costs and complexity.
• Removal and insertion under backplane power of any
1794 I/O module without disruption of any other modules
in the system makes it possible to replace a failed module
while keeping the rest of the system running.
• Replace 1794 I/O modules without rewiring connections
because you can unplug the I/O module from the
separate terminal base.
Functional Design
FLEX I/O modules (1794) offer 4 thru 16 I/O each. FLEX
Integra I/O modules (1793) offer 2, 4, or 16 I/O each. You
can combine FLEX Integra I/O modules (1793) and FLEX I/O
modules (1794) in the same assembly. You can plug
together a maximum of 8 I/O modules (1793 and/or 1794)
into a FLEX I/O assembly, for a maximum of 128 I/O per
assembly. The I/O modules are interfaced to the I/O link thru
an I/O adapter module with a built-in 24V-dc-input power
supply. The I/O modules receive power from the
adapter/power-supply thru the backplane. The
120/230V-ac-to-24V-dc power supply
(1794-PS13,
) is also available for powering the
adapter/power-supply.
Mechanical Design
FLEX Integra and FLEX I/O products are packaged in a
modular I/O assembly. The I/O adapter is always a modular
component of the assembly. The same adapters are used
for both 1793 and 1794 I/O modules.
For 1793 FLEX Integra I/O, the I/O circuitry, the backplane
extension, and the terminal connection points for I/O wiring
are all together in a single integral I/O module.
1794 I/O Adapter on DIN rail
1793 I/O Module
For 1794 FLEX I/O, the assembly is even more modular.
The backplane is formed by modular terminal bases which
also provide terminal connection points for I/O wiring. I/O
circuitry is packaged in separate I/O modules. Each I/O
module plugs into an individual terminal base.
20251
1794 I/O Adapter on DIN rail
1794 Terminal Base
1794 I/O Module
The I/O adapter module plugs into the end terminal base.
You snap the I/O adapter and the terminal bases onto a DIN
rail and plug them together. The ac/dc power supply is
free-standing.
Communication
A FLEX I/O adapter module provides an interface for
communication between the I/O modules and a scanner port
across an I/O link. Each FLEX I/O adapter module
communicates with the I/O modules across the modular
backplane made up of 1793 I/O modules or 1794 terminal
bases. Each I/O adapter module also has a port that
communicates with a scanner port for a programmable
controller processor across either a ControlNet, DeviceNet,
or Universal Remote I/O link.
For more information on 1793 products, see the FLEX
Integra I/O Product Data, pub. 1793-2.1. For more
information on 1794 products, see the FLEX I/O Product
Data, pub. 1794-2.1.

1794 FLEX I/O Modules
For 1794 I/O, the assembly is even more modular. I/O are
packaged in I/O modules. Each I/O module plugs into an
individual terminal base. The terminal bases are modules
that make up the backplane and provide terminal connection
points for I/O wiring.

Description — The incremental encoder module is an intelligent I/O module that has 2 counter registers and a set of 4 inputs (encoder
channels A and B, plus inputs G and Z) for each counter register. The counter is compatible with input frequencies of 100k Hz maximum.
A low-pass filter lets you control the cut-off frequency. The count, the direction, and other status information are block-transferred to the
processor. Preset and other configuration information such as mode selection is block-transferred to the module. The channel A and B
inputs can be used for up/down counting in a quadrature mode (x1, x2, or x4). In another mode, the counter is incremented on each
transition of A with the direction controlled by B. G can be used to enable or disable counting. Z can be used to trigger a preset of the
counter register.

Module
Description — The pulse counter module is an intelligent I/O module that has 4 pulse-transmitter interface channels with differential
(12–24V dc) inputs. Each channel is able to count input frequencies of 100kHz maximum. The module’s primary use is accurate
high-speed counting of pulses from flow meters or density meters. Each channel has two 16-bit counters to use in either of 2 basic
modes. In one mode, one 16-bit counter is used to count the number of pulses received during a selected interval, and the other 16-bit
counter is used to measure the period of time it takes to receive a given number of pulses. In the other mode, the two 16-bit counters are
cascaded into a 32-bit counter used to measure the period of time it takes to receive a given number of pulses. The measured count and
period, and other status information are block-transferred to the processor. Configuration information is block-transferred to the module.

Module
Description — The very-high-speed counter module is an intelligent I/O module that has two 24-bit counter registers. The module has 4
outputs with turn-on times of approximately 25
ms. Any output can be used with either counter. The module has a set of 3 inputs (encoder
channels A, B, and Z) for each counter register. Each counter can be incremented at frequencies of 1.0MHz maximum. The channel A
and B inputs can be used for up/down counting in a quadrature mode (x1, x2, or x4). In another mode, the counter is incremented on
each positive transition of A with the direction controlled by B. The module can be used to measure the duration of an input pulse by
counting the number of internal clock pulses during the input pulse duration. The module can measure the rate of pulses received over a
period specified by a number of internal clock pulses. Each output can be controlled by various count comparisons. An output can also
be used for pulse-width modulation. In that mode, an internal clock is used to increment the counter, which is used to establish the
selected period; a value transferred from the processor is used to modulate the pulse width. The measured count and period, and other
status information are transferred to the processor. Configuration and control values are transferred to the module. This module is only
compatible with a ControlNet I/O adapter (1794-ACN15 or -ACNR15 series B or later).

1794 Terminal Base
1794 I/O Module
Each 1794 FLEX I/O module requires a terminal base that
you snap onto the DIN rail to the right of the I/O adapter. You
plug each I/O module into its terminal base.
Terminal bases make up a modular backplane for 1794
FLEX I/O modules and make up a modular terminal block for
I/O connections. Each terminal base provides backplane
connections between the I/O adapter module and I/O
modules. Each also provides terminal connection points for
an I/O module.
• Wire sensors/actuators directly to the terminal base.
• No space wasted for unused I/O module slots. You only
add the number of terminal bases needed for the number
of I/O modules.
• No space wasted for separate terminal blocks. FLEX I/O
terminal bases provide all the screw terminals you need
for two-wire or three-wire sensors/actuators in the same
compact space.
• You can mount the terminal bases in horizontal or vertical
rows.
• Alternatively, you can arrange your modular FLEX I/O
assembly in two rows. Use an extender cable (1 ft or 3 ft)
to connect the two rows.

1794 Power Requirements and Transformer Sizing
Power Requirements and Transformer Sizing
Each ac-input power supply generates a shutdown signal on
the backplane whenever the ac line voltage drops below its
lower voltage limit. It removes the shutdown signal when the
line voltage comes back up to the lower voltage limit. This
shutdown is necessary to help ensure that only valid data is
stored in memory.
The external transformer rating (in VA) of each power supply
is greater than its real input power (in Watts) because a
capacitor-input ac/dc supply draws power only from the peak
of the ac voltage wave form. If the transformer is too small, it
clips the peak of the sine wave; when the voltage is still
above the lower voltage limit, the power supply will sense this
clipped wave form as low voltage and could prematurely shut
down modules in the chassis.
In the following graphs, we display the backplane current
load or output current load on the vertical axis.
For the dc-input power supply, we display the input real
power in watts. For each ac-input power supply, we display
the input real power in watts, apparent power in VA, and the
transformer load in VA, each in a separate graph.
• Use the real power value in watts for determining the
amount of heat dissipation you will have inside the
enclosure.
• Use the apparent power value in VA for estimating power
cost.
• Use the transformer load value in VA of each power
supply plus all other loads on a transformer to determine
the required transformer size.

1797 FLEX Ex Intrinsically Safe I/O
Advantages
FLEX Ex I/O products provide an intrinsically safe (IS)
modular I/O assembly that can be located in hazardous
areas.
• Intrinsically safe I/O products can be mounted near
controlled equipment in the hazardous areas. This
eliminates the need for intrinsically safe barriers/isolators
between the I/O products and the controlled equipment.
• Modularity of I/O and the backplane.
• Compact design of hardware lets it fit into limited panel
space.
• Distributed I/O at locations remote from the processor can
be connected across ControlNet I/O links.
• Locating I/O near sensors and actuators reduces wiring
costs and complexity.
• Removal and insertion under power (backplane power
and I/O circuit power) of any I/O module without disruption
of any other modules in the system makes it possible to
replace a failed module while keeping the rest of the
system running.
• Rated for Class I Div 1 / Zone 1 to allow mounting in
hazardous locations.
• Conformal Coating of all FLEX Ex modules provides
protection against corrosive elements.
Functional Design
FLEX Ex I/O modules (1797) offer 4 thru 16 I/O each. You
can plug together a maximum of 8 FLEX Ex I/O modules with
a FLEX Ex I/O adapter, for a maximum of 128 I/O per
assembly.
In one configuration, the I/O modules are interfaced thru a
FLEX Ex I/O adapter module (1797-ACNR15) to a coax
ControlNet segment that is confined to the hazardous area
(page 15-33).
This coax ControlNet Ex segment is interfaced
thru a repeater adapter module
(1797-RPA, page 15-35)
and
fiber repeater module
(1797-RPFM, page 15-35)
to a
fiber-optic ControlNet segment which is fed thru from the safe
area. A FLEX Ex power supply
(1797-PS1N, -PS1E, -PS2N,
-PS2E, page 15-38)
powers the FLEX Ex repeater adapter
module, fiber repeater module, I/O adapter module, and I/O
modules individually. Each I/O module in turn provides the
power for its I/O circuits (sensors/actuators).
In a second possible configuration,
(page 15-33)
FLEX Ex
I/O modules in a hazardous area can be connected thru an
extender cable (1794-CE1 or -CE3) to a bus isolator module
(1797-BIC) in a safe area. The 1797-BIC is connected thru a
bus isolator connector (1797-CEC) and a FLEX I/O
backplane to a FLEX I/O adapter of any kind.
In a third possible configuration
(page 15-33)
, sensors and
actuators in a hazardous area can be connected to FLEX I/O
modules (connected thru a 1797-BIC and 1797-CEC to a
FLEX I/O adapter of any kind) in a safe area.
In a fourth possible configuration
, FLEX Ex I/O
modules in a hazardous area can be connected thru an
extender cable (1794-CE1 or -CE3) and a feed-thru
connector (1797-CEFTE or -CEFTN) into an explosion-proof
enclosure. Inside the enclosure, the feed-thru connector is
connected thru an extender cable (1797-CE1 or -CE3) and
thru a 1797-BIC and 1797-CEC to a FLEX I/O adapter of
any kind.
Mechanical Design
The FLEX Ex I/O assembly is modular. I/O circuitry is
packaged in I/O modules. Each I/O module plugs into an
individual terminal base. The modular terminal bases form
the backplane and provide terminal connection points for I/O
wiring. The I/O adapter module plugs into the end terminal
base. You snap the I/O adapter and the terminal bases onto
a DIN rail and plug them together. In a separate assembly, a
repeater adapter module (1797-RPA) and one or two
fiber-optic port modules (1797-RPFM) snap together on a
DIN rail. The power supply is free-standing.

Communication
A FLEX Ex I/O adapter module (1797-ACNR15) provides an
interface for communication between the I/O modules and a
scanner port for a programmable controller processor across
an I/O link. It is capable of redundant media operation. The
FLEX Ex I/O adapter module interfaces with the modular
backplane made up of terminal bases to communicate with
the I/O modules. The adapter port interfaces to a coax
ControlNet Ex segment in the hazardous area. The coax
ControlNet Ex segment within the hazardous area, in turn, is
interfaced thru a repeater adapter module (1797-RPA) and
fiber repeater module (1797-RPFM) to a fiber-optic
ControlNet Ex segment which can cross the boundary
between the hazardous area and the safe area. In the safe
area, the fiber-optic segment is interfaced to a coax
ControlNet segment to provide a path for communication with
a scanner port for a programmable controller processor.

1797 Terminal Base
1797 I/O Module
Terminal bases make up a modular backplane for FLEX Ex
I/O modules and make up a modular terminal block for I/O
connections. Each terminal base provides backplane
connections between the I/O adapter module and I/O
modules. Each also provides terminal connection points for
an I/O module.
• For each I/O module (8 maximum) snap a terminal base
onto the DIN rail to the right of adapter.
• Plug each I/O module into its terminal base.
• Wire sensors/actuators directly to the terminal base.
• No space wasted for unused I/O module slots. You only
add the number of terminal bases needed for the number
of I/O modules.
• No space wasted for separate terminal blocks. FLEX Ex
I/O terminal bases provide all the screw or spring
terminals you need for two-wire or three-wire
sensors/actuators in the same compact space.
• You can mount the terminal bases in horizontal or vertical
rows.
• Alternatively, you can arrange your modular FLEX Ex I/O
assembly in two rows. Use an extender cable (1 ft or 3 ft)
to connect the two rows.

1797 FLEX Ex Power Supplies
The intrinsically safe power supplies convert unsafe 24V dc
power into intrinsically safe power in a hazardous location.
The power supplies are built into explosion-proof housings.
The north American version of the power supply
(1797-PS2N) has threaded ports for bringing the unsafe
power wiring in from the safe area thru conduits. The
European version of the power supply (1797-PS2E) has a
flame-proof housing for bringing the unsafe power wiring in
from the safe area thru a compression seal.
You must use one of these intrinsically safe power supplies
to power the I/O adapter module, the I/O modules, and the IS
fiber hub. The intrinsically safe power supply has 4 power
outputs, each capable of supplying 8.5W maximum. The
output power is galvanically isolated from the source. Each
channel is independently intrinsically safe limited.

1798 FlexArmor I/O
Advantages
FlexArmor
t I/O products provide a hardened compact
modular I/O assembly that is flexible in its physical
configuration.
• Sealed housing rated for IP67 and NEMA 4X and 6PE
eliminate enclosure costs.
• Modularity of I/O and network connectivity.
• Compact design of hardware lets it fit directly onto the
machine.
• Locating I/O near sensors and actuators reduces wiring
costs and complexity.
• Low installation cost and easy to replace without rewiring,
because industry-standard quick-disconnect connectors
are used for connection to the network, the output-circuit
power supply, and each sensor or actuator.
• Removal and insertion under backplane power of any I/O
module without disruption of any other modules in the
system makes it possible to replace a failed module while
keeping the rest of the system running.
Functional Design
FlexArmor I/O modules offer 4 or 8 I/O each. You can plug
together a maximum of 8 I/O modules into a FlexArmor I/O
assembly, for a maximum of 64 I/O per assembly. The I/O
modules are interfaced to the network thru an I/O adapter
module with a built-in 24V-dc-input power supply. The I/O
modules receive 5V-dc logic power, 24V-dc input circuit
(sensor) power, and 24V-dc output circuit power thru the
backplane.
Mechanical Design
The FlexArmor I/O assembly is hardened and modular. I/O
circuitry is packaged in I/O modules. The I/O modules of an
assembly plug into a common base plate. Base plates are
available in sizes of 2, 4, 6, and 8 I/O module slots. You plug
an I/O adapter module and a field termination plug into the
left two slots of the base plate. The base plate holds the
modules in place and provides the backplane for the
assembly.

Plug
The FlexArmor I/O assembly is designed for back-panel or
machine mounting. Modules can be mounted vertically or
horizontally. Enclosure costs are eliminated because each
module is packaged in a sealed housing rated for IP67 and
NEMA 4X and 6P.
To maintain the environmental ratings, all slots on the base
plate must be filled. If you don’t install enough I/O modules
to fill all the slots, you must install a dummy module
(1798-N2) into each I/O module slot not filled by an I/O
module.
Communication
A FlexArmor I/O adapter module provides an interface for
communication between the I/O modules and a scanner port
across a network link. Each FlexArmor I/O adapter module
communicates with the I/O modules across the base-plate
backplane. Each I/O adapter module also has a port that
communicates with a master port across a network I/O link.
