Install the Module
Insert the module into a POINT I/O terminal base that provides common
power, communication, and wiring connections for the SSI sensors. Use this
Series C module with the following.
•
ControlNet adapter
with RSLogix 5000 software, version 11 or later
•
DeviceNet adapter
•
EtherNet/IP adapter
with RSLogix 5000 software, version 11 or later
•
PROFIBUS adapter
Install the Mounting Base
The wiring base assembly (1734-TB or 1734-TBS) consists of a mounting base
(1734-MB) and a removable terminal block (1734-RTB or 1734-RTBS). You can
install the assembly, or just the mounting base. To install the mounting base/
wiring base assembly on the DIN rail, proceed as follows.
1.
Position the mounting base/wiring base assembly vertically above the
installed units (adapter, power supply, or existing module).
2.
Slide the mounting base down, allowing the interlocking side pieces to
engage the adjacent module or adapter.
ATTENTION:
POINT I/O is grounded through the DIN rail to chassis ground. Use
zinc-plated yellow-chromate steel DIN rail to assure proper grounding. The use
of other DIN rail material (such as aluminum and plastic) that can corrode,
oxidize, or are poor conductors, can result in improper or intermittent
grounding. Secure DIN rail to mounting surface approximately every 200 mm
(7.8 in.) and use end-anchors appropriately.
Slide the mounting base to allow the
interlocking side pieces to engage the
adjacent module or adapter.
