2. Align the end cap with interlocking system connector on the last terminal base in the system.
3. Push the end cap towards the DIN rail
4. Press the Locking tab until it clicks.
Wire the Terminal Base
The RTB of the terminal base assembly is wired according to the installed I/O module requirements. For more wiring details, refer to each
individual I/O module.
1. Confirm that all sources of power to the module and terminal base are turned off.
2. Strip insulation from the wires that you connect to the terminal base.
3. Connect the wires to the terminal base.
4. Connect I/O module wiring to terminals 0…15, 16…31, and 32…47 as indicated in individual I/O module installation instructions.
5. CV DC power to terminal SA+/+.
6. Connect V DC common to terminal SA-/-.
WARNING:
If you connect or disconnect wiring while the field-side power is on, an electrical arc can occur. This could cause an explosion in hazardous location
installations. Be sure that power is removed or the area is nonhazardous before proceeding.
