5380 controller.
2. Install the modules to the right of the controller.
3. Install the end cap on the last module in the system.

The end cap in a CompactLogix 5380, CompactLogix 5480, or
Compact GuardLogix 5380 control system covers the exposed
interconnection on the last module on the DIN rail.
If you do not install an end cap on the last module on the DIN rail,
equipment damage or injury can occur.
