Module Location in Chassis

Modular Chassis Considerations

Place your 1746-NI16 module in any slot of an SLC 500 modular, or modular
expansion chassis, except for the extreme left slot (slot 0) in the first chassis. This slot
is reserved for the processor or adapter modules.

Fixed Expansion Chassis Considerations

Heat and Noise Considerations

Most applications require installation in an industrial enclosure to reduce the effects
of electrical interference. Analog inputs are highly susceptible to electrical noise.
Electrical noise coupled to the analog inputs reduces the performance (accuracy) of
the module.

Group your modules to minimize adverse effects from radiated electrical noise and
heat. Consider the following conditions when selecting a slot for the analog input
module. Position the module:

• in a slot away from sources of electrical noise such as hard-contact switches,

relays, and AC motor drives

• away from modules which generate significant radiated heat, such as the 32-point

I/O module (series C or earlier)

In addition, route shielded twisted-7pair analog input wiring away from any
high-voltage I/O wiring.

Operating Temperature Range

+0°C to +60°C (+32°F to +140°F)

IMPORTANT

The 2-slot, SLC 500 fixed I/O expansion chassis (1746-A2)
supports only specific combinations of modules. If you are using
the 1746-NI16 module in a 2-slot expansion chassis with another
SLC I/O or communication module, refer to the 1746-NI16

user

manual to determine whether the combination can be supported.
