Digital I/O Conversion Module
(Cat 1492-CM1771-LD008F)
I. Description
This Digital I/O Conversion system provides for the conversion of (1) 1771, 16 point I/O modules to be converted 
to (2) 1756, 8 point I/O module and consists of the following:
(1) 1771 Modules (16pt) to (2) 1756 Module (8pt)
(1) Conversion Modules: 1492-CM1771-LD008F 
(1) Cable: 1492-CONCAB005S1 (Table 2)
(1) Conversion Mounting Assembly: 1492-MUA… (Table 1)
This conversion is accomplished without the removal of any field wires from the existing 1771 Swing Arm. The 
existing 1771 Swing Arm fits directly onto the edge connector of the 1492 Conversion Module. On one end of the 
1492 Cable is (1) connector for the Conversion Module. On the other end are (2) Removable Terminal Blocks 
(RTBs) for the (2) 1756 I/O modules, as shown in the photo below. The I/O signals are routed through the 1492 
Conversion Module and the 1492 Cable to the appropriate terminals on the (2) 1756 I/O modules per the Wiring 
Diagrams in Section VI. As standard, both portions of the 1492 Cables are 0.5M long, but we also offer a 1.0M 
cable length. Refer to the footnotes in Table 2, Section III for further details.
De-energize and lockout any and all power to all I/O field devices connected to the A-B 1771 I/O 
chassis, and the power to the 1771 I/O chassis itself. Ensure all power is de-energized and locked out 
to any device in the control cabinet where the conversion is to be performed. Ensure work is 
performed by qualified personnel.
