Minimum Spacing
Maintain spacing from
enclosure walls,
wireways, adjacent
equipment, etc. Allow 50
mm (2 in.) of space on all
sides for adequate
ventilation, as shown:
ATTENTION
When attaching I/O modules, it is very important that the bus
connectors are securely locked together to ensure proper
electrical connection.
IMPORTANT
A 1769-ECR or 1769-ECL right or left end cap must be used to
terminate the end of the communication bus.
ATTENTION
During panel or DIN rail mounting of all devices, be sure that all
debris (metal chips, wire strands, etc.) is kept from falling into the
module. Debris that falls into the module could cause damage on
power up.
