Module Placement

Follow these requirements to determine proper placement of your
1768 controller, power supply, 1768 I/O modules, and 1769 I/O
modules:

Place the 1768-L4

xx controller so that it is the last module

(furthest away from the power supply) in the 1768 backplane.

The 1768 CompactLogix power supply distributes power from
the right side of the supply and must be the leftmost module
in the system.

Up to eight 1769 I/O modules can reside in the local bank.

The local bank is powered by a 1768 power supply.

Up to two remote banks of 1769 I/O modules may be
connected by using 1769-CRL

x extension cables.

Remote banks are powered by a standard 1769 power supply.

IMPORTANT

CompactLogix System Distance Ratings
Because the 1768 CompactLogix power supply works with the controller to
power a 1768 system, the distance rating in a 1768 CompactLogix system differs
from that in a 1769 CompactLogix system.
In the 1768 system, the distance rating is the distance between 1769 I/O modules
and the controller. In the 1769 system, the distance rating is the distance
between 1769 I/O modules and the power supply.
