System Wiring Guidelines

Consider the following when wiring your system:

All module commons (ANLG COM) are connected in the analog module.

The analog common (ANLG COM) is not connected to earth ground inside
the module.

Channels are not isolated from each other.

Use Belden 8761, or equivalent, shielded wire.

Under normal conditions, the drain wire and shield junction must be
connected to earth ground via a panel or DIN rail mounting screw at the
analog I/O module end. Keep the shield connection to ground as short as

possible.

(1)

To ensure optimum accuracy, limit overall cable impedance by keeping your
cable as short as possible. Locate the I/O system as close to your sensors or

actuators as your application will permit.

(2)

If multiple power supplies are used with analog inputs, the power supply
commons must be connected.

The 1769-IF4FXOF2F module does not provide loop power for analog
inputs. Use a power supply that matches the input transmitter specifications.

Differential analog inputs are more immune to noise than single-ended
analog inputs.

Voltage outputs (Vout 0+ and Vout 1+) of the 1769-IF4FXOF2F module are
referenced to ANLG COM. Load resistance for a voltage output channel must
be equal to or greater than 1K

.

Current outputs (Iout 0+ and Iout 1+) of the 1769-IF4FXOF2F module source
current that returns to ANLG COM. Load resistance for a current output
channel must remain between 0 and 500

.

Voltages on Vin+, V/Iin-, and Iin+ of the 1769-IF4FXOF2F module must be
within +/-10V dc of analog common.

(1)

In environments where high-frequency noise may be present, it may be necessary to directly ground cable shields to earth
at the module end and via a 0.1µF capacitor at the sensor end.

(2)

Cable length over 50 meters may impact accuracy. For details, refer to the Compact Combination Analog I/O Module,
publication 1769-UM008A-EN-P.

ATTENTION

Be careful when stripping wires. Wire fragments that fall into a module
could cause damage at power up. Once wiring is complete, ensure the
module is free of all metal fragments.
