Installing the Linear Positioning Module
This chapter tells you how to install the module in the I/O chassis and how to
configure the module’s analog outputs by setting DIP switches. Before you
install the module:
make sure your power supply is adequate
plan your module’s location in the I/O chassis
take steps to avoid electrostatic discharge
Avoiding Backplane Power Supply Overload
Make sure your power supply can handle the extra load before installing the
module in your I/O chassis. Add the module’s current requirement, listed on the
module’s label, to the currents required by other modules inserted in the I/O
chassis. If the backplane power supply rating is less than the total current
required, you’ll need a larger power supply.
Here are the current ratings for the various Allen-Bradley power supply
modules.
This Power Supply Module: Is Rated at:
1771ĆP1 6.5A
1771ĆP2 6.5A
1771ĆP4 8A
1771ĆP5 8A
1771ĆP7 16A
Planning Module Location
The module requires one I/O chassis slot. You can install it in any slot in the I/O
chassis. The module uses both the output image table byte and the input image
table byte that corresponds to its location address.
