7.

Slide the replacement module into the open slot.

8.

Connect the modules together by locking (fully left) the bus levers on the replacement
module and the right-side adjacent module.

9.

Replace the mounting screws (or snap the module onto the DIN rail).

Replacement Part

Terminal block, catalog number 1769-RTBN18 (one per kit).

System Wiring Guidelines

Consider the following when wiring your system:

•

Do not use the analog module’s NC terminals as connection points.

•

Channels are 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.

•

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.

•

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

•

The 1769-IF4I 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.

ATTENTION: Use supply wires suitable for 20 °C (68 °F) above surrounding
ambient.

(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.
