FlexArmor 24V dc Sinking Input Modules 3 For specific information required by EN 61131-2, see the appropriate sections in this publication, as well as the following Allen-Bradley publications: • Industrial Automation Wiring and Grounding Guidelines For Noise Immunity, publication 1770-4.
FlexArmor 24V dc Sinking Input Modules Install the Modules into the Baseplate To install the modules into the Baseplate: 1. Hold the module at an angle and engage the top of the module in the indention on the rear of the Baseplate. 2. Press the module down flush with the panel until the locking lever locks. 3. Repeat these steps for each I/O module and each remaining Baseplate I/O slot. IMPORTANT I/O modules can be installed in any slot location to the right of the adapter module.
FlexArmor 24V dc Sinking Input Modules 5 Connect the Cordset to the FlexArmor Module These modules use 5 pin micro (12mm) style PCB mounted connectors. Four micro caps cover the I/O connectors on both modules. Remove the caps and connect your cables to the appropriate ports. Keep the caps in place on any unused connector to maintain the IP67 rating. Refer to publication no. 889-CP0021A-EN-P for compatible Rockwell Automation cables and cordsets. A pinout diagram for the connectors is shown below.
FlexArmor 24V dc Sinking Input Modules Communicate with Your FlexArmor System The FlexArmor DeviceNet adapter module supports multiple communication choices. The network master makes the actual communication choice. The choices are: Polled - data is sent by the adapter in response to received data. Strobe - data is sent by the network in response to the strobe command. The single bit allocated to the adapter in the strobe message is not used.
