I/O Module Wiring Options
There are two available methods for wiring most I/O modules: The ZIPLink wiring system or
hand wiring to the optional removable I/O module terminal blocks.
NOTE: The high-density 32-point and 64-point I/O module design requires the use of the ZIPLink wiring
system. Thermocouple and RTD modules are not compatible with the ZIPLink system and are shipped with
the terminal blocks included.
ZIPLink Wiring System
The ZIPLink wiring system is the recommended method, which allows quick and easy
connection using cables that are prewired to the I/O module terminal blocks at one end and
plug into a ZIPLink connector module terminal block at the other end. Use the tables on the
following page to specify your ZIPLink wiring system.
