The 1769 Compact I/O modules can be used as local I/O for a CompactLogix controller. Install the I/O modules on a panel with two mounting screws or on a DIN rail. The modules mechanically lock together by means of a tongue-and-groove design and have an integrated communication bus that is connected from module to module by a moveable bus connector.
Each I/O module includes a built-in removable terminal block with finger-safe cover for connections to I/O sensors and actuators. The terminal block is behind a door at the front of the module. I/O wiring can be routed from beneath the module to the I/O terminals.
When planning I/O communications, consider:
- which Compact I/O modules to use.
- where to place Compact I/O modules.
- how Compact I/O modules operate.
