Installation Guidelines
- Ensure the ControlLogix chassis is powered down before inserting or removing the 1756-IRT8I module to prevent damage to the backplane or module circuitry.
- Use appropriate shielded cabling for all thermocouple and RTD inputs to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI) in high-noise industrial settings.
- Maintain proper grounding practices for the chassis to ensure effective noise shielding.
- Verify that the module is fully seated in the chassis slot and that the retaining screws are tightened to secure the connection.
- Ensure adequate ventilation in the cabinet to manage the 4.6W maximum heat dissipation.
FAQ
What types of sensors can be connected to the 1756-IRT8I?
This module supports various RTDs, multiple thermocouple types (B, C, D, E, J, K, N, R, S, T, and L), and millivolt input signals.
Does this module require external power for the inputs?
The module draws its required power from the ControlLogix backplane. Refer to the current draw specifications (200mA at 5.1V and 150mA at 24V) when calculating total chassis power supply loading.
