Installation Guidelines
- Ensure the system power is disconnected before installing or removing the power supply module.
- Mount the module on a standard DIN rail or panel as per the CompactLogix system layout requirements.
- Maintain adequate clearance around the module to allow for proper ventilation and heat dissipation.
- Use appropriate wire gauges (22 to 14 AWG) for terminal connections to ensure secure electrical contact.
- Observe the power supply distance rating; do not exceed 8 modules on either side of the power supply to prevent bus power overload.
- Follow standard ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) precautions when handling the module to prevent internal component damage.
FAQ
What is the maximum number of modules this power supply can support?
The 1769-PA4 has a power supply distance rating of 8. This means you can connect up to 8 I/O modules on either side of the power supply, for a maximum total of 16 modules in the system.
Is the input voltage fixed?
No, the input voltage is switch-selectable between 85-265V AC or 170-265V AC, allowing the module to adapt to different regional power standards.
