I. Module Description
The 1492-CM800-LD006 conversion module provides field wire signal conversion from a Modicon® B820-008, 10 
to 60Vdc, 8-pt output module to a ControLogix 1756-OB8, 10 to 30Vdc or 1756-OC8, 30 to 60Vdc, 8-pt output 
module. The conversion module provides the mating connections to the B820-008 swing-arm (terminal block) with 
the attached field wires. It routes those signals, via its 20-pin connector and a 1492-CABLEU pre-wired cable to 
compatible terminals of the 1756-OB8 or 1756-OC8. To maintain the functionality of the B820-008 output module 
the conversion module provides a mechanical fuse for each of the two power supplies (DC-0+ and DC-1+) on the 
1756-OB8 and 1756-OC8 (refer to the below Wiring Diagrams for details). 
II. Module Installation
The 1492-CM800-LD006 conversion module must be installed in a 1492 conversion base-plate and cover-plate 
assembly. The installation of the module into the assembly is explained in the Installation Manual that ships with the 
conversion assembly. For a list of compatible assemblies refer to Appendix A
