Using the Removable
Terminal Block (RTB)

The Removable Terminal Block (RTB) is provided on all 12-point and
16-point discrete I/O modules and analog modules. They allow for
faster and more convenient wiring of the I/O modules. The modules
and the RTB are color-coded.

Replacement terminal blocks are available if they are lost or damaged.
See the replacement part list in chapter 11.
