About the 1768 Power Supplies

The CompactLogix power supply provides power through the CompactLogix
backplane. The backplane is built into the 1768 and 1769 power supplies,
controllers, and I/O modules.

In addition to backplane power, both the 1768-PA3 and 1768-PB3 power supplies
offer a 24V dc external power supply terminal.

ATTENTION

• Touch a grounded object to discharge potential static.
• Wear an approved grounding wriststrap.
• Do not touch connectors or pins on component boards.
• Do not touch circuit components inside the equipment.
• Use a static-safe workstation, if available.
• Store the equipment in appropriate static-safe packaging when not in use.
