Avoiding Electrostatic
Damage Electrostatic discharge can damage semiconductor devices inside this
module if you touch backplane connector pins. Guard against
electrostatic damage by observing the following precautions.
•
Wear an approved wrist strap grounding device when handling
the module.
•
Touch a grounded object to rid yourself of electrostatic charge
before handling the module.
•
Handle the module from the front, away from the backplane
connector. Do not touch backplane connector pins.
•
Keep the module in its static-shield bag when not in use, or
during shipment.
Determining Power
Requirements The module receives its power through the SLC 500 chassis backplane
from the +5V dc/+24V dc chassis power supply. The +5V dc
backplane supply powers the SLC circuitry, and the +24V dc
backplane supply powers the module analog circuitry. The maximum
current drawn by the module is shown in the table below.
Add the values shown in the table above to the requirements of all
other modules in the SLC chassis to prevent overloading the chassis
power supply. Refer to your controller’s User Manual for power
supply loading calculations and worksheets.
ATTENTION
!
Electrostatic discharge can degrade performance or
cause permanent damage. Handle the module as
stated below.

(maximum) when Using External
24V dc Power Supply
(1)
(1) The 1746-NO8I and 1746-NO8V output modules can use an external 24V dc power supply to reduce backplane
loading. To use an external 24V dc power supply, you must set your module’s jumper J4 as indicated in the
following section. To comply with the U.L. regulation, the external power supply must be rated N.E.C. Class 2.
NOTE: The external 24V dc power supply terminal block ground connection (DC COM) is connected to the SLC
power supply ground.
