Adaptable in size and configura. tion, it can monitor and control up to 128 input and ‘output (1/0) devices. (Refer to Figure 1.1) “The controller has a central control logic unit — the Mini Processor Module, and a number of user-selected 110 Modules, chosen for the number and types of 1/0 deviess in the application. By selecting the appropriate modules, a User assembles his Mini-PLC-2 controller around the re {uirements of his application. ‘The selected 1/0 modules and the Mini-Processor Module are all housed in a single Chassis which ean be mounted ‘within an enclosure of inch working depth, 1.1 PC Definition — A programmable controller (PC) isa solid-state logic control device for industrial applications. As the term “orogrammable” indicates, ine controller hae {an essential difference from hard-wired controls. Its loge function is determined by a user-entered program, which specifies how output devices operate in response to input devices. Because the program is stored In a read/write memory, 2 change in a controlled process ie accomplished by reprogramming rather than by extensive rewiring, 25 hard-wired control systems require ‘The controller continuously monitors the status of devices connected as inputs, Based on user program instructions, the controller then controls the devices connected a8 out: puts. Input and output devices may be of several types, with various voltage and current ranges. These devices ‘may include any of the following * Limit, float, selector, and pressure switches © Thumbwheel switches * Push buttons * Alarms, indicators, and annunciator panels + Solenoids ‘¢ Motors and motor starters 1 Transducers © Various solid-state devices, including TTL-compatible instrumentation ‘The controller stores all I/O device status data in a central read/write memory. This allows the controller full access to the latest status data in the application. Operations Which can be performed based on this data include the following: ‘Timing (1.0, and 0.1- and 0.01-second time bases) ‘© Counting ‘= Arithmetic operations * Comparison * Data manipulation The Mini-PLC-2 controller program uses readily under standable symbols in a simple format — the ladder dia gram. Manual entry of the ladder diagram program is done through a Program Panel. This device is also used to edit the program and monitor 1/0 device status. In addition, Program Panels can be used to interface the Mini PLC. controller with 2 peripheral data terminal. Data terminals include tape punches/readers, Keybaard/printers, and the Digital Cassette Recorder (Cat. No. 1770-SA). These data terminals allow a variety of additional capabilities, including ‘* Loading/storing the program on magnetic or punched tape * Generating a hard-copy printout of program '* Generation of various kinds of reports, in @ user-pro- rammed format, Figure 1.1 ~ Mini:PLC-2 Programmable ControllerPage 1-2 On the various controller components themselves, indi ators show 1/0 device, Mini-Processor, and Power Supply status. Those indicators ad in providing quick diagnosis of 2 fault situation thus enabling troubleshooting by plant Taintenance personnel, without the need for specialized equipment or programming knowledge. 1.2 Organization of Manual — This Manual is organized in sections. Each section deals with a specific topic of con- ern to the installer of thy MiniPLO-2 controller and its Biociated equipment. Abriet outline oF the contents lows: Section 2 gives a description of the components of the Min-PLE2 convoller Section 3 gives the recommendations for layout and assembly of the controller. Section 4 gives the recommended procedures for con: voller startup, Section 5 explains controller diagnostic indicators and gives an approach to troubleshooting procedures. Section 6 lists the system specifications, Section 7 describes supplementary documentation whieh Is available for the Mini PLC-2 controller user 13 PC Installation and Start-Up — Read this entire man- val before any installation is begun. It is strongly recom- mended that hardwaro and installation personnel work cosely with the Mini-PLC-2 programmer at startup. The Proper operation of a programmable controller is as much function of the user program as tis a function of proper installation. ‘Since programmable controllers often perform relay equivalent functions, there is much in common between the programmable controller and relays. However, many aspects of the programmable controller may be fhew 29 individuals. For’ this reason, Publication SGI-1.1, “Appli ition Considerations for Solid-State Contéols,”" is included ‘in the Support Documentation for the Mini- PLC-2 Programmable. Controller.

The Power Supply current requirements for these modules are shown in Table 2.4. ‘The Power Supply can be operated from 120V AC, 220/240 AC, or 24V DC. EE “The front face of the Supply provides a terminal stip for ser input power connections and a fuseholder for ease of fuse replacement, In addition, there are two status inci- cators. These are labeled: *DCON ‘* BATTERY LOW ‘The significance of these status indicators is described Section 5, 2.4.1 Input-Line Monitoring — The System Power Supply continuausly senses the input voltage on the user's AC fine, When it-detects abnormally fow line voltage, the Sysiem ‘Supply signals the Mini-Processor. This. signal alerts the Mini-Procestor to stop receiving input data ard to turn outputs OFF ‘The value of this inputine monitoring is twofold: it guards against the entry of incorrect input data into co troller memory, and it helps to provide consistent output shutdown when the user line fails or a “brownout” ‘The System Power Supply normal operating range, when jumpered for 120V AC operation, is between 88V and 132V AC, When jumpered for 220/240V AC operation, ‘the normal range is between 196 and 250V AC. ‘The Power Supply allows some margin for variation from this normal voltage range, However, there Is a minimum Voltage of approximately 92V for 120V AC operation or approximately 184V for 220/240V AC operation. Should the AC line fall below normal range, to this minimum voltage for more than one-half cycle, the Power Supply Signals the Mini-Processor Module to stop communication With its 1/0 modules. When the Mini-Processor recsives this signal, it stops re ceiving input module data, At the same time, it turns all Controller outputs OFF. However, no special steps need be taken fo restart the controller. The System Power Supply signals the Mini-Processor to cestart when line vot ‘age has recovered to the narmal operating range. In order to take full advantage of this input-tine moniter- ing capability, the user should observe the layout recom- mendations given in Paragraph 3.1.4, 2.4.2 Fuse — The AC line fuscholder is on the front of the’ System Power Supply. The Supply is shipped with 2 {Vampere fuse installed in the holder. This fuse is required for 120V AC operation ‘A DS-ampere fuse is also shipped with the Supply for 220/240V" AC operation only. Replace the Tampere fuse ‘with this O.5-ampere fuse ifthe System Power Supply is connected for 220/240V operation. Otherwise, do not place the O.5-ampere fuse whore it might mistakenly be Used to replace a t-ampere fuse, ‘Table 5.8 lists the manufacturer's number for replacement fuses, The user may order the optional Fuse Package (Cat, No. 1771-FP). This contains fuses each of both 1- and O.S-ampere types. When replacing fuses, use only the fuse of proper rating for the Tine voltage 2.4.3 Power Cable — The 1/0 Power Cable is used to ‘connect the System Power Supply and Battery Pack with the 1/0 Chassis. This Cable is available in two lengths. ‘These are! ‘© Cat, No. 1771-CL 1/0 Power Cable (1 1130.5 cm) '© Cat. No. 1771-CM 1/0 Power Cable (6 ft./1.5 m) ‘The choice of Cable is based on the mounting arrange- iment for the System Power Supply. 2.44 Battery Pack — The System Power Supply is Shipped with a Battery Pack at a standard item, The Bat tery. Pack provides convenient, inexpensive memory backup power. Its batteries are used to maintain control- ler memory contents during AC power loss, removal or replacement of the Supply, or Supply shutdown. One of two Battery Packs may be included with the Sys- ‘tem Supply. These are: ‘© Cat, No, 1771-BB Battery Pack © Cat, No, 171-BP Battery Pack General information applicsble to both these units is in- cluded in this Paragraph. Specific information on each of these Battery Packs is given in Paragraphs 2.4.4.1 and 24a. ‘The Battery Pack makes backup power available to the user memory only 2 long as the Mini-Processor Module is Seated in the lefemost slot of the 1/0 Chassis, Therefore, it is recommended that a copy of the user's program be stored on punched or magnetic tape. If the Mini-Processor Module must be removed trom the 1/0 Chassis, there will bbe a quick, convenient means of reloading the program, “The Battery Pack voltage level is continuously monitored by the System Supply. When this level drops beneath a ‘certain threshold voltage, the BATTERY LOW indicator begins to flesh. At this threshold voltage, batteries can continue to maintain memory contents for approximately ‘one week. BI This allows ample time for battery replace- ment. In addition to this indicator, a battery-low condition is also signaled to the Mini-Processor Module. Memory bit (02700''s turned alternately ON and OFF when the Mini- Processor receives this signal. Thus, through the user's pro- gram, an annunciator, warning light, or other device can Be used to warn of a battery-low condition. Replacement alkaline batteries may be ordered using Cat.

However, for applications using Report Generation, some users may. prefer to set up some form of station for temporary oF ‘permanent Program Pane! installation. Cable length limits the distance between the Mini-Processor Module and the PLC2 Program Panel to. 10 feet. This 10-foot distance alto applies when the PLC/PLC-2 Program Panel Adapter is connected to the Mini-Processor. However, the user can make up @ cable to mount the PLC Program Panel up to 50 ‘cable-feet from the Adapter, (Refer to Paragraph 3.28.)

A, Working understanding of these guidelines, in advance of installation, is necessary in the interest of safety and mini mum downtime, CAUTION: To avoid equipment damage, read and under stand this entire Manual before attempting to install or operate the Mini PLC-2 controller. A primary consideration in programmable controller in- Stallation and operation is safety. The guidelines in this Section are presented with consideration for the safety of the operator, of controlled equipment and of the can: troller itself.” As such, these quidelines are intended to supplement all applicable codes and ordinances which govern wiring and installation practices. The persons in Stalling the controller should be familiar with local codes and these guidelines Essential for installation of the Mini-PLC-2 programmable controller is a well-planned layout. Paragraph 3.1 outlines the various considerations necessary for planning @ con. troller installation. This Paragraph also describes various vices which are commonly supplied by the user for a Programmable controller. ‘Once the layout of the controler is planned, the installa ton of its components ean be done, Procedures for oon troller mounting, assembly and connections are given in Paragraph 3.2. 3.1. Recommendations for System Layout — This Para- ‘raph describes the general recommendations for layout ‘of the controller system. These recommendations are she result of both product testing and Allen-Bradley’s curmula- tive experience with solid-state industrial controls. As such, they provide useful guidelines for most Mini-PLC-2 installations ‘Overall recommendations concerning user supplied equip: ‘ment and wiring are also given in this Paragraph, These recommendations are intended to aid in making the con {voller an integral part of the user's manufacturing facility. [Necessarily some of the installation recommendations for Usersupplied equipment are general in nature, Environ ‘mental conditions, the individual application, and local codes and ordinances dictate the specific types, layout, and wiring of user supplied installation equipment, Particular industrial environments may contain one or more conditions adverse to solid state control. The user's plant may include other equipment which produces exces. five heat or electrical noise. Line-voltage variations may also occur in some locations, There are various measures “which ‘may be taken to limit the effect of any of these conditions. These are described in Paragraph 3.1.6. 3.1.1 Enclosure Considerations — An enclosure is usually Provided by the user for the Mini-PLC-2 controller. ‘The enclosure is the chief protection of the controller from atmospheric contaminants, These may include oils, moisture, conductive dust or particles, or any corrotive ot Cothenwisé harmful airborne substance. ‘Standards ests lished. by the National Electrical Manufacturer's Assce: ation (NEMA) define enclosure types, based on the degree ‘of protection an enclosure is designed to provide. ML In ‘general, an enclosure which conforms to the NEMA stand. ard for Type 12 enclosures is preferred for solid-state con- ‘rol devices. The enclosure should be mounted in @ position which allows doors to be opened fully and allows access to Wiring and components for testing or troubleshooting, ‘Also important is the accessibility of an emergency die: connect device in the enclosure, as noted in Paragraph ona, ‘The Mini-PLC-2 programmable controller requires 2 mini mum enclosure ‘working depth of 8 inches. "Working depth” is defined as the distance from the front mounting surfece of the back panel to the inside rear of the door. In some cases, beck panels may be fixed on, or very close to, the inside rear wall of the enclosure. ln other cases, back panels are mounted on standoffs which decreases the ‘working depth available. Door-mounted print pockets nay alzo Use up valuable space, When epeeifying. an closure for the Mini-PLC-2 controller, carefully examine ‘the vendor's data sheets for print-pdcket and standoff Measurements; then calculate the “working depth” available 3.1.1.1 Component Spacing — Mini-PLO2 controller ‘components must be spaced sufficiently from other equip. ‘ment and the enclosure walls to allow conveetion cooling. Convection cooling draws a vertical column of air upward, over the controller module surfaces. To keep the con troller modules within the specified temperature limits, this cooling air, drawn at the base of the controller must not exceed GU°C (140°F). Because the flow of air is in the vertical direction, the ‘unobstructed vertical spacing above and below controller components 1s especially important. Vertical spacing is application-dependent, based on these factors: ‘© Average number of controller inputs and outputs ON at any one time. 1/0 modules must dissipate more heat ‘when 1/0 devices are in the energized (ON) state ‘* Average current supplied by output terminals to out put devices. The greater the current draw, the more heat is generated © Heat from other equipment in or near the controller enclosure. Because applications vary widely with regard to these factors, the vertical spacing will also vary. For this reason, ‘two possible cases are desoribed ‘© Typical Condition, in Paragraph 3.1.1.1.1. ‘* Worst-Case Condition, in Paragraph 3.1.1.1.2 The various factors of controller environment and use in individual applications can be compared with these cases. This allows the installer to judge the amount of un- obstructed space required for his controller. Note that these recommended spacing allowances refer to “unobstructed” space. This implies that no other davice which might impede or prevent a steady vertical alr flow should occupy this space. However, wiring or plastic wire 1H National Electrical Manufacturers Assocation Bion Sveet NW Washington, B.C. 20037Page 3.2 ways or wiring ducts can be routed through this space singe they are not considered “obstructions” for this purpose Because the controller components are cooled by convee: tion, the controller is to be mounted against 2 vertical ansi and. in-an upright position, so. that all modules present a vertical surface to convection flow. 3.1.1.1.1 Typical Condition ~ In a typical Mini-PLC-2 Controlier installation, the following conditions of use and environment may exist: © On an average, 60% of inputs are energized (ON) at any '# On an average, 30% of outputs are energized (ON) at any one time, '* Each output terminal, in the ON state, supplies an aver age 250 mA current to ts load. ‘* Air temperature outside the enclosure is not more than 40°C (104°, For a controller with these operating conditions, the fol: lowing spacing allowances, a shown in Figure 3-1, are recommended: ‘© Allow 6 vertical inches (15.2 cm) above and below ail Controller components. When more than one controller is mounted within an enclosure, allow 6 vertical inches between controllers *# Allow 4 horizontal inches (10.2 om) on the side of ‘each controller component. (When the Power SUDpIY i Chassis mounted, allow 4 inches tram the left sige of ‘the Supply.) ‘Allow 6 horizontal inches (16.2 em) between 2 con: itollers mounted in the same horizontal plane within the same enclosure, 3.1.1.1.2 Worst-Case Condition — A Mini-PLC-2 con- troller may. be considered to be operating under worst case conditions when either of the following statements is ‘© Equipment near the controller produces large amounts ot heat Typical: 6 in. (15.2 cm) Worst-case: 12 in. (30.4 cm) ‘© Almost all controller inputs and outputs are continu: ously energized (ON). Output modules are supplying the maximum allowable current to output devices, Under these conditions, spacing of controller components within the enclosure becomes more critical. Where these onditions exit, the fliowing minimum spacing dimen ‘Allow 10 vertical inches (25.4 em) from the base of the 1/0 Chassis or Power Supply 0 the inside bottom of the enclosure ‘Allow 12 vertical inches (30.5 em) above each con troller component.

(Where the Power Supply ig Chassis-mounted, allow 4 inches from the left side of the Supply.) © Allow 6 horizontal inches (15.2 em) between 2 con: tyollers if mounted in the tame horizontal plane within the same enclosure, Component spacing for 2 worst.case installation is indi cated in Figure 3.1, [Note that the input ambient temperature, (the tempera: ture of the ir at the base of the controller) must not exczed 60°C (140°F). In some applications, additional cooling means may be required to keep the input ambient temperature ‘within specifications. (Refer to Paragraph 3.18.1.) 3.1.1.2 Wiring Layout ~ Careful wire routing within the tenciosure helps to minimize any electrical noise due to "erosstalk’” between I/O lines. Follow these rules for routing user wiring '* Rule No. 1 — Route AC input power into the enclosure by a separate path from wiring to 1/0 modules. ‘* Rule No. 2 — Do not mount 1/0 wiring ducts closer than 2 inches (6 em) from the I/O Chassis, If terminal strips are used for 1/0. wiring, these must not be mounted within 2 inches of tne Chassis, PaAnisy Vain, ool (10.2 em) [Teh — Typical: 6 in.

Bundle wiring with similar electrical characteristics together. Wiring with. differant signal characteristics should be routed into the enclosure by separate paths, ‘whenever possible Following this rule, for example, AC 1/0 wiring is ‘bundled together and routed physically separate from DC VO, analog, TTL, or other wiring, It is preferaste to use separate ducts for AC and DC 1/0 wiring. Alter nately, one duct may be used, with AC and DC 10 Wiring’ entering the enclosure from different directions, Figure 3.2 shows these rules used in 2 typical controller configuration VO wiring is facilitated when 1/0. modules in the Chassis are grouped together by type. Figure 3.2 for example, shows AC 1/0 modules placed to the right in the Chassis, DC 1/0 modules to the left. (Since slot positions in “he YO Chassis directly correspond to programming addreses, the actual designation of an 1/0 module to a specific sot is the concstn.of the programmer.) VO wiring practices may vary, depending upon the nature Of the application and types of 1/0 madules used. Where 2 Figh level of electrical noise exists In an application, VO ‘wiring with different signal characteristics must be roused along different paths and in separate ducts within “he enclosure whenever possible. In addition, oise suppres sion might be needed for some applications, {These are listed in Paragreph 3.1.6.2.) Specific 1/0 modules may require other wiring practises {0 limit electrical noise.

All dimensions shown are based on standard sizes for 8 and TOsineh depen enclosures. Note that the Power Supply may be mounted up to 5 cable-eet from the 1/0 Chassis as shown in Figure 3.4, This allows the user flexibility ia enclosure sizing 3.1.2 Grounding — Grounding i an important safety ‘measure in electrical installations. With solid-state control systems, grounding has added value because it helps to Umit the effects of noise due 10 electromagnetic induction, WARNING: The MiniPLC-2 programmable controller. controller enclosure, and controlled devices must all be properly grounded. ‘All applicable codes and ordinances Should be observed when wiring the controller system. DC 1/0 Modules ‘The grounding path for the controller and its enclosure is provided by the equipment grounding conductor. This Conductor provides a permanent, continuous, lov-impe- dance path to ground for any possible fault current in the system The exact configuration of the equipment grounding con: ductor varies between installations. An equipment ground: ing conductor is identifiable by its green Insulation, Normally, the grounding conductor is routed into the enclosure’ along with the currentcerrying conductors in the user's line and connected to a suitable mounting lug fon the enclosure back panel.

Local codes and ordinances dictate which grounding means are acceptable. ‘The equipment grounding conductor connects to the Power Supply terminal labeled EQUIP. GND. In addition, this conductor also is used to ground other controller components and the enclosure itself. The connection of the controller components and the enclosure in this way effectively “bonds” them ‘together for grounding pur- poses. (A bonding connection is made when two metallic parts of electrical equipment, not intended in normal Operation to conduct current, ae solidly joined to provide a conductive path for fault current.) To provide good electrical contact between controller components and the enclosure, bare-metal contact. is Fequired. Paint or other non-conductive finish must be scraped from the back panel where it comes in contact with 2 controller mounting ‘bolt, nut, or stud. Non: ‘conductive finishes must also be scraped from the mount- ing slot of the System Power Supply. Mounting procedure is described in Paragraph 3.2.2 In addition to scraping the mounting areas, additional bonding means should be used. An 6-gauge wire or T-inch metal braid should be used to connect each controller ‘component to the enclosure. Connections should be made ‘3t mounting bolts or studs. Grounding connections for the Mini-PLC-2 programmable Controller are shown in Figure 3.6. Exact connections will differ between applications. ‘An authoritative source for grounding requirements for ‘most installations is the National Electrical Code. Art. cle 260 of the Code provides such data as the size and types of ‘conductors and connections necessary for sate grounding of electrical components, As defined in the Gode, a grounding path must be permanent and con: tinuous, and be able to conduct safely the ground-fault current possible in the system, with minimal impedance, This implies that any connection to a grounding conduc- tor must also be of a permanent nature, Thus, solder does not provide an acceptable connection’ for bonding and grounding purposes. In addition to the grounding required for the program: ‘able controller and its enclosure, the user must also provide proper grounding for all contralled devices in his National Electrical Code, published by she National Fire Pro fection Assocation, 470’ Atlantic Avenue, Boston, MA G2210 Pobtistion NEPA T0197,Page 35 1/0 Power| Cable (Cat.

This helps prevent the possible occurrence of ground loops, that is, erroneous Connection of grounds in series, which causes undesirable voltage potentials. 3.1.3 Master Control Relay — A hard-wired master con: {rol telay, 10 be supplied by the user, provides a conven: jent means for controller shutdown. Since the master Control relay allowe the placement of several Emergency Stop switches in different locations, its instalation is Strongly recommended. When used as outlined in this Paragraph, the master relay also provides distinct trouble- shooting advantages. Wiring of the control relay in a grounded system is shown in Figere 3.7-M When any of the Emergency Stop switches ere opened, power to input and output devices is Fermoved. However, power continues to be supplied to the System Power Supply. Thus, the controller itself con- tinues operation, even though all ofits inputs and outputs are disabled. This allows the inspection of diagnostic indi Gators on the Mini-Processor Module and System Power Supply. Note that the master control relay is not a substitute for a Gisconnect to the controller. It Is intended for any situ ftion where the operator must quickly de-energize 1/0. . igure 3.8 — Typical Interference Suppression for Small Apparatus — reov ac | ts+3s—__, Electro-cube toc.

Keep high-power AC and DC wiring separate from input and output device wiring, as this wll reduce the electrical interference in the controller system. Where 1/0 wiring must cross AG power lines, it should do so only at right angles. 3.1.6.3 Constant Voltage Transformer — in applications \winere the AG Tine is especially unstable and subject to Unusual variation, a constant voltage transformer can be Used to stabilize the input voltage to the Power Supply as wall as the Input voltage to user devices. [As stated in Paragraph 2.4.1, the System Power Supply has a normal operating voltage range, which allows some ‘margin for line variation. As long as input voltage is within formal range, the Supply provides the necessary logic Voltage at ite outputs and enables the Mini-Processor Module. However, if a significant drop below normalPage 3:10 range is detected, the Supply signals the Mini-Processor to stop I/O data communication ‘The best solution to line vatiation is ta correct any feeder problems in the user’ line power distribution. Where this, {does not solve the line variation problem, oF in certain eritcal elications,a constant voltage transtorme canbe A constant voltage transformer compensates for voltage changes at its input, or primary, to maintain a steady voltage value at its output, or secondary. If a constant voltage transformer is required, it must be connected to the System Power Supply and ail input devices connected to the MiniPLC-2 programmable controller. Output devices should be connected on the same AC line, but their connection slong the AC line is normally made before the constant voltage transformer, A. constant voltage transformer must have sufficient power rating for its load, As stated in Paragraph 3.1.5, the transformer power rating for the System Power Supply itself should ‘be at least 225 VA, This rating is sufficient when the Power Supaly and input devices are connected along the transformer secondary. However, if any output eviee is connected thru the constant voltage transformer, a higher rating is required. ‘The Sola CVS, Solatron series, or equivalent constant volt age transformers, are suitable for use with the MiniPLC-2 Programmable controller. Ml These transformers incor porate line filtering which removes high harmonic content land provides a sinusoidal output. However, other types of Constant voltage transformers, such as the Sola CVN, are not recommended for use with the System Power Supply. (Line filtering of high harmonics is not provided by trans: formers of this type) 3.2 Procedures for Installation — This Paragraph describes the assembly and installation procedures for Mini-PLC-2 controller components. For ease of controller set-up, the installer should carry out these procedures in the order which follows, 3.2.1. Battery Pack — The first step in Mini-PLC2 installe- tion Js assembly and mounting of the Battery Pack to the VO Chassis. As stated in Paragraph 2.4.4, there are two different Bautery Packs. These Battery Packs differ significantly with respect to polarity and mounting method. Thus, the Installar should ‘refer only to the subsequent Paragraph ‘which applies to the Pack shipped with his Power Supply. 3.2.1.1 Cat. No. 1771-BB Battery Pack ~ The Cat. No. 1771-BB Battery Pack has a metal battery housing. This Battery Pack is thipped with the Mounting Hardware Set (Cat, No. 1771-BX) consisting of @ set of 2 mounting brackets with screws. These brackets are mounted by the User on the left side-plate of the 1/0 Chassis. Mounting of these brackets is shown in Figute 3.12, ‘Standard with the Cat. No. 1771-BB Battery Pack are 2 Dsize alkaline batteries (Cat. No. 1771-BA). These bat tories are positioned in the baitery housing with the polar ity shown in Figure 3.13.

This P ‘raph outlines the general installation procedures which may be followed for l/O modules. Spec'fic instalation and Wiring practices for each type of 1/0 module are given in Product Data Sheets. The Support Documentation, pro. vided with this Manual, includes Product Data Sheets for VO modules available as of the date of publication, For modules which require shielded cable, refer to the instructions of Paragraph 3.2.6.3, 3.2.6.1, Preparation — There are several considerations wiih help to allow orderly module installation. ‘These include: * Correct slot placement of I/O modules ~ The program address of each 1/0 device dicectly relates to module slot placement and terminal wiring. Therefore, the system programmer should provide a list showing ‘module placement in the Chassis and device connection {to Wiring Arm terminals. '* Acceptable wire gauge — Field Wiring Arms are not designed for wire larger than 14 AWG (stranded), CAUTION: It is the user's responsibility to calculate the maximum possible current in each power and com: mon wire. Observe all local electrical codes which dictate the maximum current allowable for each wire size. Current above these maximum ratings may cause wiring to overheat, which may damage equipment, '* Wire labeling — Each wire which connects to an 1/0) device, power source, or common shauld be appropri: ately labeled. Tape, shrink-tubing, or other dependable means can be used for labeling purposes. The Sdigit address provides a convenient label for 1/0 wiring. In addition to labeling, Insulation color may be used to distinguish wiring based on signal characteristies. Thus, for example, OC 1/0 wiring may be blue in color; AC 170 wiring réd, Local electrical codes may also specity insulation colors for various types of signals. * Wire bundling — Wiring for each 1/0 module should be bundled together within the wiring duct. (Refer to the wire-routing practices outlined in Paragraph 3.1.1.2.) Power and common wires, of appropriate gauge, may be jumpered from one Wiring Arm to the next. (Refer to the instructions of Paragraph 3.2.6.2), * Field Wiring Arm labeling — Space is available on each Field Wiring Arm for labeling. This can be used for the Bedigit address of connected devices, oF for any user designation for each device. (Refer to Figure 3.26.) Label on Wiring Arm f0F: user 1/0 device | | +5-digit 1/0 terminal address Figure 3.26 ~ Wiring Arm Labeling * Indicator labeling ~ A space to the left of 1/0 module gators can also be used for labeling purposes. (Refer to Figure 3.27.) Label on In Housing for: suser 1/0 device ‘designations or +5edigit io terminal address Figure 3.27 — Indicator Labeling 3.26.2 Procedures — Once preparatory steps are com: pleted, the actual installation and wiring of 1/0 modules ‘can be'done, For installation and wiring of all modules, power must be disconnected from both the System Power Supply and any user source to 1/0 devices WARNING: To avoid injury to personnel and damage to equipment, disconnect AC power from the controller before module installation and wiring, Fol ow these steps for 1/0 module installation ** Step No. 1 — Key the backplane connector for each VO module. Plastic keying bands are shipped with tre VO Chassis. Thosa keying bands help to prevent inser tion of the wrong module into a particular Chassis slot Each type of I/O module has 2 slots along its backplane ge. Keying bands are positioned on the backplane connectors to correspond to these slots. (Refer to Figure 3.28.) Correct key placement is specified in the Product Data Sheets for each module, reproduced in the Support Documentation, Publication 1772-820-1, A summary of keying band positions is given in Table 2.A, Keying bands may be placed on the backplane connec: tors by means of neodle-nose pliers. These bands can be easily re:positioned as subsequent. system needs require '# Step No. 2 ~ Insert each 1/O module into its desig: nated slot in the Chases, Gn the top and bottom of each slot, plastic quides permit the module to be easly sid into the Chassis.

(Refer to Figure 3.28.) * Step No. 3~ Loosen the terminals on each Field Wit- ing Arm. ‘+ Step No. 4 — For each 1/0 module, fasten the bundled wiring to the base of the Field Wiring Arm, To do this, hold the Wiring Arm close to the base of the Chassis, near the front of its corresponding 0 module. Use nylon eable tie or other means to attach the wire bundle to the Wiring Arm. The base of the Wiring Arm is slotted for this purpose. (Refer to Figure 330,)Page 3:17 1/0 Module Backplane Connector Keying bands 7 ‘on backplane “ atl Each module has @ charact keying band placement, (Refer to Table 2.4.) Numbers serve as guides for keying positions. istic Figure 3.28 — Module Keying Bands Leave sufficient slack so that wiring comes out loosely from the duct to each Wiring Arm, ‘© Step No. 5 — Snap each Field Wiring Arm into place on the Chassis. The lower end of the Wiring Arm forms 2 C-shaped connector which clamps onto the horizontal ‘bar of the 1/0 Chassis. To position the Arm, snap its plastic connector onto the bar from below the Chassis. This is shown in Figure 3.31. When in place, the Field Wiring Arm pivots on the lower cross-bar of the 1/O Chase's. ‘Step No. 6 — Pivot each Wiring Arm to make connec: tion with its corresponding 1/0 module. When the Wiring Arm is pivoted into vertical pos tion, it makes contact with 1/0 module terminals. Complete contact. is made when the Arm snaps into position against the front of the module. ‘© Step No. 7 — From the bundled wiring of the first Wiring Arm, locate the wire which connects to the lowest terminal. (This is the terminal labeled “Bon the Cat. No. 1771-WA Wiring Arms.) The lowest terminal connection is to be made frst. # Step No. 8 — At the point where this wire is at the vertical height of the terminal screw, bend it to the Fight at approximately a 90" angle. (Refer to Figure 332) 1 Step No. 9 — Cut the wire where it extends approxi mately 1/4 inch beyond the edge of the Field Viring ‘Arm. Strip approximately 3/8 inch of insulation from the wire. (Refer to Figure 3,32.) * Step No. 10 ~ Bend the end of the wire inward and slip it beneath the pressure plate of the. terminal ‘Tighten the terminal éerew securely, The wiring of this terminalis now complete. (Refer to Figure 3.33.) Figure 3.29 ~ 1/0 Module Insertion Fepeat Steps No. 8 thru 10 for each terminal. For best results, move up the Wiring Arm, one terminal at a time. ‘© Step No. 11 — Determine that each wire Is properly connected between its Wiring Arm terminal and input (or output device A simple continuity test is recommended for all. 1/0 ‘wiring, This test can be accomplished as follows: Tem Borarily jumper an 1/0 terminal to ground. Then check for very low resistance to ground at the other end of the W/O wire where it connects to its input oF Output devier. Obviously, this quick test does not check for 1/0 com: Ponents being shorted together or to ground. However, this type of complication can be detected in controller start-up procedures, described in Section 4. Completed wiring should lie neatly, as close to the Field Wiring. Arm as possible. (Refer to’ Figure 3.34.) At the same time, the Bundled 1/0 wiring should have sufficient slack to the duct to allow the Wiring Arm to pivot easily fon the Chassis. The pivoting action of @ completed Wiring ‘Arm is shown in Figure 3.38.Page 3-18 Figure 3.30 — Bundling Wire to the Arm Figure 3.31 — Snapping Wiring Arm onto Chassis Wire brought Cut wire here to vertical Strip wire here height of oe ‘terminal and bent 90°Page 3:19 Module lever holds Wiring ‘Arm when in position. movement of Wiring Arm.

When making connection in this manner, however, alow sufficient length for the jumper wire to be bundled with WO wiring for each module. (Refer to Figure 3.34.) Allowing sufficient length for this jumpering wire permits ‘each Wiring Arm to be pivoted separately. All 1/0 module slots in the 1/0 Chassis need not be filled fand unused Field Wiring Arms should not be attached to the Chassis. To avoid unnecessary exposure of the electri tal contacts, Keep unused Wiring Arms in the plastic bags in which they were shipped. 3.2.63 Shielded Cable — Cortain Bulletin 1771 1/0. mod bles require shielded cable for signal transmission, Thase modules are listed in Table 3.A,. For these modules, the Specified cable, Belden 8761 oF equivalent, has 2 sirale insulated twisted-pair covered, along its total length, by foil shield, ‘The twisted.pair consists of a signal wire and a signal re- turn wire, The exact connection of these 2 insulated w res varies, depending on the type of module used, Data sheets Yor these. moduler give thie twisted-pair wiring Informa tion. However, the connection of the foil shield for al of these modules is the same, as outlined in this Paragraph, ‘The function of a shield is to reduce the effect of indused noise at any point along the cable. In order to do this, the Shield must cover the enclosed pair of wires as completely '& possible. Most imporcantiy, the shield must be properly {rounded at one end only, The recommended grounding point for the shield is at the controller Chassis, This is because the Chassis, through its Table 3A VO MODULES REQUIRING SHIELDED CABLE CONNECTIONS 1/0 MODULE ASSEMBLY Cat.

These prose dures may be followed once the complete controller sys- tem is installed as described in Section 3, with user wiring in place and the Program Panel connected, After assembly and installation of @ new Mini-PLC-2 con: ‘troller have been completed, a cautious approach must be taken toward the initial system startup. Care and patience in following startup procedures will isolate problems Which might occur in the form of programming errors, Wiring mistakes, or equipment malfunction. The proce: dures outlined here provide a means of uncovering such problems under controlled conditions, thereby not orly ‘making it easier fo pinpoint any problems, but elso min it "yf equipment damage or personal In general, certain checkout steps must be taken before ower to the controller system is turned ON. Then, oth Steps may be taken with power ON to all devices except ‘those thst allow any machine motion. Finally, the system is checked out with the machine in motion. These 3 div sions of procedures form the basis for the following Paragraphs. WARNING: Machine motion during system checkout can bbe hazardous to personnel. During the first stage of s/s tem checkout, as described in Psragraphs 4.1 and 4.2, disconnect any device which, when energized, might cause ‘machine motion to occur, Machine motion must be permitted only in the final staces of system checkout, (These stages are described in Para graph 4.3.) 4.1 Checkout Before Power is Connected — The follow: ing checkout steps must be taken before AC power is connected to the controll '* Step No. 1 — Measure the incoming AC line voltage to be certain that it corresponds to the jumper-selected voltage of the System Power Supply. (Refer to Pare graph 3.2.3.) Also check that the line voltage is within tolerance. For 120V AC operation, the normal range is 98-132V AC. For 220/240V AC ‘operation, the nor imal range is 196 - 250V AC. ‘© Step No. 2 — Check the wiring of the main disconnect switch or circuit breaker connected on the AC line to the Power Supply. Also, check the wiring of the master control relay for the ‘correct terminal connections. (Reter to Paragraph 3.1.3.) '* Step No. 3 — Check the Power Cable connections to ‘the: /O Chassis and Battery Pack. Make sure plugs ae securely held in their sockets, '* Step No. 4 — Make sure that all modules are securely hheld in the 1/0 Chassis. All latches on the top of the VO Chassis must be snapped down. All Field Wiring ‘Arms must be pivoted up against their appropriate ‘modules. + Step No. 5 — Disconnect all motors from their starters, valves from their solenoids, etc., to insure that no power-driven machine motion occurs when power is first applied to the controller. In cases where this is not practical, the output device itself should be disconnected at @ convenient terminal strip, If-at all possible, disconnect the user wiring at some point other than the Wiring Arm terminal 4.2 Hardware/Indicator Comparison — Each connected input and output device has status indicators in the con- troller, This Paragraph gives the technique for comparison Of these indicators with the actual status of 1/0 devices. This technique is valuable both in initial checkout of the controller and in troubleshooting hardware-related faults Esch input or output device has the two status indicators shown in Figure 4.1. One of these status indiestors is on the /O module itieif; the other indicator is provided By the Program Panel. ‘The 1/0 module status indicator helps to isolate the source of a fault in the user's hardware.
