The CompactLogix / 1769 system provides a totally modular
compact system with 64K bytes of user memory and a
maximum of 8 local Compact I/O modules. Because it has a
Logix control engine, a CompactLogix processor supports
the Logix instruction set, tasking model, and data model. A
CompactLogix processor and other Logix processors have a
common approach to programming and configuring I/O with
RSLogix 5000 programming software.
You can configure a CompactLogix / 1769 system with a
maximum of eight 1769 Compactt I/O modules of any mix.
Choose from a variety of digital and analog input and output
modules with a maximum of 16 I/O each.
Advantages
• No chassis required — The processor, power supply,
and Compact I/O modules of the CompactLogix system
can be either panel- or DIN rail-mounted. You do not
need an I/O chassis.
• Expandable — If the number of I/O modules provides too
large a load for the power supply, add a second or third
bank of I/O modules with its own power supply.
• RS-232, EtherNet/IP, DeviceNet, and DH-485
Communication Capability — A built-in RS-232 port
supports DF1 full- and half-duplex protocols, DH-485
protocol, and full ASCII in and out communication. You
can connect the CompactLogix controller to DH-485,
DeviceNet, or EtherNet/IP networks thru optional
communication interfaces.
• Modularity of I/O and communication interfaces provides
a configurable and expandable system. You configure
your system for the number of I/O, the amount of memory,
and the communication networks you need. Later, when
you want to expand the system, you can add I/O or a
communication interface.
• Industrially hardened hardware platform is designed to
withstand the vibration, thermal extremes, and electrical
noise associated with harsh industrial environments.
• Compact design of hardware lets it fit processor and I/O
in limited panel space close to sensors/actuators for the
machine or process being controlled.
• Distributed processing is possible by connecting
processors across an EtherNet/IP, DeviceNet, or DH-485
network.
• The IEC-1131-compliant operating system provides a
true pre-emptive multi-tasking environment, allowing you
to meet your application requirements with software
components scheduled individually. This increases the
efficiency of the processor.
• Ease of Wiring and Installation — Removable
finger-safe terminal blocks on Compact I/O modules ease
wiring, installation, or replacement while meeting global
safety standards.
CompactLogix / 1769 System
System Overview
Functional Design
The CompactLogix processor provides 64K bytes of user
memory and can address a maximum of 8 local Compact I/O
modules. These local I/O modules can be configured in a
single bank or in multiple banks to satisfy space and/or
power supply limitations. By utilizing optional communication
interfaces, processing can be distributed among several
processors via an EtherNet/IP, DeviceNet, or DH-485
network,
Mechanical Design
The CompactLogix / 1769 system is designed for ease of
installation and maintenance. The I/O modules include
finger-safe terminal blocks. No I/O chassis is required for
the modules. Processor, power supply (1769-PA2 or
1769-PB2), and I/O modules can be either DIN-rail or panel
mounted. The modules mechanically lock together by
means of a tongue-and-grove design and have an integrated
communication bus. Each module can be removed from the
front individually from its position for replacement. Any
module can be removed and installed individually, or the
entire bank of modules can be removed or installed as a unit.
However, you must remove power to the power supply and
I/O circuits before inserting or removing any module in the
CompactLogix / 1769 system. A second (or with an I/O
adapter module, a third) bank of I/O modules can be installed
up to a meter away through use of an expansion cable
(1769-CRRx or 1769-CRLx)1 and power supply. You install
the processor or I/O adapter module at the left end of the first
bank of modules. Each bank must contain a power supply.
1 The x in catalog numbers 1769-CRRx and 1769-CRLx stands for
the numeral 1 (a one-foot cable) or 3 (a three-foot cable).
Communication
RS-232-C Port — The CompactLogix / 1769 system
provides a built-in RS-232-C port that supports DF1 full- and
half-duplex protocols, DH-485 protocol, report-by-exception,
and peer-to-peer data exchange. The RS-232-C port can be
used for direct connection of programming and operator
interface devices (e.g. a personal computer), and supports
dial-in remote programming.
• ASCII — A full ASCII command set for the RS-232-C port
allows allows read and write with ASCII devices.
• DH-485 — You can connect the CompactLogix processor
RS-232-C port to a DH-485 network thru an Advanced
Interface Converter (1761-NET-AIC). The DH-485
network can connect up to 32 devices. The
communication port provides for peer-to-peer
communication.
• DeviceNet — You can connect the CompactLogix
processor RS-232-C port to a DeviceNet network of up to
64 devices thru a DeviceNet Interface (1761-NET-DNI).
The DeviceNet Interface provides slave I/O, peer-to-peer,
and program upload/download capability.
• EtherNet/IP — You can connect the CompactLogix
processor RS-232-C port to an EtherNet/IP network thru
an EtherNet/IP Interface (1761-NET-ENI). The
EtherNet/IP Interface provides peer-to-peer and program
upload/download capability.

Overview of 1769 Compact I/O Module Assemblies

The 1769 Compact I/O modules can be used for expansion
I/O in a MicroLogix 1500 controller assembly (see page 6-2),
in an assembly with a CompactLogix processor module (see
page 10-2), or in an assembly with a 1769-ADN DeviceNet
I/O adapter module (see page 10-7). Unless connected
directly to a MicroLogix 1500 base, each bank of I/O
modules must include its own power supply. A variety of
analog and digital I/O modules is available.
I/O modules can be installed either on a panel with two
mounting screws or on a DIN rail. No I/O rack is required.
The modules mechanically lock together by means of a
tongue-and-grove design and have an integrated
communication bus. Each I/O module can be removed from
the front individually from its position for replacement.
Each I/O module includes a built-in removable terminal block
with finger-safe cover for connections to I/O
sensors/actuators. The terminal block is behind a door at
the front of the module. I/O wiring can be routed from
beneath the module to the I/O terminals.

I/O Connection Hardware (Wiring Systems)

1492 Series

Instead of connecting wires to the RTB on 1769 I/O modules
yourself, you can buy either of two wiring systems:
• Interface modules (IFMs) and pre-wired cables. You
must select one of each. An IFM mounts on a DIN rail.
Pre-wired cables are totally factory-wired cable
assemblies. One end of the cable assembly plugs into
the IFM. At the other end is an RTB that plugs into the
front of the I/O module. For digital I/O, see the chart for
selecting IFMs for digital I/O modules (page 10-13) and
the chart for selecting pre-wired cables for 1769 digital I/O
modules (page 10-14). Pre-wired cables are not available
for the 1769-IQ6XOW4 module. For analog I/O, see the
chart for selecting IFMs for analog I/O modules
(page 10-15) and the chart for selecting pre-wired cables
