Installation Instructions
FlexLogix Controller System
catalog number 1794-L33, -L34
1794-FLA
Before You Begin
Use this document as a guide for installing and powering-up your FlexLogix
controller system. This guide provides installation instructions for both the
FlexLogix controller (1794-L33, -L34) and the FlexLogix extended-local I/O adapter
(1794-FLA). You should already be familiar with the FlexLogix system components.
See the documentation references for additional information.
Tools that you need
slotted screwdriver
phillips screwdriver
mounting hardware (for mounting a DIN rail)
drill (for mounting a DIN rail)
needle-nose pliers
IMPORTANT
Installation instructions ship with each FlexLogix component. If
you want the FlexLogix System User Manual or other
documentation, you must order it separately. See page 24.

Publication 1794-IN002C-EN-P - June 2001
Handling the FlexLogix system components
Take these precautions to guard against ESD damage:
While backplane power is applied and the system is operating, you can only install
or remove FLEX I/O modules. The FlexLogix controller, the extended-local I/O
adapter, the communication daughtercards, and the I/O terminal bases are not
removable or insertable under power.
ATTENTION
!
ATTENTION
!
Electrostatic discharge can damage the components. Follow
these guidelines:
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 controller
if available, use a static-safe work station
when not in use, store each component in the anti-static
packaging in which it was shipped
WARNING
!
WARNING
!
When you insert or remove a FLEX I/O module while
backplane power is on, an electrical arc may occur. An
electrical arc can cause personal injury or property damage by:
sending an erroneous signal to your systems actuators
causing unintended machine motion or loss of
process control
causing an explosion in a hazardous environment
Repeated electrical arcing causes excessive wear to contacts
on both the module and its mating connector. Worn contacts
may create electrical resistance that can affect module
operation.

Publication 1794-IN002C-EN-P - June 2001
What you need to do
Before you can install a FlexLogix controller or extended-local adapter, you must:
Install steel, 35 x 7.55mm DIN rails (A-B part number 199-DR1; 46277-3)
where you want to place the FlexLogix system components.
The DIN rails for all FlexLogix system components, including all local and
extended-local I/O modules, must be mounted on a common, conductive
surface to ensure proper electromagnetic interference (EMI) performance.
See page 20 and page 21 for mounting dimensions and mounting clearances.
For more information about mounting DIN rails and splitting I/O across DIN
rails, see the FLEX I/O Product Data, publication 1794-2.1
Use DIN rail locks (A-B catalog number 1492-EA35) to meet the shock and
vibrations specifications listed on page 18. A pair of DIN locks comes with
the controller.
Mount an appropriate power supply on an appropriate DIN rail. See the
specifications on page 18.
To install a FlexLogix controller:
Step 1: Verify that you have all the components, see page 4.
Step 2: Install the battery, see page 5.
Step 3: Install any communication daughtercards (optional), see page 6
Step 4: Install the controller, see page 7.
Step 5: Install the extended-local adapter (optional), see page 10.
After you install the FlexLogix controller, you can:
Make an RS-232 connection to the controller, see page 13.
Select the operating mode of the controller see page 16.
Monitor the controller LEDs, see page 17.
