Connecting Expansion Modules

An adapter provides the interface between the OPLC and an expansion module. To connect the I/O module to

the adapter or to another module:

1. Push the module-to-module connector into the port located on the right side of the device.

Note that there is a protective cap provided with the adapter. This cap covers the port of the final

I/O module in the system.

◼ To avoid damaging the system, do not connect or disconnect the device when the

power is on.

Wiring

◼ Do not touch live wires.

◼ Unused pins should not be connected. Ignoring this directive may damage the device.

◼ Double-check all wiring before turning on the power supply.

Wiring Procedures

Use crimp terminals for wiring; use 26-14 AWG wire (0.13 mm 2–3.31 mm2) for all wiring purposes.

1. Strip the wire to a length of 7±0.5mm (0.250–0.300 inches).

2. Unscrew the terminal to its widest position before inserting a wire.

3. Insert the wire completely into the terminal to ensure that a proper connection can be made.

4. Tighten enough to keep the wire from pulling free.

◼ To avoid damaging the wire, do not exceed a maximum torque of 0.5 N·m (5 kgf·cm).

◼ Do not use tin, solder, or any other substance on stripped wire that might cause the wire strand to break.

◼ Install at maximum distance from high-voltage cables and power equipment.

I/O Wiring—General

◼ Input or output cables should not be run through the same multi-core cable or share the same wire.

◼ Allow for voltage drop and noise interference with input lines used over an extended distance. Use wire

that is properly sized for the load.

Analog Inputs

◼ Shields should be connected at the signal source.

RTD

* RTD input types PT1000/NI1000 support a two-wire connection, because the high resistance (1000 ohm)

of the sensor element compensates for voltage drop.

Addressing I/Os on Expansion Modules

Inputs and outputs located on I/O expansion modules that are connected to an OPLC are assigned

addresses that comprise a letter and a number. The letter indicates whether the I/O is an input (I) or an

output (O). The number indicates the I/O’s location in the system. This number relates to both the position

of the expansion module in the system, and to the position of the I/O on that module.

Expansion modules are numbered from 0-72 as shown in the figure below.

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Expansion module

identification number

Adapter

The formula below is used to assign addresses for I/O modules used in conjunction with the OPLC.

X is the number representing a specific module’s location (0-7). Y is the number of the input or output on that

specific module (0-15).

The number that represents the I/O’s location is equal to:

32 + x • 16 + y

Examples

◼ Input #3, located on expansion module #2 in the system, will be addressed as I 67,

67 = 32 + 2 • 16 + 3

◼ Output #4, located on expansion module #3 in the system, will be addressed as O 84,

84 = 32 + 3 • 16 + 4.
