The ControlLogix system is a modular system that requires a 1756 I/O chassis.
All of the chassis are designed for horizontal-only, back-panel mounting. Place
any module into any slot. The backplane provides a high-speed
communication path between modules.

Important User Information

Solid state equipment has operational characteristics differing from those of electromechanical equipment. Safety Guidelines
for the Application, Installation and Maintenance of Solid State Controls (publication SGI-1.1 available from your local Rockwell
Automation sales office or online at http://www.rockwellautomation.com/literature/) describes some important differences
between solid state equipment and hard-wired electromechanical devices. Because of this difference, and also because of the
wide variety of uses for solid state equipment, all persons responsible for applying this equipment must satisfy themselves that
each intended application of this equipment is acceptable.
In no event will Rockwell Automation, Inc. be responsible or liable for indirect or consequential damages resulting from the use
or application of this equipment.
The examples and diagrams in this manual are included solely for illustrative purposes. Because of the many variables and
requirements associated with any particular installation, Rockwell Automation, Inc. cannot assume responsibility or liability for
actual use based on the examples and diagrams.
No patent liability is assumed by Rockwell Automation, Inc. with respect to use of information, circuits, equipment, or software
described in this manual.
Reproduction of the contents of this manual, in whole or in part, without written permission of Rockwell Automation, Inc., is

Throughout this manual, when necessary, we use notes to make you aware of safety considerations.

WARNING
Identifies information about practices or circumstances that can cause an explosion in a hazardous environment,
which may lead to personal injury or death, property damage, or economic loss.

IMPORTANT Identifies information that is critical for successful application and understanding of the product.

ATTENTION
Identifies information about practices or circumstances that can lead to personal injury or death, property damage,
or economic loss. Attentions help you identify a hazard, avoid a hazard, and recognize the consequence

SHOCK HAZARD
Labels may be on or inside the equipment, for example, a drive or motor, to alert people that dangerous voltage may
be present.

BURN HAZARD
Labels may be on or inside the equipment, for example, a drive or motor, to alert people that surfaces may reach
dangerous temperatures.
