Preface
At the beginning of each chapter, you will find a flowchart that maps the
tasks you must perform as you install the PLC-5 processor system. The
flowcharts guide you with questions about your system. Notice that
underneath each chapter box is a checklist of the tasks contained within
each chapter.
In addition to the 10 chapters shown in the flowchart, the manual contains
these chapters and appendices:

Use an Enclosure
You provide the enclosure for your processor system. This enclosure
protects your processor system from atmospheric contaminants such as oil,
moisture, dust, corrosive vapors, or other harmful airborne substances. To
help guard against EMI/RFI interference, we recommend a steel enclosure.
Mount the enclosure in a position that lets you open the doors fully. You
need easy access to the processor, related components, and wiring so that
troubleshooting is convenient.
When you choose the enclosure size, allow extra space for isolation
transformers, fusing, disconnect switch, master control relay, and
terminal strips.

Chapter 2
The raceway layout of your processor system is related to where you place
the different types of I/O modules in the I/O chassis. Before designing
your raceway layout, refer to your systems chassis layout plans to
determine the position of your I/O modules in their respective chassis.
To plan a raceway layout, do the following:
categorize conductor cables
route conductor cables
Categorize Conductors
Segregate all wires and cables into the following three categories
(Table 2.B):
Table 2.B
Follow These Guidelines for Grouping Conductors
Group conductor cables fitting this description:
Into this
category:
Examples:
Category 1
ac power lines
highpower ac I/O lines - to connect ac I/O modules rated for high power
and high noise immunity
highpower dc I/O lines - to connect dc I/O modules rated for high power
or with input circuits with long timeconstant filters for high noise rejection.
They typically connect devices such as hardcontact switches, relays,
and solenoids
Category 2
Category 3
Refer to the installation instructions for each I/O module you are using for
information about its classification.
2-4
Chapter 2
Route Conductors
To guard against coupling noise from one conductor to another, follow
these general guidelines (Table 2.C) when routing wires and cables (both
inside and outside of an enclosure):
Table 2.C
Follow These Guidelines for Routing Cables
Route this category of conductor cables:
Category 1
What to Do Next

Route conductors external to all raceways or in a raceway separate from any category1

If the power supply has its own groundable chassis, do not connect the
GND terminal of the power supply. However, when you connect power to
a power supply without a groundable chassis (such as an ac input
power-supply module), you must also use 14 AWG copper wire to connect
its GND terminal to the ground stud or mounting bolt connected to the
ground bus.
Do not lay one ground lug directly on top of the other; this type of
connection can become loose due to compression of the metal lugs. Place
the first lug between a star washer and a nut with a captured star washer.
After tightening the nut, place the second lug between the first nut and a
second nut with a captive star washer (Figure 3.4 or Figure 3.5).

Outputs of this I/O chassis remain in their last state when a communication
fault is detected by this I/O adapter.
ATTENTION: We recommend that you set switch 1 to the OFF position to
deenergize outputs wired to this chassis when a fault is detected.
Also, if outputs are controlled by inputs in a different rack and a remote I/O
rack fault occurs (in the inputs rack), the inputs are left in their last non-faulted
state. The outputs may not be properly controlled and potential personnel
and machine damage may result. If you want your inputs to be anything other
than their last nonfaulted state, then you need to program a fault routine.

Important: You can insert or remove the battery without powering down
the processor. However, if you do not want to lose your program, make
sure the processor is powered when replacing the battery.
Important: Memory in the CMOS RAM module is volatile memory.
When you replace the battery in the processor during regular maintenance,
make sure the processor is powered up; otherwise you will lose memory.

Notes:
1. To minimize EMI generation, you should connect a suppression network: for 120V AC, use
AllenBradley cat. no. 700-N24; for 220/240V AC, use cat. no. 599-KA04.
2. To minimize EMI generation, you should connect a suppression network: for 120V AC, use
AllenBradley cat. no. 599-K04; for 220/240V AC, use cat. no. 599-KA04.
3. For a power supply with a groundable power supply chassis, this represents connection to the
power supply chassis only. For a power supply without a groundable power supply chassis,
this represents connection to the GND terminal.
4. In many applications, a second transformer provides power to the input circuits and power
supplies for isolation from the output circuits.

Connect Power
When bringing ac power into the enclosure, do not connect its raceway
through an equipment-grounding conductor to the ground bus on the
back-panel. The raceway should be grounded elsewhere. Connecting the
raceway to the ground bus will cause a ground loop.
Ground loops may introduce objectionable ground currents causing faulty
operation of the processor. Refer to Article 250-21 of the National
Electrical Code for recommended methods of reducing the objectionable
ground current.
When ac power is supplied as a separately derived system through an
isolation/step-down transformer, you can connect it as a grounded ac
system or an ungrounded ac system.
For this type of ac system:

For additional DH+ link wiring information, refer to the Data Highway/

Consult the system diagram for your plant. Determine the following:
Is your processor connecting to the DH+ link using a daisychain or
trunkline/dropline configuration?
If you are installing a trunkline/dropline, what station connectors do
you need?
Use Belden 9463 twinaxial cable (cat. no.1770-CD) cable to connect to
the DH+ link. What cable lengths do you need?
Follow these guidelines while installing DH+ communication links:
at a DH+ communication rate of 57.6 kbps, do not exceed these
cable lengths:
- trunkline cable length 3,044 m (10,000 cable-ft)
- drop cable length 30.4 m (100 cable-ft)
no more than 64 stations can be on a single DH+ link
9-1
Chapter 9
Use the 3-pin connector on the processor to connect a DH+ link. The
connectors port must be configured to support a DH+ communication
link. To connect a processor to a DH+ link, refer to Figure 9.1 and
Table 9.A.

Connecting a PLC5 Processor to a DH+ Link
If you are installing this DH+ Connect the 1770CD cable:
link configuration:
trunkline/dropline
You must terminate the DH+ link on both ends. On PLC-5/10, -5/12,
-5/15, and -5/25 processors, set switch 2 of Assembly SW3 on (closed).
