Analog I/O Conversion Module
(Cat 1492-CM1771-LA001)
I. Description
This Analog I/O Conversion Module provides for the conversion of (1) 1771, 16 Channel I/O module to be converted to (1) 1756, 16 Channel I/O module and consists of the following:
(1) 1771 Module (16ch) to (1) 1756 Module (16ch)
(2) Conversion Module: 1492-CM1771-LA001
(1) Cable: 1492-CONACAB005A or 1492-CONACAB005B (Table 2)
(1) Conversion Mounting Assembly: 1492-MUA… (Table 1)
This conversion is accomplished without the removal of any field wires from the existing 1771 Swing Arm. The existing 1771 Swing Arm fits directly onto the edge connector of the 1492 Conversion Module. On one end of the
1492 Cable is (1) connector for the Conversion Module. On the other end is the Removable Terminal Block (RTB) for the 1756 I/O module, as shown in the photo below. The I/O signals are routed through the 1492 Conversion
Module and the 1492 Cable to the appropriate terminals on the 1756 I/O module per the Wiring Diagrams in
Section V. As standard, both portions of the 1492 Cables are 0.5M long, but we also offer a 1.0M cable length.
Refer to the footnotes in Table 2 for further details.

II. Installation
The 1492 Conversion Modules must be installed in a 1492 Conversion Mounting Assembly (see Table 1 below). A complete System Installation Manual ships with the 1492 Conversion Mounting Assembly.
1) Determine the quantity of each type of 1771 I/O modules used in the 1771 I/O Chassis to be converted.
2) Select the applicable 1492 Conversion Modules from Table 2, Section III.
3) Review the Max Slots for I/O and Chassis Width data from the Table 1 below.
4) Select a 1756 I/O Chassis which has enough I/O Slots.
NOTE: (2) I/O slots are required in the 1756 Chassis for conversions where (1) 1771 I/O module converts to (2) 1756 I/O modules.
5) Select the 1492 Conversion Mounting Assembly which has enough Conversion Module slots.
NOTE: (2) Conversion Module slots are required in the 1492 Conversion Mounting Assembly for conversions where (2)
1771 I/O module convert to (1) 1756 I/O modules.
NOTE: The 1492 Conversion Mounting Assembly has the same Height & Width foot-print as the 1771 Chassis and is designed to use the same mounting hardware. The combined Depth of the 1492 Conversion Mounting Assembly with the
1756 Chassis mounted on top is 10.25 inches (Controller w/key) or 10.0 inches (Controller w/o key). Dimension drawings are included in the System Installation Manual that ships with the 1492 Conversion Mounting Assembly.

Conversion Module Installation and Application Considerations
This Bul. 1492 cable consists of a cable wired to one 1756-IF16 RTB. Recommended cable lengths of 0.5M or 1.0M (005=0.5M, 010=1.0M).
See table 2 for other lengths.
SHIELD GROUNDING: In some installations, the field wiring shield was grounded on the 1771 chassis. If this was the case, the installer must remove these shield connections from the 1771 chassis and they can be connected to the grounding stud on the 1492-CM1771-LA001 module.
The pre-wired cable used between the 1492-CM1771-LA001 module and the 1756-IF16 [1492-CONACAB005B] provides a shield ground lug to ground the shield at the 1756 ControlLogix chassis, this must be connected. Do NOT connect this ground lug to the conversion module grounding stud.
This design assumes that all inputs on the1771-IFE were connected to current transmitters. If there was a mix of current and voltage transmitters, then modification of the pre-wired cable [1492-CONACAB005B] will need to occur at the 1756-IF16 terminal block.
Refer to the 1756-IF16 Installation Manual for modification details.
The 1771-IFE analog input ranges were configured via software, as is the input range for the 1756-IF16. Please ensure the correct input range is configured in the 1756-IF16.
Refer to your 1771-IFE and 1756-IF16 Installation and User Manuals for additional information concerning comparisons of module wiring, details. [Reference Doc: 41170-944 (Version 02)]
