About the Repeater Adapter Module
The 1786-RPA/B ControlNet repeater adapter module, which has a 24V DC, removable power supply, can be used with 1786 repeater modules to build a
ControlNet network repeater. A repeater is used to extend the length of a network, create a star, ring, or point-to-point topology, or perform network media conversion from copper to fiber, and vice versa. A maximum of 20 repeater adapter can be placed in a series.

Mount the Repeater Adapter Module
This section explains how to mount the 1786-RPA/B repeater adapter module.
TIP Horizontal mounting is preferred. Vertical mounting is allowed.
We recommend that the 1786-RPA/B module be mounted at the top if vertical mounting is chosen.
ATTENTION: This product is grounded through the DIN rail to chassis ground. Use zinc plated yellow-chromate steel DIN rail to assure proper grounding. The use of other DIN rail materials (for example, aluminum or plastic) that can corrode, oxidize, or are poor conductors, can result in improper or intermittent grounding.
Secure DIN rail to mounting surface approximately every 200 mm
(7.8 in.) and use end-anchors appropriately.

Do these steps to mount the 1786-RPA/B module.
1.
Position the repeater adapter module on the 35 x 7.5 mm (1.4 x 0.3 in.)
DIN rail (Allen-Bradley part number 199-DR1) at a 30 o
angle.
31454A-M
2.
Hook the lip on the rear of the 1786-RPA/B repeater adapter module onto the top of the DIN rail, and rotate the repeater adapter module onto the rail.
31454B-M
3.
Press the repeater adapter module down onto the DIN rail until flush.
The locking tab should snap into position and lock the repeater adapter module to the DIN rail.
Rockwell Automation Publication 1786-IN013F-EN-P - April 2011
10 ControlNet Modular Repeater Adapter
If the repeater adapter module does not snap into position, use a screwdriver or similar device to move the locking tab down while pressing the repeater adapter flush onto the DIN rail.
31454C-M
4.
Release the locking tab to lock the adapter in place.
If necessary, push up on the locking tab to lock.
5.
Once the repeater adapter module is attached to the DIN rail, slide the repeater modules to the left to mate with the repeater adapter module.

ControlNet Modular Repeater Adapter 11
WARNING: Removal and insertion under power (RIUP) is not supported. This module must be powered down while connecting and disconnecting it from any interconnected modules.
If you insert or remove the module while backplane power is on, an electrical arc can occur. This could cause an explosion in hazardous location installations.
Be sure that power is removed or the area is nonhazardous before proceeding.
6.
Attach the DIN rail locks to the left side of the repeater adapter module and the right side of the attached modules to lock the repeater adapter module and modules in place.
IMPORTANT Make certain that the repeater adapter and modules are secured together with DIN rail locks on either side. Failure to do so may result in the loss of communication and/or cause damage to the modules.
IMPORTANT The total number of modules that can be attached to the
1786-RPA/B repeater adapter cannot exceed four or the total power consumption of the modules cannot exceed 8 W or
1.6 A @ 5V DC, whichever comes first.
The 1786-RPFRL/B and 1786-RPFRXL/B modules require 570 mA each, therefore you can attach only two of these modules to a
1786-RPA/B repeater module. The maximum current draw at
5V DC is 400 mA for the 1786-RPFM module, 300 mA for the
1786-RPFS module, and 499 mA for the 1786-RPCD module.
If you exceed the module or power limit, you may cause damage to the modules and repeater adapter.
Rockwell Automation Publication 1786-IN013F-EN-P - April 2011

7.
Repeat steps 1 through 6 for each of the two DIN rail locks.
IMPORTANT For proper operation when using a 1786-RPFRXL/B module with a
1786-RPCD module attached to the same 1786-RPA/B repeater module, you must install any 1786-RPCD module to the left side of any 1786-RPFRL or 1786-RPFRXL/B repeater module.
8.
Tighten the two screws on the DIN rail lock to a torque of 1.1 N•m (9…11 in•lb).
a. Position the DIN rail lock to the DIN rail.
b. Press the DIN rail lock down onto the DIN rail.
c. Tighten the screws.

Wire the Repeater Adapter Module
This section describes how to wire your module.
WARNING: An electrical arc can occur under these circumstances:
- when you connect or disconnect the removable terminal block (RTB) with field side power applied
- if you connect or disconnect the communications cable with power applied to this module or any device on the network
This could cause an explosion in hazardous location installations. Be sure that power is removed or the area is nonhazardous before proceeding.
TIP Make sure you have obtained the following items before you begin to wire the module:
•
Two lengths of 0.21…3.3 mm
2
(24…12 AWG) wire
