I. Module Description
The 1492-CM800-LD006 conversion module provides field wire signal conversion from a Modicon® B820-008, 10
to 60Vdc, 8-pt output module to a ControLogix 1756-OB8, 10 to 30Vdc or 1756-OC8, 30 to 60Vdc, 8-pt output
module. The conversion module provides the mating connections to the B820-008 swing-arm (terminal block) with
the attached field wires. It routes those signals, via its 20-pin connector and a 1492-CABLEU pre-wired cable to
compatible terminals of the 1756-OB8 or 1756-OC8. To maintain the functionality of the B820-008 output module
the conversion module provides a mechanical fuse for each of the two power supplies (DC-0+ and DC-1+) on the
1756-OB8 and 1756-OC8 (refer to the below Wiring Diagrams for details).
II. Module Installation
The 1492-CM800-LD006 conversion module must be installed in a 1492 conversion base-plate and cover-plate
assembly. The installation of the module into the assembly is explained in the Installation Manual that ships with the
conversion assembly. For a list of compatible assemblies refer to Appendix A
III. Conversion Module Compatibility Matrix
This is the cable length in meters and tenths of meters (e.g. 015 = 1.5 meters). Recommended cable
length is 003 (00.3 meters).

IV. Conversion Module Wiring Diagram
The following diagram shows the connections from the existing B802-008 swing-arm, through the conversion module,
1492 cable and to the 1756-OA8 or 1756-OC8 output module. The diagram can be used as an aid in possible system
troubleshooting.
1756-OB81492-CABLE003U
Conversion Module Installation and Application Considerations
The voltage range of the B820-008 module is 10-60VDC and the 1756-OB8 is 10-30VDC. If the load source voltage is
greater than 30 VDC range, use the 1756-OC8.
The B820-008 module output current limits versus 1756-OB8 limits are as follows:
B820-008 1756-OB8 w/ 1492-CABLE003U
a) Current/Point 2A 2A
b) Current/Group 6A - -
c) Current/Module 12A 8A
d) Surge Current/Pt 10A for 10ms 4A for 10ms
The B820-008 has 4 groups (allowing 4 separate power supplies) and the 1756-OB8 has 2 groups. This module/cable
combination ties Groups 1 & 2 from the B820-008 to Group 0 on the 1756-OB8 and it ties Groups 3 & 4 from the B820-008
to Group 1 on the 1756-OB8. Field wiring modification must be made to accommodate this if multiple supplies were used.
If 4 supplies were used, 2 must be removed.
The B820-008 provided a single fuse per group. The 1756-OB8 is NOT fused. The 1492-CM800-LD006 provides a
5x20mm fuse per 1756-OB8 Group. Fuse rating for this configuration is 4 Amps.
The 1492-CABLE003U current is limited to 2A per pin.
Refer to your B820-008 and 1756-OB8 Installation Manual wiring schematics and diagrams. Ensure 1756 output
module ratings are not exceeded. [Reference Doc: 41170-755 (Version 03)]
