Allen-Bradley Zone Control I/O Cards Installation Instructions
Allen-Bradley Zone Control I/O Cards are 20-point I/O cards designed for material handling and other applications. They provide a comprehensive solution for connecting sensors, actuators, and other devices to a DeviceNet network. These cards offer zone control functionality, enabling communication directly with each other without hard wiring. You can easily configure the card's parameters through a DeviceNet configuration tool, such as RSNetWorx for DeviceNet software.

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://literature.rockwellautomation.com) 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

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 consequences.
SHOCK HAZARD Labels may be located on or inside the equipment (for example, drive or motor) to alert
people that dangerous voltage may be present.
BURN HAZARD Labels may be located on or inside the equipment (for example, drive or motor) to alert
people that surfaces may reach dangerous temperatures.

About the Cards
The 1799 Zone Control I/O cards are 20-point I/O cards that communicate via the
DeviceNet network. These cards are intended for material handling and other applications.
The cards also have zone control capability, which lets the cards communicate directly with
each other without hard wiring them together and using a scanner.
These cards have 10 inputs and 10 outputs. Inputs are 24V dc sourcing (PNP) or sinking
(NPN). Outputs are self-protected 24V dc sourcing (1799-ZCIOB and 1799 -D10U10BZC) or
sinking (1799-ZCIOV and 1799 -D10U10VZC).
Zone Control I/O Cards
ATTENTION This equipment is intended for use in a Pollution Degree 2 industrial environment,
in overvoltage Category II applications (as defined in IEC publication 60664-1), at
altitudes up to 2000 m (6562 ft) without derating.
This equipment is considered Group 1, Class A industrial equipment according to
IEC/CISPR Publication 11. Without appropriate precautions, there may be
potential difficulties ensuring electromagnetic compatibility in other environments
due to conducted as well as radiated disturbance.
This equipment is supplied as open type equipment. It must be mounted within an
enclosure that is suitably designed for those specific environmental conditions that
will be present and appropriately designed to prevent personal injury resulting from
accessibility to live parts. The interior of the enclosure must be accessible only by
the use of a tool. The enclosure must have suitable flame-retardant properties to
prevent or minimize the spread of flame, complying with a flame spread rating of
5VA, V2, V1, V0 (or equivalent) if non-metallic. Subsequent sections of this
publication may contain additional information regarding specific enclosure type
ratings that are required to comply with certain product safety certifications.
In addition to this publication, see:
• Industrial Automation Wiring and Grounding Guidelines, Allen-Bradley publication
1770-4.1, for additional installation requirements.
• NEMA Standards publication 250 and IEC publication 60529, as applicable, for
explanations of the degrees of protection provided by different types of enclosure.
