Compact 5000 Digital 16-point Sinking Input Modules

About the Module

The 5069-IB16, 5069-IB16F, and 5069-IB16K digital 16-point sinking input modules detect input transitions on field devices, meaning they detect when an input changes state from OFF to ON or from ON to OFF. These modules convert input state transition signals to the appropriate logic level used in the controller.

Compact 5000™ I/O modules utilize the Producer/Consumer communication model, an intelligent data exchange where each module produces data without being polled.

These modules are used as local I/O modules in CompactLogix™ 5380, Compact GuardLogix® 5380, and CompactLogix 5480 controller systems. They can also function as remote I/O modules with these controllers and some other Logix 5000™ controllers.

For detailed usage information, refer to the publications listed in the Additional Resources section.

Summary of Changes

Important Safety Information

ATTENTION: Read this document and related installation, configuration, and operation documents before installing, configuring, operating, or maintaining this product. Users must be familiar with installation and wiring instructions, as well as applicable codes, laws, and standards. All activities, including installation, adjustments, commissioning, use, assembly, disassembly, and maintenance, must be performed by appropriately trained personnel in accordance with applicable codes of practice. Improper use may impair the equipment's protection.

This equipment is intended for use in a Pollution Degree 2 industrial environment, in overvoltage Category II applications (as defined in EN/IEC 60664-1), at altitudes up to 2000 m (6562 ft) without derating. It is not intended for residential environments and may not provide adequate protection to radio communication services there.

The equipment is supplied as open-type for indoor use and must be mounted within a suitably designed enclosure that prevents personal injury from live parts and has appropriate flame-retardant properties (5VA rating or approved equivalent). The enclosure interior must be accessible only by a tool.

Ground Considerations: Ground DIN rails according to Industrial Automation Wiring and Grounding Guidelines, publication 1770-4.1. Use zinc-plated chromate-passivated steel DIN rail for proper grounding. Secure DIN rail approximately every 200 mm (7.8 in.) and use end-anchors. Refer to publication 1770-4.1 for more information.

System Power Considerations: Power is supplied by a controller or adapter. Available power types are Module (MOD) power and Sensor/Actuator (SA) power. MOD power operates the I/O modules via the MOD power RTB and bus. SA power powers field devices via the SA power RTB and bus. A system has one MOD power bus. SA power buses are isolated; multiple SA power buses can be established using 5069-FPD field potential distributors. If using AC and DC SA power, they must be on separate SA power buses.

Recommendation: Use separate external power supplies for MOD and SA power to prevent unintended consequences and ensure power availability if one supply fails.

Install a System

Before installing the module, ensure a CompactLogix 5380 controller, CompactLogix 5480 controller, Compact GuardLogix 5380 controller, or a Compact 5000 I/O EtherNet/IP™ adapter is installed. Refer to Additional Resources for installation details.

Required Components

To install the module, you need:

• Removable Terminal Blocks (RTBs): Order separately (e.g., 5089-RT818-SPRING, 5089-RT818-SCREW). Order only the required type.
• End Cap: Ships with controllers and adapters. Used to cover exposed interconnections on the last module.
• Tools: Screwdriver, wire stripper, wires.

Install the Removable Terminal Block (RTB)

WARNING: Do not connect or disconnect the RTB with power applied to prevent electric arcs and potential explosions in hazardous locations. The RTB does not support "removal and insertion under power" (RIUP).

1. Hook the bottom of the RTB onto the module.
2. Push the RTB against the module until it clicks into place.
3. Push the RTB handle against the RTB until another click is heard.

Install the Module

WARNING: Do not insert or remove the module while backplane power is on to prevent electric arcs and potential explosions in hazardous locations. The module does not support "removal and insertion under power" (RIUP).

1. Confirm MOD power and all SA power sources are off. Removing a module with power applied can affect system power.
2. If an end cap is installed on the right-most module, remove it for later use. ATTENTION: Do not discard the end cap; it is needed for the last module on the DIN rail to prevent damage or shock.
3. Confirm the DIN rail latch is closed. If open, push the rear latch back until the front latch pops up and clicks.
4. Align the module's interlocking pieces with the device on the left (top interlocking pieces engage first).
5. Push the module toward the DIN rail until it clicks into place.
6. Verify installation: If next to a controller/adapter, the module front is slightly set back. If next to another I/O module, the fronts are flush.

Install the End Cap

Install the end cap on the last module in the system after it is mounted on the DIN rail. Ensure it locks into place without being pushed too far, which could damage connectors.

1. Align the end cap with the interlocking pieces on the module.
2. Push the end cap toward the DIN rail until it locks.

Wire the Removable Terminal Block

WARNING: Ensure power is removed or the area is nonhazardous before connecting or disconnecting wiring to prevent electric arcs.

1. Confirm MOD power and SA power are off.
2. Strip insulation from wires: 12 mm (0.47 in.) for Screw RTB, 10 mm (0.39 in.) for Spring RTB.
3. Connect wires to terminals:
   • Screw RTB: Insert wire, turn screwdriver to close terminal. Torque to 0.4 N-m (3.5 lb-in).
   • Spring RTB: Push wire into terminal. Use a ferrule for thin wires.

Disconnect Wires from the Removable Terminal Block

WARNING: Ensure power is removed or the area is nonhazardous before disconnecting wiring.

• Screw RTB: Turn screwdriver counter-clockwise to open terminal, then remove wire.
• Spring RTB: Insert screwdriver into the right-side terminal to hold it, remove the wire, then pull out the screwdriver.

Wiring Diagram

The following diagram illustrates connections for the 5069-IB16, 5069-IB16F, and 5069-IB16K modules. Devices can be connected to any channel.

Channel Connections: The diagram shows example connections for channels 0, 3, and 6. Any channel or combination of channels can be used.

SA Power: Connections to an external power supply providing SA power via the SA Power RTB on a controller, adapter (5069-AENTR, 5069-AEN2TR), or field potential distributor (5069-FPD).

Important Notes on SA Power:

• The 5069-IB16 and 5069-IB16F module inputs share a common and return through internal circuitry to the SA (-) terminal.
• If using AC and DC SA power modules in the same system, install them on separate SA power buses established using the 5069-FPD.

Diagram Description: A wiring diagram shows DC (+) and DC (-) power lines connecting to a 2-wire sensor and a 3-wire sensor. These sensors are connected to input channels 0 through 15 on the module's terminal block. Terminals 16 and 17 are marked 'No Connect'. The diagram also indicates the shared common for inputs and the return path to the SA (-) terminal.

Use a Cable Tie

After wiring, use a cable tie to bundle wires and secure them to the lower hook at the bottom of the module.

1. Ensure the cable tie is long enough for the wires (max width 4.5 mm / 0.18 in.).
2. Gather wires at the bottom of the module.
3. Thread the cable tie through the lower hook.
4. Wrap the cable tie around the wires and secure it.

Power the System

After all modules are installed, turn on MOD power and SA power (if used). Refer to System Power Considerations for details.

Remove the Module

ATTENTION: Do not remove or replace the module while power is applied to prevent unintended operation or machine motion.

1. Confirm MOD power and all SA power sources are off. Consider the system-wide effect of power removal.
2. If necessary, remove the end cap from the module.
3. If desired, disconnect wires from the RTB as described previously.
4. Press the DIN rail latch down until it clicks and release.
5. Pull the module off the DIN rail.
