· Belden 8761 (shielded, twisted pair) cable or equivalent
Steps for Success
You do not need to remove the supplied 18-position terminal block from the module. If
however, you do remove the terminal block, use the write-on label to identify your module’s
location. Before wiring the terminal block, turn off the power, unscrew the two retaining
screws at the top and bottom of the terminal block, and carefully pry the terminal block
loose.
1. Determine the backplane power requirements.
2. Set your DIP switches or shunts, if applicable.
3. Wire your module.
4. Assign your module to a slot.
5. Configure each channel.
6. Set limits, scale if applicable.
7. Monitor each channel’s data.
8. Check each channel’s configuration and status.
Before removing the terminal block, take time to plan your system:
· Ensure that the SLC 500 system is properly grounded and installed in a NEMA-rated enclosure.
· Turn off the power.
· Route the field wiring away from other wiring and as far as possible from sources of electrical
noise, such as motors, transformers, contactors, and AC devices.
· Route the field wiring in grounded conduit if possible.
· Ensure that the field wiring crosses AC or power cables at a right angle.
Wire field devices to your module as shown in the following wiring diagrams, using a
maximum wire size of 14 AWG and a maximum of two wires per terminal. The recommended
terminal screw torque is 7 to 9 in.-lb.

7. Monitor each channel’s data
Each channel has three associated data words and one status word. Counter data is provided in
two forms, count and rate. The count data is the combintation of word 1 (MSW) and 2
(LSW). Frequency data is word 3. When the Instant/Average configuration bit is set to 0, the
rate data is based on a single count trigger. When set in Average mode, the rate value is a 1
second average of count data.

to use these features, set output words 6 and 7 to 0. Setting output words 6 and 7 to 0 disables
limiting and invalidates scaling.

You cannot use output data limiting with user-defined scaling.
Important – The values in output words 6 and 7 apply to all four channels. If you want to
use user-defined scaling or output data limiting, you must set all four channels to the same
data format.
5. Configure each channel
The input configuration word detailed below shows the configuration setup for a given
channel. Each channel has four associated words. Note the appropriate word address before
performing configuration.
7. Control each channel’s signal level
Use Output Words 0-3 (address O:e.0 – O:e.3) to control the output signal level of each
channel. The output signal level depends on the data format and output range selected.

Before wiring the terminal block, unscrew the two retaining screws at the top and bottom of
the terminal block, and carefully pry the terminal block loose.
Before wiring the terminal block, take time to plan your system:
· Ensure that the SLC 500 system is properly grounded and installed in a NEMA-rated
enclosure.
· Ensure that the load resistance is <500ΩW for a current output channel and > 1 kΩW for a
voltage output channel.
· Route the field wiring away from other wiring and as far as possible from sources of
electrical noise, such as motors, transformers, contactors, and AC devices.
· Route the field wiring in grounded conduit if possible.
· Ensure that the field wiring crosses AC or power cables at a right angle.

2. Wire your module
To wire field devices to your module, follow these steps:
1. Turn off power to the I/O chassis.
2. Optional: Remove the supplied 18-position terminal block from the module. To remove
the terminal block, unscrew the two retaining screws at the top and bottom of the terminal
block, and pull the terminal block loose.
3. Wire field devices to your module as shown in the following wiring diagrams, using a
maximum wire size of 14 AWG and a maximum of two wires per terminal. The recommended terminal screw torque is 7 to 9 in.-lb.
4. Install a wire tie in the slot below the terminal block and secure the wires.
CE Compliance Requirements
For installations requiring CE compliance, you must perform the following:
· Observe the grounding guidelines provided in Allen-Bradley’s SLC 500 Installation and
Operation Manual (Allen-Bradley publication 1747-NI002).
· Connect an E-GND terminal on the module directly to a rack-mounting bolt.
· Hard wire or permanently connect the PLC to the AC mains, or provide a pin and sleeve
(IEC 309) connector for connection to the AC mains.
This equipment is intended for use in over-voltage category II installations (see IEC 364-4443), where the rated mains supply voltage does not exceed 1000 Vac (50/60 Hz) or 1500
Vdc. If the input power is rated above these levels, ensure that your system is isolated from
the power main by an isolation transformer (or equivalent over-voltage protection device)
that has CE approval or approval from a European test agency.
For the 1746sc-IA8I, 1746sc-IM8I and 1746sc-OAP8I, you must also protect against
electrical shock by installing the I/O chassis in an enclosure with an IP20 to IP29 rating per
IEC 529. The enclosure should have warning labels (hazard symbol 417-IEC-5036) and/or a
mechanical disconnect to minimize the risk of accidental shock during maintenance. Use an
enclosure that can only be opened with a key or tool.
For CE compliance, Ferrite EMI Suppressors are needed on each channel’s terminal block
connection. Apply the suppressor close to the module terminal block. A Steward Part
2882024-0A0 or equivalent is recommended.
Before wiring the terminal block, take time to plan your system:
· Ensure that the SLC 500 system is properly grounded and installed in a NEMA-rated
enclosure.
· Ensure that the load resistance is <500 Ω for a current output channel and >1 kΩ for a
voltage output channel.
· Route the field wiring away from other wiring and as far as possible from sources of
electrical noise, such as motors, transformers, contactors and AC devices.
· Route the field wiring in grounded conduit if possible.
· Ensure that the field wiring crosses AC or power cables at a right angle.
For CE compliance, Ferrite EMI Suppressors are needed on each channel’s terminal block
connection. Apply the suppressor close to the module terminal block. A Steward Part
2882024-0A0 or equivalent is recommended.

JP9, JP10 and JP12 Setup
The NI8u module supports up to four RTDs on channels 4 through 7. In order to properly
support RTD or resistance inputs, JP9, JP10 and JP12 have to be configured correctly. The
function of JP9 and JP10 is to define the input path for the channels 4 through 7. JP9 and
JP10 are four pin headers toward the right side of the board, looking at the primary side of
the board with the terminal block pointing up. JP12 is a three pin header on the very bottom
right hand corner, below JP11.
Setting for RTD or Resistance Inputs
The module will either support zero RTD or resistance inputs or four RTD or resistance
inputs in channels 4 through 7. To properly configure JP9 and JP10 for RTDs, set the shunts
across pins 2 and 3 of the four pin headers. JP12 also needs to have pins 2 and 3 connected
when RTDs or resistance inputs are to be used, as shown below.

2. Set your DIP switches or shunts, if applicable
The 1746sc-NI8u module is a multi-purpose, multi-functional module, which is capable of
supporting many different input types in a very small package. There are a few shunts on the
board that allow the user to define input paths properly, which are imperative for the
configuration control to allow proper utilization of the module. JP1 through JP8 supports the
current input mode options for each of the input channels, 0 through 7, respectively. In order
to define channels 4 through 7 for voltage or RTD inputs, JP9 and JP10, must be configured
properly. JP11 is used at the factory and should not be modified. JP12 indicates whether or
not RTDs are to be used in the configuration. The module is shipped with all current input
shunts in place, and the remaining shunts installed for non-RTD inputs. The shunts are to be
modified prior to installation of the module. Proper precautions for electrostatic handling
should be followed. Small needlenose pliers may be used to configure the shunts, if needed.
The following diagram shows the module outline defining the location of the various shunts,
looking at the primary side of the board, with the terminal block pointing up. A brief
description of each follows:

JP1, JP2, JP3, JP4, JP5, JP6, JP7 and JP8 Setup
There are eight shunts corresponding to eight inputs, respectively, that exist to support the
0 to 20mA or 4 to 20mA current input selections. Each channel has an individual shunt (JP1Ch. 0, JP2 - Ch. 2 through JP8 - Ch. 7). These shunts are two pin headers that only need to
be connected if a channel is to be configured for current input. If the channel is to be used for
any other type (thermocouple, millivolt, voltage for channels 0 through 3 or thermocouple,
millivolt, voltage, RTD or resistance for channels 4 through 7), then the pins are to be left
open and unconnected.
