Removable Terminal Block ControlLogix, 36 Pin Cage-Clamp, Rockwell Automation

1756 ControlLogix I/O Modules The ControlLogix architecture provides a wide range of input and output modules to span many applications, from high-speed digital to process control. The ControlLogix architecture uses Producer-Consumer technology, which allows input information and output status to be shared among multiple ControlLogix controllers. Each ControlLogix I/O module mounts in a ControlLogix chassis and requires either a removable terminal block (RTB) or a 1492 interface module (IFM) to connect all field-side wiring. RTBs and IFMs are not included with the I/O modules. They must be ordered separately. Removable Terminal Blocks Removable terminal blocks (RTBs) provide a flexible interconnection between your plant wiring and 1756 I/O modules. The RTB plugs into the front of the I/O module. The type of module determines which RTB you need. You can choose screw-clamp or spring-clamp RTBs. RTBs are not shipped with I/O modules. You must order them separately. The standard housing on the front of the wiring arm is not deep enough for 2.5 mm2 (14 AWG) wiring. If you plan to use 2.5 mm2 (14 AWG) wiring, also order the extended housing. Wiring Systems As an alternative to buying RTBs and connecting the wires yourself, you can buy a wiring system of:: interface modules (IFMs) that provide the output terminal blocks for digital I/O modules. Use the pre-wired cables that match the I/O module to the IFM. analog interface modules (AIFMs) that provide the output terminal blocks for analog I/O modules. Use the pre-wired cables that match the I/O module to the AIFM. I/O module-ready cables. One end of the cable assembly is an RTB that plugs into the front of the I/O module. The other end has individually color-coded conductors that connect to a standard terminal block.
