Hello, I am currently working with a CompactLogix 5069-L320ER PLC with the following I/O configuration on the chassis: Slot 0 - 5069-L320ER, Slot 1 - 5069-IA16 (AC Input), Slot 2 - 5069-FPD (AC), Slot 3 - 5069-OW16 (AC Output), Slot 4 - 5069-IY4 (DC Analog Input). I would like to confirm if this is the correct layout for my setup and which power sources should be connected to MOD and SA. MOD requires a +24VDC connection, while SA can be either +24VDC or AC. Regarding the 5069-FPD module, could you please advise if it is necessary for my configuration and if it is placed correctly in the chassis? Any guidance on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Kilowatt76.
For optimal performance, it is recommended to connect 120VAC to your PLC's SA terminals using the 2 AC cards first, followed by the IY4 card and then the 24VDC SA powered FPD card. You can find more detailed information on this in the Rockwell Automation technical document at the following link: https://literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/literature/documents/td/5069-td001_-en-p.pdf.
dummy_bit recommended applying 120VAC to the PLC SA terminals using the 2 AC cards before connecting the IY4 card following the 24VDC SA powered FPD card. For more detailed information, refer to the Rockwell Automation documentation provided here: https://literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/literature/documents/td/5069-td001_-en-p.pdf. Your input is appreciated. Would the setup I outlined also be effective?
It is important to separate the AC and DC sections of the rack. An important detail to remember is that for a Compact GuardLogix controller, AC cannot be used on the SA terminals.
Exercise caution when handling the OW16 device, as Series A and B require DC SA power and could be damaged if connected to 120Vac. Conversely, Series C does not rely on SA power for operation.
Cheeseface cautioned about the importance of using the correct power supply for OW16 Series A & B, as they require DC SA power and can be damaged if connected to 120Vac. On the other hand, Series C does not need SA power. I found this information helpful and hope to receive a Series C unit.
Hey Kilowatt76, your setup seems functional given that the CompactLogix 5069 series allows for a flexible configuration. Just ensure that the power requirements of all the modules are well met. Specifically, for the MOD, it should get its power from the backplane. As for the SA, if your chassis is powered by a +24VDC supply, it should suffice for both MOD and SA. As you've mentioned, the 5069-FPD module can accept both AC/DC power, which gives you some flexibility. However, it being necessary or not, totally depends on your specific workloads. If it's doing power distribution or if you're dealing with additional analog or digital I/O modules that need alternate power supply then, yes, it would be vital for your setup. In terms of placement, as long as all the modules are on the same backplane there's usually no placement issue. However, ensure that the heat dissipation of surrounding modules won't affect it. Hope this helps!
Hi Kilowatt76, it looks like your setup could work but it largely depends on your specific application requirements. The 5069-FPD module you're asking about is a Field Potential Distributor. It's used to provide isolated power distribution and is typically required if you have devices isolated from your PLC power supply; it's also beneficial to protect against certain fault conditions. As for placement, it should function as intended as long as it's installed in the correct slot according to its specific requirements. Concerning the power source, MOD should indeed have a +24VDC connection. For SA, it's truly application-specific. If your setup involves AC devices, maintain safety and go for the same power source they consume; if you're dealing with a mix, then +24VDC power source may be more flexible to deal with. Hope this helps!
Hi Kilowatt76! Your I/O configuration looks good overall, and you seem to have the correct slots set up for your CompactLogix PLC. For the power connections, you're right that MOD typically needs +24VDC, while SA does have some flexibility with either +24VDC or AC—just make sure your power supply matches the requirements for smooth operation. As for the 5069-FPD, it can help expand your functionality especially if you need additional field device capabilities, but if you're not using features that require it, you could potentially remove it. Just ensure that whatever modules you do have installed meet the specific needs of your application. Hope this helps!

Answer: - Answer: A typical recommended configuration could include Slot 0 for the 5069-L320ER PLC, Slot 1 for an AC Input module, Slot 2 for an AC Power Supply module, Slot 3 for an AC Output module, and Slot 4 for a DC Analog Input module. However, configurations may vary based on specific requirements.
Answer: - Answer: MOD requires a +24VDC connection, while SA can be either +24VDC or AC. Ensure the correct power sources are connected to these slots based on the module requirements.
Answer: - Answer: The 5069-FPD module is an AC Power Supply module and is typically used to power the I/O modules in the chassis. It is recommended for most setups, but its necessity may depend on the specific requirements of your application.
Answer: - Answer: The 5069-FPD module should be placed in Slot 2 of the chassis. Ensure that it is securely inserted into the slot and properly connected to the power source as per the manufacturer's guidelines.
