 ControlLogix Chassis Installation Instructions

Install the Chassis

After planning your system, use these instructions to install the chassis.

ATTENTION: Do not drill holes above an installed chassis. Metal chips from drilling can damage the backplane and cause intermittent operation.

IMPORTANT Chassis are intended to be mounted only horizontally. Do not mount vertically.
1. Drill holes in the back panel of the enclosure for the chassis mounting tabs.
2. Scrape paint off the back panel for an electrical connection between the chassis and back panel.
3. Hold the chassis in place against the holes.

ATTENTION: If the chassis mounting tabs do not lay flat before the screws are tightened, use additional washers as shims so the chassis isn’t warped
by tightening the screws.
Warping a chassis can damage the backplane and cause intermittent operation.

4. Install the hardware for the top mounting tabs and tighten. See Parts Required on page 5 for more information.
5. Install the remaining tab screws, but leave the leftmost bottom tab open for the functional ground.

Leave the leftmost bottom tab open.

Ground the Chassis

This figure shows an example grounding configuration. After you complete the grounding steps, your system looks similar to this figure.

To minimize the resistance between the chassis and ground connection, keep wire lengths as short as possible.

To Grounding-electrode System

Use these guidelines when connecting the grounding:

• Use a steel enclosure to guard against electromagnetic interference (EMI).
• Install a bonding wire for electrical contact between the enclosure door and the enclosure; do not rely on the hinge.
• Make sure the enclosure-door viewing window is a laminated screen or a conductive optical substrate (to block EMI).

Install a Central Ground Bus

Each enclosure must contain a central ground bus. The ground bus is the common connection for each chassis within the enclosure and the enclosure itself. For more
information on how to install a central ground bus, see the Industrial Automation Wiring and Grounding Guidelines, publication 1770-4.1.

Connect the Functional Earth Ground on the Chassis

Use 8.3 mm² (8 AWG) solid or stranded-copper wire that is rated at 90 °C (194 °F) or greater to connect the functional earth ground as shown in the following figure.

Item Description
1 Chassis mounting tab
2 Equipment grounding conductor (ground lug with 8.3 mm² [8 AWG] solid or stranded-copper wire that is rated at
90 °C [194 °F] or greater)

Connect the Protective Earth Ground

Use 2.1 mm² (14 AWG) solid or stranded-copper wire that is rated at 90 °C (194 °F) or greater to connect the protective earth ground. Tighten the nuts on the protective earth
ground terminal stud to a torque of 1.35 N•m (12 lb•in). Connect the functional earth ground as shown in this figure.

Connect Ground Bus to Grounding-electrode System

Use a grounding-electrode conductor to connect the ground bus to the grounding-electrode system.

At minimum, use 8.3 mm² (8 AWG) solid or stranded-copper wire that is rated at 90 °C (194 °F) or greater for the grounding-electrode conductor to guard against EMI. The
National Electrical Code specifies safety requirements for the grounding-electrode conductor.
