Connect field power to individual cards

The 8-Wide I/O Carrier ships with removable fused plugs for delivering fused 24 VDC field power to individual cards through the internal power bus. Alternatively, field power can be individually wired to each card by removing the fused plug, replacing it with a terminal plug, and wiring either a fused 24 VDC circuit or 120/230 VAC circuit to the card.

Determine the type of field power connection for the card.

Option	Description
24 VDC field power through the internal power bus:	Install a fused plug in the socket above the I/O card to connect the internally bussed 24 VDC power to the I/O card's field circuits.
24 VDC individually wired field power:	Remove the fused plug from the socket above the I/O card and install a terminal plug in the socket. Connect a fused 24 VDC circuit to the terminal plug.
120/230 individually wired field power:	Remove the fused plug from the socket above the I/O card and install a terminal plug in the socket. Connect a fused 120 or 230 VAC circuit to the terminal plug.
