About the Controller
The following graphic shows a CompactLogix 5380 controller.
Required System Components
Before you install the controller, verify that you have the 
following components.
WARNING: 
• If you connect or disconnect wiring while the field-side power is on, an electrical arc can occur. This could cause an explosion in hazardous location 
installations. Be sure that power is removed or the area is nonhazardous before proceeding.
• When you insert or remove the SD memory card while power is on, an electrical arc can occur. This could cause an explosion in hazardous location 
installations. Be sure that power is removed or the area is nonhazardous before proceeding.
• When you press the reset button while power is on, an electrical arc can occur. This could cause an explosion in hazardous location installations. Be sure that 
power is removed or the area is nonhazardous before proceeding.
• When you change switch settings while power is on, an electrical arc can occur. This could cause an explosion in hazardous location installations. Be sure that 
power is removed or the area is nonhazardous before proceeding.
WARNING: Do not use the USB port in hazardous locations.

Components Needed to Install a CompactLogix 5380 Controller
Component Description
Removable 
Terminal Blocks 
(RTB)
One of the following RTB types for each power type:
MOD Power (system-side power)
• 5069-RTB4-SCREW RTB
• 5069-RTB4-SPRING RTB
SA Power (field-side power)
• 5069-RTB6-SCREW RTB
• 5069-RTB6-SPRING RTB
IMPORTANT: RTBs do not ship with CompactLogix 5380 controllers. You 
must order RTBs separately.
The RTBs are available in 5069 RTB kits. The 5069-RTB64-SCREW kit 
contains the 5069-RTB6-SCREW and 5069-RTB4-SCREW RTBs. The 5069-
RTB64-SPRING kit contains the 5069-RTB6-SPRING and 5069-RTB4-SPRING 
RTBs. We recommend that you order only the RTB type that your system 
requires.
External power 
supply for 
Module (MOD) 
Power
A power supply that is adequately sized to provide MOD power, that is, 
system-side power, to the CompactLogix 5380 system.
