Removable terminal blocks (RTBs) Connect the following to the controller:
• MOD power
• SA power
• UPS control signal
Yes
Replaceable fans Help maintain lower operating temperatures. Yes Replaceable Fans on

External power supply
(1)
Provides Sensor/Actuator (SA) Power to the
system
Yes - Only if the system
requires SA power.
If the system does not
require SA power, the
external power supply
is not needed.
Uninterruptible power supply (UPS) Provides control signals that let the controller
experience a controlled shutdown if the source of
MOD power is lost
No
IMPORTANT:
CompactLogix 5480
controller systems
typically use a UPS.
Logix Designer application Configures the project that defines Logix control
engine activity.
Yes Create a Logix Designer Application Project on
