Pre-Installation Planning 
Overview 
Methodical pre-planning of an installation will preclude false starts and errors that can cause costly 
hardware re-configuration and/or poor system performance. Factors to consider in your pre-installation 
planning include: 
  C75 CPUs require two Power Supply Modules -900P01 or 900P02 power supplies.  C70R CPU requires 
900P02 power supplies. 
  I/O Rack can use AC Power Supply 900P01, 900P02 (see page 46) or +24DC Power Supply 900P24 
(see page 48). 
  Limit of ten 4 channel, (five 8 channel or two 16 channel if powered from backplane) Analog Output 
modules can be installed per rack. Limit of 4 PFQ modules. 
  Power Supply rack space (if using redundant I/O power) (see page 49) 
  Rack orientation and mounting (see page 48) 
  Remote Terminal Panels (see page 51) 
  Environmental conditions (see page 51) 
  Heat rise de-rating (see page 52) 
  Cabling/wiring distance planning (see page 54) 
  Electrical considerations: controller grounding, CE conformity, grouping wires, master control relay for 
emergency shutdown (see page 56) 
  System monitor function blocks (see page 62)
