Install the CompactLogix 5370 L2 Controller Chapter 3
Complete these steps to connect power to the CompactLogix 5370 L2
control system.
1. Verify that the external 24V DC power source is not powered.
2. Mount the external 24V DC power source on a DIN rail.
The external 24V DC power source can be installed on the same DIN
rail as the controller or a separate DIN rail.
3. Connect wires to the 24V DC+ and 24V DC- connections on the
external 24V DC power source.
4. Strip 8 mm (0.31 in.) insulation from the end of the wire that you
connect to the +24VDC terminal on the controller.
5. Connect the wire from the 24VDC+ terminal on the external 24V DC
power source to the +24VDC terminal on the controller.
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.
