Chapter 2        About the FLEX I/O Diagnostic Input Module
Wiring Input Sensors
You must use a 1794-TB32 or 1794-TB32S terminal base unit with the 
1794-IB16D diagnostic input module. See FLEX I/O Digital Input and Output 
Modules with Diagnostics Installation Instructions, publication 1794-IN096
 for 
complete information.
Two-wire input devices connect to the input and sensor power terminals; 3-wire 
devices use input, sensor power, and common terminals. You can wire 2-wire and 
3-wire sensors to the FLEX I/O 1794-TB32 or 1794-TB32S terminal base units.
Unused sensor-power ports or open-contact input devices must use a dummy 
resistor to mask the diagnostic function. If these external resistors are not used, 
the module’s fault indicator will light, along with the module’s error bits, thus 
rendering fault detection of the remaining channels useless. The recommended 
value of this dummy resistor is 20 k(+
10%), 1/8 watt (or larger). Connect the 
resistor between sensor power and input signal or between sensor power and 
common.
