Frequently Asked Questions

What controllers is the 5069-IB6F-3W compatible with?
The module can be used as local I/O in CompactLogix 5380, Compact GuardLogix 5380, and CompactLogix 5480 controller systems. It can also be used as remote I/O with those same controllers and some other Logix 5000 controllers.
Does the RTB ship with the 5069-IB6F-3W module?
No. RTBs do not ship with Compact 5000 I/O modules and must be ordered separately. Compatible RTB types are the 5069-RTB18-SPRING and 5069-RTB18-SCREW.
Does the 5069-IB6F-3W support removal and insertion under power (RIUP)?
No. Neither the module nor the RTB supports RIUP. Power must be removed before connecting or disconnecting the module or RTB to avoid electric arc, which could cause an explosion in hazardous location installations.
What wire sizes are compatible with the RTBs for this module?
Both the screw and spring RTBs accept 0.5…1.5 mm2 (22…16 AWG) solid or stranded shielded copper wire rated at 105 °C (221 °F) or greater. The screw RTB allows a maximum wire diameter of 3.5 mm (0.14 in.) including insulation; the spring RTB allows 2.9 mm (0.11 in.) maximum.
What hazardous location certifications does the 5069-IB6F-3W carry?
The module is approved for North American Class I Division 2 Groups A, B, C, D hazardous locations, and holds UKEX/ATEX and IECEx Zone 2 certifications with protection type Ex ec IIC T4 Gc.
What type of SA power does this module use and how much does it draw?
The module uses DC SA power at 10…32V DC, drawing 950 mA. SA power passthrough capacity is 9.95 A at 10…32V DC. The maximum passthrough current for MOD or SA power must not exceed 10 A.
What enclosure is required for the 5069-IB6F-3W in Zone 2 environments?
When used in UKEX/ATEX/IECEx Zone 2 environments, the module must be mounted in a certified enclosure with a minimum ingress protection rating of IP54, used in an environment of not more than Pollution Degree 2.
