About the FLEX I/O System
FLEX I/O Overview
FLEX I/O offers:

FlexBus connectors Keyswitch
FlexBus connectors

Network
Connector 24V DC field power Terminal strips
FLEX™ I/O is a Distributed I/O System that connects to several Networks including EtherNet/IP™, ControlNet®, and DeviceNet®

Flexible, low-cost, modular I/O for distributed applications. FLEX I/O offers all the functions of larger, rack-based I/O without the space
requirements

Independently select the I/O, termination style, and network to meet your application needs

Two separate connection terminals for field power let you daisy chain power connections to adjacent terminal bases

One adapter communicates with up to eight I/O modules. Allows connection to:
• 256 digital input/output points, or
• 96 analog input/output points, or
• mix of I/O to meet your needs

Modularity of FLEX I/O system provides choice of network and ease of expansion. The wiring terminations are done almost entirely on the terminal
base. Terminal base termination selection includes screw-clamp, spring-clamp, and cage-clamp to wire directly to 2-, 3-, or 4-wire devices

Additional options of D-shell, knife disconnect, and fused terminal bases are available

Adjustable keyswitch helps prevent incorrect module insertion into a pre-configured terminal base

Terminal bases can be exchanged without moving other bases in your system

If desired, connect individual power supplies to each base to isolate modules. Plug the I/O module into the terminal base to connect the I/O bus and
field devices

Remove and insert modules under power. No direct wiring to the module enables you to change modules without disturbing field wiring or system
power

Mix and match I/O modules. There is a wide variety of digital, analog, and specialty modules

Each FLEX I/O system contains at least one adapter, one terminal base, and one I/O module

Rockwell Automation Publication 1794-SG002H-EN-P - November 2021 3
Chapter 1 About the FLEX I/O System
You can power the system with a FLEX power supply (1794-PS13 or -PS3), a 1606 switched mode power supply, or any other compatible power
source. Use the terminal block on the terminal base to wire your field devices directly. Wiring directly saves you:
• installation and testing time
• multiple, long wiring runs and external terminal blocks
• control cabinet panel space
FLEX I/O provides additional savings if system problems develop. Combining your field-wiring terminations and the I/O interface into the same
location saves you time and money by making your system easier to maintain and troubleshoot. Additionally, the full-featured FLEX I/O system lets
you, in non-hazardous location, remove, and insert modules under backplane power without disrupting your system

Your FLEX I/O system can communicate on EtherNet/IP, ControlNet, DeviceNet, and many other open networks including, but not limited, to Remote
I/O and PROFIBUS DP

Adapters and other components are available for adding to your system as your specific application requirements change

FLEX I/O XT Overview
FLEX I/O-XT™ modules are designated for extreme environment use

They differ from their non-XT counterparts only in operational temperature ranges and conformal coating is standard for FLEX I/O-XT products

FLEX I/O-XT modules meet or exceed the following standards:
• ANSI / ISA-S71.04-1985; Class G1, G2, and G3 Environments
• CEI IEC 6065A-4; Class 1 and 2 Environments
• UL 746E
• MIL-1-46058C to ASTM-G21; (Tropicalization and fungicide)
These standards specify common emissions and classify their concentration levels in a number of industrial processes. Just a few of the common
reactive agents that the FLEX I/O-XT modules protect against are:
• H2S – Hydrogen sulfide
• SO2, SO3 – Sulfur dioxide
• CnHn – Hydrocarbons
• NOx – Oxides of nitrogen
• CI2 – Wet Chlorine / Dry Chlorine
• NH3 – Ammonia

Select FLEX I/O Communication Adapters
Step 1 – Select:
a communication adapter based on the appropriate network
A FLEX I/O adapter module interfaces FLEX I/O modules to an I/O scanner port across a communication network. The FLEX I/O adapter module
contains a built-in power supply that converts 24V DC to 5V DC for the backplane to power the FLEX I/O modules

• Your 1794 FLEX I/O system can communicate on:
• EtherNet/IP
• ControlNet, single media or redundant
• DeviceNet
• Many other open networks including, Remote I/O, PROFIBUS DP, and others from PartnerNetwork™ Technology Partners
CIP Network Infrastructure
The Common Industrial Protocol (CIP™) allows complete integration of control with information, multiple CIP networks, and standard Internet
technologies. CIP provides manufacturers with a scalable and coherent architecture incorporating discrete, process, safety, synchronization and
motion applications using the same network technology as the ERP, MES enterprise levels applications. Ultimately, network convergence helps align
technology with business goals for business process transformation and enterprise-wide visibility

The following networks share the Common Industrial Protocol at their upper levels, while remaining media independent at their lower levels. This
allows manufacturers to specify the best network for their application and eliminate costly and complex gateways when connecting dissimilar
upper level networks

• EtherNet/IP is an open industrial networking standard that supports implicit and explicit messaging and uses commercial, off-the-shelf
Ethernet equipment and physical media

• ControlNet allows intelligent, high-speed control devices to share the information required for supervisory control, work-cell coordination,
operator interface, remote device configuration, programming, and troubleshooting

• DeviceNet offers high-speed access to plant-floor data from a broad range of plant floor devices and a significant reduction in wiring

(2) Modules that have the letter K in the last position of the catalog number, before the series designation, refer to conformal coated versions of the standard modules. These modules meet the following
certifications: ANSI / ISA-S71.04-1985, Class G1, G2, and G3 environments; CEI IEC 6065A-4 Class 1 and 2 environments; UL 746E

(3) Discontinued catalogs may not have updated specifications. For more information about a specific discontinued catalog, refer to individual installation instructions

(4) Modules that have the letter R in the catalog number, before the series designation, refer to redundancy versions of the standard modules and are meant for redundancy networks

(5) Modules that have the letters XT in the catalog number, before the series designation, refer to extended temperatures version of the standard modules

EtherNet/IP Network
EtherNet/IP is a network suitable for use in industrial environment and time-critical applications. EtherNet/IP uses standard Ethernet and TCP/IP
technologies and an open application layer protocol called the Control and Information Protocol (CIP). CIP is also the application layer used in
DeviceNet and ControlNet networks. The open Application Layer protocol makes interoperability and interchangeability of industrial automation and
control devices on EtherNet/IP a reality for automation and control applications

The 1794-AENT and 1794-AENTR connect FLEX I/O to EtherNet/IP enabled controllers such as ControlLogix® or CompactLogix™

DeviceNet Network
The DeviceNet network is an open low-level network that provides connections between simple industrial devices (such as sensors and actuators)
and higher-level devices (such as PLCs and computers). The DeviceNet network uses the proven Common Industrial Protocol (CIP) to provide the
control, configure, and data collection capabilities for industrial devices. The DeviceNet network is a flexible network that works with devices from
multiple vendors

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between flex 1794 analog hart io modules?

Overall, compared to the FLEX 1794 Analog-HART I/O modules, the FLEX 5000 highly-integrated HART I/O modules greatly improve the operational efficiency of machines through increased uptime. There are three specialty I/O modules within FLEX 1794 series, which include a very High-Speed counter module, Frequency modules, and Pulse Counter modules.

What is the difference between flex 1794 and flex 5000 io?

But the 1794 FLEX I/O series can withstand a higher amount of shock when in a non-operating mode compared to FLEX 5000 series. However, the FLEX 5000 I/O modules are built for use in hazardous areas such as radiation-exposed zones where other modules cannot be used.
