Both primary and standby chassis must carry identical slot population, identical module types and identical major firmware revisions for redundancy-ready qualification. Studio 5000 Logix Designer plus the Redundancy Module Configuration Tool sets the primary\/standby role, switch behavior and diagnostic reporting. A 1756-RM cannot be mixed with a 1756-RM2 in the same redundant pair; the sync protocol and port count are not cross-compatible .\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOrdering Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x 1756-RM redundancy module\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x 1756-RMCx single-mode fiber cable of selected length (1756-RMC1 \/ RMC3 \/ RMC10)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x module installation instruction sheet (Rockwell publication 1756-INxxx)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x product label \/ catalog tag sleeve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRack Pair Commissioning Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMount one 1756-RM in each of the two redundant chassis; never install only one unit and expect automatic fallback.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoute the LC fiber as point-to-point between the two 1756-RM modules; do not pass the link through an Ethernet switch, media converter or patch panel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeep the fiber bend radius above the cable manufacturer minimum; tight loops on 8.5\/125 um single-mode cable raise attenuation and force SYNC loss before the 10 km budget is reached.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVerify both chassis share the same 1756 power supply class (standard or redundant) and same backplane loading before enabling redundancy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Q\u0026amp;A\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan a single 1756-RM run a standalone non-redundant rack?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The 1756-RM has no standalone operating mode. It only synchronizes a primary chassis with a partner chassis that also contains a 1756-RM and a matching controller. Without the partner, the module reports a non-redundant fault and does not assume normal Hot Standby control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs online module replacement supported on a live redundant pair?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, subject to rules. Remove or insert one 1756-RM while the partner chassis and its own 1756-RM remain powered and synchronized.

The 1756-RM consumes 1.2 A at 5.1 VDC, 120 mA at 24 VDC and 4 mA at 1.2 VDC, giving a maximum dissipation near 9.0 W.
