2.3.3 Removing and Installing Module Covers
Before you insert an I/O or communications module, remove the
module cover over the empty module slots in which you intend to install
the modules. Although you are not required to remove the power to the
ROC800 to perform this procedure, caution is always advisable when
working with a powered ROC800.
Caution
To avoid circuit damage when working inside the unit, use appropriate
electrostatic discharge precautions (such as wearing a grounded wrist
strap).
When working on units located in a hazardous area (where explosive
gases may be present), make sure the area is in a non-hazardous state
before performing procedures. Performing these procedures in a
hazardous area could result in personal injury or property damage.
To remove a module cover:
1.
Remove the wire channel cover.
2.
Unscrew the two captive screws on the face of the cover.
3.
Using the tab at the left side of the removable terminal block, pull
the module cover straight out from the ROC800 housing.
Note
:
If you remove a module for an extended period, install a module
cover plate over the empty module slot to keep dust and other
matter from getting into the ROC800.
To install a module cover:
1.

2.
Screw the two captive screws on the module cover plate.
3.
