4.2 Installation
Caution
Failure to exercise proper electrostatic discharge precautions, such as
wearing a grounded wrist strap may reset the processor or damage
electronic components, resulting in interrupted operations.
When installing units in a hazardous area, make sure all installation
components selected are labeled for use in such areas. Installation and
maintenance must be performed only when the area is known to be non-
hazardous. Installation in a hazardous area could result in personal
injury or property damage.
Each I/O module installs in the ROC800 in the same manner. You can
install any I/O module into any module socket, whether empty or in
place of another module.
Caution
The design of ROC800-Series communications and I/O modules
supports “hot-swapping” (replacing similar modules in the same slot)
and “hot-plugging” (inserting modules into an empty slot) while the
ROC800 is powered. However, it is a good safety practice with any
electrical device to first remove power before you make internal
connections. If you find it necessary to hot-swap or hot-plug a module,
first review the most current specification sheet for that module to
ensure both your safety and the integrity of data that module may
provide.
Note
:
After you install a new I/O module or replace an existing I/O
module, it may be necessary to reconfigure the ROC800. To
change configuration parameters, use ROCLINK 800 software
to make changes to the new module. Any added modules (new
I/O points) start up with default configurations. Refer to the
ROCLINK 800 Configuration Software User Manual (for
ROC800-Series)
(Part Number D301250X012) or the
ROCLINK
800 Configuration Software User Manual (for ROC800L)
(Part
Number D301246X012).
4.2.1 Removing and Installing Wire Channel Covers
The ROC800 includes wire channel covers (see
Figure 4-2
) you install
over the wiring channels once you complete wiring the terminal blocks
on the modules.
To remove a wire channel cover:
1.
Grasp the wire channel cover at both the left and right ends.
2.
Start at the left or right and pull the wire channel cover out of the
wire channel.
To install a wire channel cover:
1.
Align the wire channel cover over the wire channel, allowing
unobstructed wire access.
2.
Press the wire channel cover into place until it snaps.
