Overview
The following information describes how to install the 140 NOC 771 01 Ethernet communication module.
External Features
LEDs
The Ethernet communication module presents the following LED indicators:
For a description of these LEDs, and how to use them to diagnose the module, refer to the topic LED Indicators for the Ethernet Communication Module.
Locating a Backplane Slot
The Ethernet communication module operates on a Quantum PLC station. It can be installed in any available position in the PLC backplane.
Selecting a Power Supply
When configuring the PLC station, add a power supply module that is capable of supplying power to modules on the rack.
Tools Required
One medium-sized (size 2) Phillips-head screw driver.
Mounting the Module in the Backplane
Step
Action
1
Holding the module at an angle, mount it on the two hooks located near the top of the backplane.
The following figure shows the correct way to hold the module.
2
Swing the module down so the connector engages the backplane connector.
3
Use a Phillips-head screw driver to tighten the screw at the bottom of the module from 2 through 4 in-lbs or from .22 through .45 Newton meters of torque.
Wiring the Ethernet Connector
WARNING
HAZARD OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR BURN
Connect the ground wire to the protective ground (PE) terminal before you establish any further connections. When you remove connections, disconnect the ground wire last. Connect the Ethernet cable shield to PE ground at the Ethernet switch.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.
The Ethernet communication module communicates over an Ethernet network through a single RJ45 connector located at the bottom of the module.
