Adapter and I/O Module Installation

Introduction

Observe the following guidelines when you install these adapter modules in an Modicon X80 RIO drop):

Order of Module Installation

Install modules in the selected rack in Control Expert in this order:

install the adapter module
install a power supply
install I/O modules

Grounding Considerations

DANGER

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

Switch off the power supply at both ends of the PAC connection, and lock out and tag out both the power sources.
In case lock out and tag out are not available, ensure that the power sources cannot be inadvertently switched on.
Use suitable insulation equipment when inserting or removing all or part of this equipment.

Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

NOTE: Refer to the ground connection information in Electrical installation guide.

Consideration of a Shielded Cable with an Accessible Metal Part

Follow all local and national safety codes and standards.

DANGER

HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

If you cannot prove that the end of a shielded cable is connected to the local ground, the cable must be considered as dangerous and personal protective equipment (PPE) must be worn.

Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

Installation of the Adapter

Control Expert automatically installs an adapter module in slot 0 in an RIO drop.

Select a Power Supply

Power consumption is 1.2 A on a 5 Vdc power rail on the backplane (6 W). The adapter module supports modules on 1 or 2 racks. (Power consumption has no relation to the number of installed rack modules.)

In Modicon X80 Ethernet RIO drops, insert the power supply only in the double-wide slot to the left of slot 0 marked CPS .

Select a power supply that suits your system requirements. These power supplies (and their hardened versions) are supported:

Power Supply Type	Modicon X80 Module
standalone	BMXCPS2010 BMXCPS3020 BMXCPS2000 BMXCPS3500 BMXCPS3540
redundant	BMXCPS4002 NOTE: You can install BMXCPS4002 modules only on these dual-bus racks (Ethernet and X bus): BMEXBP0602 BMEXBP1002

Select I/O Modules

Use the Control Expert Hardware Catalog to select the I/O modules needed in your application in the main remote rack and, if available, the extended remote rack.

Mounting a Module

Use this procedure to install adapters and I/O modules in a rack:

Step	Action
1	Hold the module at an angle and mount it on the 2 hooks near the bottom of the backplane. The figure shows the correct way to hold the module:
2	Swing the module up so that the connector engages the backplane connector.
3	Tighten the mounting screw so that the module is held in place on the rack. Tightening torque: 0.4...1.5 N•m (0.30...1.10 lbf-ft).

Step

Action

Swing the module up so that the connector engages the backplane connector.

Tighten the mounting screw so that the module is held in place on the rack.

Tightening torque: 0.4...1.5 N•m (0.30...1.10 lbf-ft).

Replacing a Module

You can replace an Modicon X80 module at any time using another module with compatible firmware. The replacement module obtains its operating parameters over the backplane connection from the CPU. The transfer occurs immediately at the next cycle to the device.

NOTE: The operating parameters that the CPU sends to a replacement module do not include any parameter values that were edited in the original module using explicit messaging SET commands.

Installation Results

Applying power to the main local rack after the adapter module is installed can result in either:

Successful installation:
- Initialization is finished.
- Interconnections to other modules are validated (drop adapter module only).
Unsuccessful installation:
- Initialization does not finish.
- Interconnections to other modules are not validated (drop adapter modules only).

You can see the status of the installation on the adapter LED display.
