3.1

Wiring

The installation of wiring should conform to all applicable codes. To

reduce the possibility of noise interfering with the control system,

exercise care when installing wiring from the system to external

devices. For detailed recommendations, refer to IEEE Standard 518

(Guide for the Installation of Electrical Equipment to Minimize

Electrical Noise Inputs to Controllers). For network cable installation

procedures, refer to the RĆNet Cable Installation Manual (J2Ć3009).

3.2

Initial Installation

Use the following procedure to install the module:
Step 1.

Stop any application tasks that may be running.

DANGER

THIS EQUIPMENT IS AT LINE VOLTAGE WHEN AĆC POWER IS CONNECTED,

DISCONNECT AND LOCK OUT ALL UNGROUNDED CONDUCTORS OF THE AĆC

POWER LINE. FAILURE TO OBSERVE THESE PRECAUTIONS COULD RESULT

IN SEVERE BODILY INJURY OR LOSS OF LIFE.

Step 2.

Turn off power to the system. All power to the rack, as well

as all power to the wiring leading to the rack, should be

off.

Step 3.

Take the module out of its shipping container. Take it out of

the antiĆstatic bag, being careful not to touch the

connectors on the back of the module.

Step 4.

Insert the module into the desired slot in the rack. The

module can reside in any slot in an AutoMax/DCS5000

rack containing at least one Processor. Use a screwdriver

to secure the module into the rack.

Step 5.

Set the drop number of the RĆNet module using the two

rotary switches on the module faceplate. The upper switch

is the most significant digit and the lower switch is the

least significant digit. The decimal node number value

must be converted to hexadecimal. Only settings 0 to 250

(0 to FA hexadecimal) are valid. Fault code 4 will be

displayed at powerĆup if the switches are set to a value

greater than 250. If the node number is less than 16

(decimal), the upper switch must be set to zero. Refer to

Appendix D for the node number conversion chart.
The node number settings are recognized only at

powerĆup. Therefore, make sure each node on the

network has a unique node number before power is

applied. If more than one device is given the same node

number, all of the devices having the same node number

will attempt to transmit at the same time resulting in line

transmission collisions and loss of data.

Step 6.

Connect the Tee connector (M/N 45C70) to the BNC

connector on the face of the module.

Step 7.

Connect the coaxial cable to the Tee connector. If this is

the last node on the network, place a 75 ohm terminating

load (M/N 45C71) on the remaining side of the Tee

connector.
