Installing the Input Module
This chapter gives you information on:
calculating the chassis power requirement
choosing the module’s location in the I/O chassis
keying a chassis slot for your module
wiring the input module’s field wiring arm
configuring your module configuration plugs
installing the input module
Before installing your input module in the I/O chassis:
You need to: As described under:
Calculate the power requirements of all modules in
each chassis.
Power Requirements, page 2Ć2.
Determine where to place the module in the I/O
chassis.
Module Location in the I/O Chassis,
page 2Ć2.
Key the backplane connector in the I/O chassis. Module Keying, page 2Ć2.
Make connections to the wiring arm.
Wiring Your Input Module, page 2Ć3
and Grounding, page 2Ć8.
Electrostatic discharge can damage semiconductor devices inside this
module if you touch backplane connector pins. Guard against electrostatic
damage by observing the following precautions:
ATTENTION: Electrostatic discharge can degrade
performance or cause permanent damage. Handle the module as
stated below.
Wear an approved wrist strap grounding device, or touch a grounded
object to rid yourself of electrostatic charge before handling the module.
Handle the module from the front, away from the backplane connector.
Do not touch backplane connector pins.
Keep the module in its static-shield bag when not in use.
