Step 3: Install Communication Daughtercards (optional)
For specific information about configuring the communication card (such as setting
a node address), see the installation instructions for the communication card.
1. Turn off power to the controller.
2. If necessary, remove the blank cover from the communication slot.
3. Slide the communication card into the communication slot. Be sure to line
up the card with the card guides in the controller.
4. Record which slot you use for the communication card. You need the slot
number when you develop your controller application.
5. Secure the card with the screws to ensure proper grounding. Do not
over-tighten the screws. The maximum torque for the card screws is 4.8 to
5.2 inch pounds (0.5 to 0.6 Nm)
6. After the controller is installed (see page 12), connect the network cable.
Removing a Communication Card
If you need to remove a communication card from the controller:
1. Turn off power to the controller.
2. Disconnect all cables from the communication card.
3. Loosen the card screws from the communication card.
4. Remove the card from the controller.
5. Replace the card with a blank cover or a different communication card.
WARNING
If you insert or remove the card while host power is on, an
electrical arc can occur. This could cause an explosion in haz-
ardous location installations.
