Configurating the 1757-FIM 4-55

Loading a FIM and its Links

The following procedure outlines the typical steps used to “load” a
FIM through the Project tab in Control Builder. It assumes that the FIM
and its associated RTP are installed and capable of communicating
with the system.

1. Verify that the OK LED on the front of the FIM is flashing and

the numbers 1 and 2 are sequencing in the left-hand LED on the
front panel display.

This confirms that the designated FIM is operating and that the
RTP and the H1 segment is OK.

2. Click the FIM block icon in the Project tab.

TIP

If ALIV appears in the FIM’s front panel display, you
must load the FIM’s personality firmware before
proceeding.
