Does not function as a smart switch but as a relay with contacts either opened or closed. Also, set
the switches in this configuration if you are not going to use this channel.
Important: The positions of the switches are read at module power-up. If
the position of the switches is changed after module power-up, the
1785-BEM module will not recognize the new position.
Inserting the 1785-BEM Module into the I/O Chassis
To insert the 1785-BEM module in your I/O chassis, perform the following
steps. We recommend that you insert you 1785-BEM module into the
right-most slot of the first I/O module group in the I/O chassis. The
1785-BEM module must be in the same module group (as defined by
2-slot addressing) with the 1785-BCM module.
ATTENTION: Remove power from the 1771 I/O chassis
backplane and wiring arm before removing or installing an I/O
module.
- Failure to remove power from the backplane or wiring arm could
cause module damage, degradation of performance, or injury.
- Failure to remove power from the backplane could cause injury or
equipment damage due to possible unexpected operation.
