Install a 1769 EtherNet/IP Adapter Chapter 3

Remove or Replace the
Adapter

The adapter can be replaced while the system is mounted to a panel or DIN rail.

1. Remove power.

2. Remove the EtherNet/IP cable from the module.

3. Remove the upper and lower mounting screws from the adapter or open

the DIN latches with a flat-blade or Phillips-style screwdriver.

4. On the right-side adjacent module, move its bus lever to the right (unlock)

to disconnect it from the adapter being removed.

5. Gently slide the disconnected adapter forward.

If you feel excessive resistance, make sure that you disconnected the
adapter from the bus and that you removed both mounting screws or
opened the DIN latches.

6. Before installing the replacement adapter, be sure that the bus lever on the

right-side adjacent module is in the unlocked (fully right) position.

7. Slide the replacement adapter into the open slot.

8. Connect the adapter and modules together by locking (fully left) the bus

levers on the right-side adjacent module.

9. Replace the mounting screws or snap the adapter onto the DIN rail.

10. Insert the Ethernet cable into the module.

11. Set the network address switches to the same value as the removed adapter.

ATTENTION: Do not remove or replace an adapter while power is applied.
Interruption of the backplane can result in unintentional operation or machine
motion.

TIP

Rock the module slightly from front to back, if necessary, to remove it,
or, in a panel-mounted system, to loosen the screws of adjacent
modules.
