1.5 Installing the Module in the Rack
If the ControlLogix processor and power supply have not already been installed
and configured, please do so before installing the MVI56E-SIE module. Refer to
the Rockwell Automation product documentation for installation instructions.
Warning: All safety instructions must be followed when installing this or any
other electronic devices. Failure to follow safety procedures could result in
damage to hardware or data, or even serious injury or death to personnel. Refer
to the documentation for each device that will be connected to verify that
suitable safety procedures are in place before installing or servicing the device.
After the placement of the jumpers has been checked, insert the MVI56E-SIE
into the ControlLogix chassis. Use the same technique recommended by
Rockwell Automation to remove and install ControlLogix modules.
ControlLogix system components can be installed or removed while chassis
power is applied and the system is operating. However, please note the following
warning.
Warning: When the module is inserted or removed while backplane power is on,
an electrical arc can occur. An electrical arc can cause personal injury or
property damage by sending an erroneous signal to the
system’s actuators. This
can cause unintended machine motion or loss of process control. Electrical arcs
may also cause an explosion when they happen in a hazardous environment.
Verify that power is removed or the area is non-hazardous before proceeding.
Repeated electrical arcing causes excessive wear to contacts on both the
module and its mating connector. Worn contacts may create electrical resistance
that can affect module operation.
1 Align the module with the top and bottom guides, and then slide it into the
rack until the module is firmly against the backplane connector.
2 With a firm, steady push, snap the module into place.
3 Check that the holding clips on the top and bottom of the module are securely
in the locking holes of the rack.
