Replacement of the Lexium 62 Distribution Box

Overview

Before beginning the replacement of specific components, read thoroughly the section Replacing Components and Cables for important safety information and general instructions.

How to Replace the Lexium 62 Distribution Box

NOTICE

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE

oDo not touch any of the electrical connections or components.

oPrevent electrostatic charges, for example, by wearing appropriate clothing.

oIf you must touch circuit boards, do so only on the edges.

oRemove existing static charge by touching a grounded, metallic surface.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.

Step	Action
1	After opening the connector locking mechanism of the Lexium 62 Distribution Box, disconnect the hybrid or power cable connector (cable connection from the Lexium 62 Connection Module). NOTE: Ensure that the cables clearly indicate their connections before disconnecting.
2	Disconnect the hybrid or power cable connectors of all connected motors.
3	Likewise, remove any strapping plugs that may be connected in the same manner, and retain them to replace on the new distribution module.
4	Dismount protective ground (earth) cable from the lower-right-corner metal bracket connection of the Lexium 62 Distribution Box.
5	Replace the Lexium 62 Distribution Box as a whole.
6	Attach connectors of the hybrid or power cable connectors of all motors to be connected.
7	In addition, replace any strapping plugs to their respective connections.
8	Secure the connectors by using the connector locking mechanism of the Lexium 62 Distribution Box.
9	Attach the hybrid or power cable connector (from the Lexium 62 Connection Module) and secure it by using the connector locking mechanism.
10	Mount ground (earth) cable to the lower-right-corner metal bracket connection of the Lexium 62 Distribution Box.

Removing the Lexium 62 Connection Module Hybrid or Power Cables

Step	Action
1	Open the connector locking mechanism of the Lexium 62 Distribution Box.
2	Detach the hybrid or power cable connector to its connection at the Lexium 62 Distribution Box.
3	Disconnect the cables at connectors CN4-5 (in the case of the hybrid cable), CN6, CN7, and CN8 at the Lexium 62 Connection Module.

Removing the Lexium 62 ILM Hybrid or Power Cables

Step	Action
1	Detach hybrid or power cable connector to the Lexium 62 ILM: oIn the case of the hybrid cable, open the connector locking mechanism and disconnect the hybrid cable connector. oIn the case of the power cable connector, loosen the retaining sleeve of the M23 connector and unbuckle the connector from the daisy-chain connector box.
2	Open the connector locking mechanism and detach the hybrid or power cable connector from its connection at the Lexium 62 Distribution Box.

Step

Action

Detach hybrid or power cable connector to the Lexium 62 ILM:

oIn the case of the hybrid cable, open the connector locking mechanism and disconnect the hybrid cable connector.

oIn the case of the power cable connector, loosen the retaining sleeve of the M23 connector and unbuckle the connector from the daisy-chain connector box.

Open the connector locking mechanism and detach the hybrid or power cable connector from its connection at the Lexium 62 Distribution Box.

Installing the Lexium 62 Connection Module Hybrid or Power Cables

Step	Action
1	Remove protective cover on the hybrid or power cables connector(s).
2	Attach the hybrid or power cable connector to its connection at the Lexium 62 Distribution Box.
3	Secure the connector by using the connector locking mechanism of the Lexium 62 Distribution Box.
4	Perform connections CN4-5 (in the case of the hybrid cable), CN6, CN7, and CN8 at the Lexium 62 Connection Module according to the connection overview.

Depending on the selected identification (address) mode in the EcoStruxure Machine Expert Logic Builder, an interchanged connection of the Sercos connectors can lead to unintended machine operation.

WARNING

UNINTENDED MACHINE OPERATION

Ensure that the Sercos cables are connected to the Sercos connections CN4/CN5 of the Lexium 62 Connection Module according to the requirements of the application, its configuration and applicable standards.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

Installing the Lexium 62 ILM Hybrid or Power Cables

Connect the pre-assembled hybrid or power cable connector for the connection between Lexium 62 ILM and Lexium 62 Distribution Box as follows:

Step	Action
1	Remove protective cover on the hybrid or power cables connector(s).
2	Attach hybrid or power cable connector to the Lexium 62 ILM: oIn the case of the hybrid cable, connect it directly to the Lexium 62 ILM integrated drive and secure it by using the connector locking mechanism. oIn the case of the power cable connector, connect the cable to the daisy chain connector box mounted on the Lexium 62 ILM via the M23 connector. Be sure to lock the M23 connector by twisting the connection sleeve to ensure a proper IP65 rated seal.
3	Attach the hybrid or power cable connector to its connection at the Lexium 62 Distribution Box and secure it by using the connector locking mechanism of the Lexium 62 Distribution Box.

WARNING
LOSS OF IP65 RATING
oAssemble the M23 cable connector correctly to the daisy-chain connector box to properly seal the connection and meet the IP65 protection class requirements. oTightly seal off open power socket connectors CN2/CN3 with an ILM62DCZ000 protection cap on the last drive of the daisy chain. oUse only cables and accessory parts from Schneider Electric.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.
