Assembling a Module to a Controller

Introduction

This section describes how to assemble a module to a controller.

After attaching new I/O modules to the controller, it is important to update and re-download your application program before placing the system back in service. If you do not revise your application program to reflect the addition of new modules, I/O located on the expansion bus may no longer operate normally.

Assembling a Module to a Controller

The following procedure shows how to assemble a controller and a module together.

Step

Action

1

 Remove all power and dismount any existing controller/IO assembly from its DIN/panel mounting.

2

Remove the expansion connector sticker from the controller or the outermost installed module.

3

Verify that the locking device on the new module is in the upper position.

4

Align the internal bus connector on the left side of the module with the internal bus connector on the right side of the controller or module.
