Assembling an Expansion Module to a Controller or to Another Expansion Module

Introduction

This section describes how to assemble an expansion module to a controller or other modules.

 DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION OR ARC FLASH
  • Disconnect all power from all equipment including connected devices prior to removing any covers or doors, or installing or removing any accessories, hardware, cables, or wires except under the specific conditions specified in the appropriate hardware guide for this equipment.
  • Always use a properly rated voltage sensing device to confirm the power is off where and when indicated.
  • Replace and secure all covers, accessories, hardware, cables, and wires and confirm that a proper ground connection exists before applying power to the unit.
  • Use only the specified voltage when operating this equipment and any associated products.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

After connecting new modules to the controller, update, download and reinstall your application program before placing the system back in service. If you do not update your application program to reflect the addition of new modules, I/O located on the expansion bus may no longer operate correctly.

 WARNING
UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION
  • Only use software approved by Schneider Electric for use with this equipment.
  • Update your application program every time you change the physical hardware configuration.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

Assembling an Expansion Module to a Controller or to Another Expansion Module

You can assemble the TMS expansion module on or out of the DIN rail.

To assemble a module out of the DIN rail:

Step

Action

1

Remove all power and dismount any existing controller I/O assembly from its DIN mounting.

2

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

3

Verify that the locking device on the TMS expansion module to be added is in the upper position.

4

Align the internal bus connector of the TMS expansion module with the internal bus connector of the controller or expansion module.

5

Press the new module towards the controller or expansion module until it is securely in place.

6

Push down the locking device on the top of the new module to lock it to the controller or previously installed expansion module.

7

Clip the assembly on the DIN rail.

To assemble a module on the DIN rail:

Step

Action

1

Remove all power.

2

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

3

Verify that the locking device on the TMS expansion module to be added is in the upper position.

4

Clip the TMS expansion module to the DIN rail on the left side of the controller or expansion module.

5

Slide the TMS expansion module to the controller or expansion module.

6

Align the internal bus connector of the TMS expansion module with the internal bus connector of the controller or expansion module.

7

Press the new module towards the controller or expansion module until it is securely in place.

8

Push down the locking device on the top of the new module to lock it to the controller or expansion module.
